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.

Nice price on books - but shipping was almost as much. It would be nice to have shipping deals
I really like Alibris for getting books that I discover that are older.
I LOVE Alibris! Your prices and service have been very good.
Thanks!
One of my simpler orders. A rather scarce book, was glad to get it.
Smooth browsing and checkout, as usual.
Success. I have a few Cadfael chronicles that I've re-read, and now would like to add to my collection of Mysterious Press copies. I found the titles that I have not read, and they'll match what is on the shelf.
As usual, I enjoyed my browsing around. I found a real treasure, one I know I'll enjoy.
The inability to sort/filter versions and translators and publishers across similar makes it hard to find what you want if you know exactly what you want, but at the same time it makes it hard to browse!
Always good to great. However there was a free shipping email that seemed like a bit of a grift because it is extremally unobvious how to get that free shipping
Great library of books and great prices. I would definitely shop here again when I want a book.
Easy to navigate website. Excellent price for the book. Thank you.
Search function is easy to use and sort orders items by different criteria both ascending and descending.
I was looking for this book, but an inexpensive one. I got what I wanted quickly & it was also in good shape.
I ordered and it came fast and it was the right thing very good so excited thank you
Alibris takes good care of their customers, their customer's purchases, and all is done well.
Great price except for shipping. Conditions always great, thank you.
Alibris is always a great place to shop - I am a repeat customer with many successful purchases
Effortless website interaction / often the best price available
I ordered two books from the same vendor so that they would ship together. Instead, the vendor wrapped each separately and charged separate shipping. It cost more to ship each package than the cist to purchase the books. Shame on the vendor!
User friendly purchase. Thank you! Everything worked when I clicked on it at the checkout. No hassles.
Rare and difficult to find book. Was pleased to find one at reasonable price
I mostly buy digital books, because, frankly, I am out of shelf space, but there are a few books that I wanted in print form and I have found this site to be very well stocked and as least with this order, I was pleasantly surprised and very satisfied. I will be back it I wish to purchase print books again,
Assuming I get the correct book, it looks good, and it arrives within the "traceable expedited" timeframe, I'd purchase from Alibris again.
