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.

Alibris never lets me down. Great service with quality books.
Always pleased with your selections, descriptions and competitive prices
Very good. You appear to have the book I want at a reasonable price. I particularly appreciate the descriptions of the conditions of the books you sell.
This the first time I have visited this site. So far, things are going well. I quickly found what I was looking for and at a good price.
Ordering went well. Although, when I advised that this is a gift, I was issued a warning which I did not understand. That is off-putting.
Overall, smooth operations.
I am making a choice to not buy from amazon anymore, because of their censorship. I like that you are a company that works with private bookSellers. Also I like your CEO, I've researched him for a group that I'm with, we are finding other companies to spend our money with.
Alibris was easy to shop with. I was able to find the books I was looking for at an affordable price and make my purchase quickly.
So far so good. I've used Alibris a few times now. I can leave a more detailed review after I receive my books.
I really find this shopping experience to be very helpful Easy and I find so many books for great prices. Better than Amazon.
I wish it was easier to check and audit my selection.
Editing the shopping cart required backing up to previous pages; also, it was difficult to compare shipping rates (ie: pick a higher-priced book but pay less because of lower shipping). Otherwise, the experience was fine.
Easy to do although the whole idea of a "sale" when you have to buy $110 worth is just silly
I am pleased with all of my purchases so far. Books have arrived in described condition and I love that I can use PayPal for purchasing.
I have dealt with your organization for ten years now and service has always been prompt and satisfactory. Keep up the good work.
Always good service and accurate book descriptions.
I wanted to buy a specific book for my niece. I was glad to find good quality editions of the books I was looking for at a low price. I just wish the seller would've discounted my shipping since I ordered two things from the same place. Stinks to pay more for shipping that the items themselves.
Never knew this existed. What a great way to find used books.
I had a bit of trouble maneuvering at first, but otherwise it's been a. Joyful experience
Good experience, typically low prices (good deals) but expensive shipping (overall very good experience)
Books are usually in good shape and reasonably priced. Alibris is one of three used book sites I buy from. Check my wish list regularly.
