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.

An image of the actual book would be very helpful in saving time, and in making a decision between one copy and another.
Easy, fast, expansive selection of booksellers and titles.
Good options I saw and everything is at a cheap price which is good for a money saver like me
Easy to find all kinds of textbooks or books of any genre and this website has great deals on the products
As a french people the service needed to transport my order was very good
Found the book I wanted, price was good - shipping high but combined book and shipping in line with other sites - but everything you want is here!
The item I was looking for was easy to find and the the site worked well.
Found every book I needed to complete an author's collection.
The availability of my book choice and ease of using the website
I ordered CS Lewis's 8 Book Signature Collection (what was pictured and described) but received an older 6 book collection.
My professor reccomended a listing for a textbook I needed for her class. Usually, I'm wary about buying books online, but, everything worked out! I found the book used for about ten dollars rather than the 88 that the college sold it for. It arrived on time to the mailroom, and they followed my delivery instructions. Arrived in 2 days, with plenty of time before my class started, and in great shape.
It was easy to use the website to purchase a book and it came in a decent amount of time. Alibris had the book at a good price and I'm trying to avoid shopping on Amazon because Bezos is a Trump boot licker. I hope the owners of Alibris aren't either!
Quick service and good customer service. Recommend to everyone
Just discovered this site. Really good deals and free shipping, we shall see the quality.
Good. No problems. I don't like that I'm having to fill out this form with text.
All of my books arrived on time except for one which was delivered a few days after the days projected when I bought them.
"You don't have an account" but no way to create one until the entire shopping process is complete. Frustrating.
One of my top choices for hard to find books at reasonable prices.
Always a great choice for those hard to find items that are so expensive on other sites.
The shipping cost was almost half again the cost of the book. Not good.
It was fine. It's a store. Offered options. I chose. Now it is making me write this stupid review.
Best price for exactly what I needed. As described. Quick shipping. Will recommend and shop again and again.
Quick. Cheap. Good condition. I'm very happy with my book.
