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.

So easy to find books, compare editions, and assess how "used" they are
Needed used copies of a novel in Spanish. Was able to purchase a number of them through Alibris.
I bought with no problem at all. Amazon charged more and the strugle to buy forced me to buy from another source
Found two books easily, that I had been looking for, at a faction of new book price.
Quick online access, easy to navigate and locate the book looking for. Good information on expected condition and ratings on sellers. Thank you
Unable to update credit card information for payment processing. Tried multiple times with error that unable to process try later. Later trying to purchase it appeared all was well with updating credit card/ pmt information but page continued to refresh like it wasn't taking it. Finally got it to take paypal as a pmt method and that worked. So good news
I was easy to find what I was looking for and at a great price! I also found another book based on a recommendation from the website and that was a tremendous deal and a phenomenal price!
Easy process. I'm satisfied with the quality of the shopping experience today.
Your PayPal linkage is not working to the linked address. It is terrible!
I was forced to use my credit card instead! Shame on you!
Very positive
No need to write more,not something I want to spend alot of time doing
I like that books are available in different conditions and from various suppliers. Also great that you're offered alternative options to save on the price or shipping before confirming your order.
The easy-to-use website made it very easy to order. Thanks!
Alibris is my go-to bookseller. It's easy to find the titles I am interested in reading.
Easy to find titles and place order. Helpful purchasing options. Based upon past experience, reliable source for timely deliveries.
Shipping took longer than was originally advertised but the book was in good condition as stated.
I look for good used books as gifts. Great place to find what I want.
I found most of what I was looking for. Thanks
Easy to navigate, easy to find stuff, good prices, the only thing is the shipping charges, wish they had a Media mail rate. Other than that it's great.
I was happy with my Alibris transaction in every way I can think of.
