Alibris Reviews Summary
Alibris enjoys a generally positive reputation among customers, particularly for its wide selection of used books at competitive prices and reliable shipping. Many customers appreciate the timely delivery and the ability to track orders, contributing to overall satisfaction. However, concerns arise regarding the variability in book conditions, with some items not meeting expectations, and delays in shipping for urgent needs. Additionally, the separate shipping fees for each book can deter purchases. Despite these issues, the platform remains a favored choice for many due to its extensive inventory and user-friendly website.

Could not figure how to get to cart without placing another book on the list. I closed out yesterday and came back today with same problem.
First time user, good book prices. $4 shipping seems high for one small paperback, media mail should be $1.
I found the books I wanted and in excellent condition.
User friendly! Easy to manipulate website - straight forward!
I always love Alibris. This is my preferred site for buying books.
Today, you had the books I was looking for and the price was terrific.
Wonderful site, nearly always find what I am looking for at great prices
Would have liked to see some obvious announcement at the top of the main page that free shipping was available for a minimum order. I didn't scroll down the main page and only saw it when I was in the shopping cart about to submit the order. If I had seen it earlier, I probably would have shopped for more. Just a thought.
Would prefer to get books from one place to reduce multiple shipping routes
I tried to use a coupon that was sent to me by email, but in all cases, the website said that the coupon was not valid for the amount purchased, even though that amount was greater than what the email said! This is false advertising and extremely disappointing in a company in which I have had confident in the past.
Shipping is a little much but the price of the books themselves more than makes up for it
Last time I was not familiar; this time its short and sweet. But i feel for the standard shipping fees is high.
Great selection of books, great prices and there are always coupons!
Shipping cost were supposed to be free if over 40$ and I got charged. That's messed up!
Quick and easy; the ratings on the available objects were helpful
I can always find older decent books I cannot find elsewhere.
I always com back to alibris when looking for a used book!* *
Everything was so easy to find. Pages were user friendly. Love the variety
Shopping with alibis was fast, easy, and they had exactly what I was looking for.
I wish the sellers could provide more info on the books they have for sale, as well as come photos of the book. This should be doable.
Irritated with shipping rates; mislead about shipping rates until you are about to pay
