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.

Great selection. Great prices... and great packaging - I generally order only new books, and they always arrive in pristine condition. My thanks to everyone at Alibris.
Pretty easy as usual. No complication nor subterfuge.
The search method seems it would be better if it had fields for authors, titles, and such... maybe it does and I am inept at finding it.
Why did i get email says free shipping and shipping cost me 15.00
I was able to find books that aren't available in the stores. I love I can choose what price and condition of book. At a price I wouldn't mind.

Good so far and if I get the books around the expected time its a 5 star order
Your shipping rates are a bit too high when purchasing from the same seller. That should be discounted and it is not
My experience with Alibris has been very good. I would recommend them to others. Orders shipped on time. Thank you!
Easy to compare offerings by dealings, and to find what I was looking for
I am not comfortable with the prompt to "save and continue" after entering my credit card information. Usually, there is an option to "save" or keep this information "on file", which I usually do not do. Is my credit card information automatically being saved?
You have the book at the best price. You have shipping at a great price. You have a coupon I can use, too. What's not to love at this site!

You sent me an email advertising free shipping, but when I checked out, the shipping was not free.

Had what I wanted at a good Price. Arrived quickly
I always get e-mails from you but I'm thinking this is the first time I order from you, hope it works out!
I love shopping from Alibris! It's the ultimate in recycling. Many good books at great prices.
Great selection but "trade paperbacks" should inform the customer that the print is EXCEEDINGLY SMALL/barely legible
I was happy but not surprised that I could get this book at Alibris even though I had read it years ago and found that it was updated in 2013.
This is my first experience with Alibris; seems good for now; I like the fact of being offered a lower price because other options of the same books were available under Alibris. I do seem to like this site and will continue to purchase; very easy navigation.
There was quite a bit of back and forth with support.vitalsource.com to try figure out if any of the pages were printable.
Shipping is high. I understand that this is due to the books coming in from many different areas in the country.
