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 would like pages counts on all printed materials.
The shipping ended up being so high that I had to abandon the other 2 books i wanted to get.
Would have liked to purchase a used book instead, but am satisfied with my choice of purchase
Good experience. My order was processed correctly.
GOOD AND EASY FINDING BOOKS.
DOESN'T SHOW ALL EDITIONS BY DEFAULT.
NO OBVIOUS WAY TO SORT BOOKS BY DISTANCE TO ADDRESS.
It was easy and I found a number of options for the book I want. Thank you for remembering me even though I have not ordered recently. I am happy not to use Amazon!
4.5 stars just because i rarely give 5. Good job, all!
I've always gotten what I ordered and in a reasonable time
Alibris is my number one source for getting scholarly books.
I also use it to "scan the library shelves" when I need to learn what books exist on a topic.
So it is a research aid as much as a store.
Quickly and easily found the book I was looking for.
I'm glad you have reasonable rates to mail to Canada!
Shipping is more reasonable than others. I had some trouble getting it to take my password. A password reset was sent to my email and prob. Was resolved.
I like that you give out coupons, but they all seem to be for if you order over $50 at once. I don't normally order more than one book at once. Maybe you could start a rewards program that accumulates and gives a bonus once you reach a certain amount of money spent. That would be more realistic for me.
Good selection and I was able to change my address, unlike other online other merchants!
Wish the packaging was better for shipping since some books have come damaged but overall one of the cheapest sites to buy manga
Always have what I'm looking for at a good price and ships quickly.
Love being able to find books, that may not be new but are in great shape.
I love Alibris. It's quick and easy to find whatever book you are looking for. Prices are always great.
I always find good deals on Alibris and have never disappointed in shipping or condition of the books I buy.
