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.

I really enjoy the deals from this site, but I wish they didn't request info for email as frequently, I don't like spam mail.
It is difficult to find proper info about shipping costs.
Alibris is my go to place for all the books. And it has been that for last 5 plus years.
Very user friendly site. Very good savings on desired products!
Hoping it arrives in a timely manner and in good shape.
I entered the code "THANKS" to my order but did not receive the $5 discount, after signing up at your site. I placed the order *******-1, but you owe me $5, not to mention the time and trouble I went through.
The items I wanted at good prices and not too much for shipping.
The total price comes up as two different figures as a result of the shipping address (Australia as opposed to US) - one is $19.55 and the other more (I have lost the screen on which it was written). It would be easier for the shopper to have a consistent price - once Australian delivery address has been written in, not to default back to the assumption that it is US.
I think the shipping is too high. You can get the book cheaper than the shipping. Even though USPS does charge more it still doesn't come to $3.99 each and I think when one purchases from the same dealer, you should get them for a cheaper rate.
Easy to search and like the different options: used, new, hardcover, soft, etc.
I would rate it 4 stars. It has great rates and many of the same item to compare. But I don't like that the shipping is separate from the cost. I'd rather have the total cost already calculated to filter the search list from least expensive to most. But I can easily click the item details and look each item over quickly.
Found what I wanted, ordered, paid, and received a fair shipping price and delivery date.
I was able to find the books that I wanted at a very good price
Would have liked to have had a 'gift' option so that receiver did not get a copy of the receipt.
Easy and simple - I can find what I'm looking for at great prices.
Easy enough. But shipping is far too expensive. See thrift books.
It was real easy to order this item. Only took a few minutes. Thank you. Will recommend to others.
Perhaps I'm spoiled by Amazon, but your policy of dropping items from my basket after 12 hrs is irritating, and when changes occur to my basket the change isn't identified beyond "A change occurred..." - would be nice to know what had been removed.
But thank you for your service.
It was good. The experience would be even better... if the S&H did not cost MORE than some of the books ordered.
This website had everything at amazing prices and it was easy to find the books I wanted :)
