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.

Too complicated to order. Sign from Google asking is I owned this website was annoying and worrisome. I almost cancelled my order.
I always get just what I want! I love owning books for my personal library, and everything comes in great condition
I ordered my first CD a week ago. It was in perfect condition
Enjoy purchasing books through Alibris, excellent selection of hard to find books!
Good experience, as long as you are not affiliated with Amazon, right?

Found the 3 books my wife wants with 5 minutes, order completed with 10 minutes.
It's a joy buying from Alibris. Every seller has been prompt is shipping books.
Checking out is always quick and convenient. It is always a delight to knowing I will soon acquire my order.
I am grateful for a website that helps independent booksellers.
The process is fast and searching is easy. Excellent database.
This was a little confusing with the changes at the end. It would be nice if they added the free shipping choices to the final tally savings change.
A very competitive price! This rounds out the King's thinking on the war.
I find Alibris easier to use than either Amazon or Abe Books.
Clearly and elegantly stated instructions; easy to navigate.
One arrived in three days. The other took three weeks. My ratings are my best attempt at an average between an excellent experience and a mediocre one. Unfortunately, Alibris has little control over individual sellers' shipping times
Very convenient to shop Alibris. I'm glad there's still a truly independent option.
The internet was being slow today and my first attempt to purchase "disappeared".
I love Alibris. I have been using it since college. Whenever I hear of an interesting book I look to you.
Find what we need but the shipping has increased a bit. I know it all depends on the shipping address but ALL of them are $4.99.
Typed in what I was looking for. It appeared on my screen in nano seconds. Easy to navigate. A straightforward purchase!
The book was at the best price that I could find. The prices varied greatly on different book order sites.
Somehow the billing address for my credit card got set to my home address (nothing I ever touched). That should never have happened (the card can't work with my home address as billing address). Something is screwy with the the system because I've used the same credit card with the correct billing address for years.
