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.

Simple, expedient, excellent all around. Good information, easy purchasing.
Easy to find what I want, easy to place my order, good selection.
Easy to search out titles or authors, easy checkout, great prices.
Found what i wanted and was able to purchase it, only twelve more characters
Shipping seems quite high for a media-mail-eligible purchase from a single seller. I understand if I bought from many different sources, that purchasing multiple items wouldn't result in lower shipping per piece. But this does not seem right.
Great place to purchase books use their services often and will continue to do so
Always great to buy vintage books in this site.
Books were so affordable, arrived super quick and the condition was great as described.
Thank you for Goodwill doing good things. I appreciate the employment of adults
Fast and easy. The price was right too. Alibris popped up when I was searching for the book.
Shipped with care. Price was very fair. Would definitely buy from them again and wholly recommend them for all book purchase!
Slick as a whistle. I will probably look at your site again for used books
Ez checkout for first time buyer...good prices, nice interface.
Easy to find and good price as usual. Always enjoy the books.
My most recent purchase was a massive to.e from the MET Museum of Art MEXICO Splenders of Thirty Centuries. It was very reasonably priced, well packed and rapidly dispatched. What more could one ask? When I have ordered smaller format books they have always found there way to me!
I found the site easy to navigate, which enabled me to locate the book I needed today.
Prices on the books are great, but the shipping gets a bit ridiculous. I ordered 3 books and paid over $9 in shipping!
I love using Alibris books... I always find something interesting relating to whatever I am searching for and most often end up buying different books than I originally planned. Always fun!
Pretty good! Goodness! OK, I be back! And with it goes a lot of curiosity in a bunch of subjects...
Quick and affordable. The local library didn't have it in their database, so I looked online and found it here immediately!
It's not fair to ask to rate before any thing more than placing and order n taking payment. So far yeah it looks like it's placed and the money was taken from my acct. So so far normal...let's see when it shows n the condition it shows up in.
