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.

Book as described. Excellent experience. Would recommend.
Easy and great prices. It appears that Alibris has many selections to choose from.
Consistently excellent service. And I believe it's because the founders of the site, themselves, LOVE books! And it shows.
Time and time again Alibris has had the book I'm looking for at the best price (shipping included.)
Easy transaction. Shipping was cheap and arrived before the estimated delivery date.
Not pleased that shipping both items to same address did not reduce shipping cost which was double the cost of shipping one identical item.
If you order an item that turns out to be unavailable, Alibris suggests a replacement from another vendor. I'm so glad Alibris offers this service!
Fast shipping. Book arrived in excellent conditions. Great Service.
I made my order and received it in a very timely manner. A book was in excellent condition and I will definitely order from this company again.
Very easy and convenient to use. Thank you for your service.
I found what I was looking for and a great price
I'm always looking for art books, which can be pricey. Alibris is my first choice and I always save.
Book price good
Shipping more than I thought
Also you have a good selection of this author
Quick and easy to find what i wanted books very cheap
Shipping more than i thought more than price of both books
The process was easy, but I am not that good at surveys and am now complete.
I received the order in several shipments. The documentation in the shipments did not always match what was included in the shipment. It was a bit confusing, but eventually, all the items I ordered arrived.
Excellent service for good products.
Why do business with A****n when you can support small, local business?
The book I ordered arrived promptly. Its condition was as described. Fair price. Can't ask for more than that!
I was looking for the second edition of Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier. As this book was first published in 1996, my first stop was thriftbooks.com, but I only found listings for the first edition. Then I visited Alibris, and I discovered that ThriftBooks was a seller! I found a listing for the second edition (very good for $2.77), and I bought it. The book arrived promptly and in the condition advertised. With tax and shipping, the order total was $8.00, and I couldn't be happier.
Quick, easy and I got exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
It is always lovely shopping at Alibris where you can find rare and unique books at your fingertips! Thank you for remaining privately owned!
