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.

Great selection. Everything is always easy to find. I love the affordable prices too.
Always a good selection of books. This is one of my go-to sites for hard to find books.
Great source for older hard to find dvds. Have used it several times and never missed.
Prices are always great and below retail price and shipping is just as good. Always packaged nicely, so im never worried my books will arrive damaged.
Quick and Easy. Really like that I don't have to "join up" to be able to buy books here.
Thank you for the quick and easy service and for providing books which are both affordable and in great condition.
Thank you for a user friendly system.
You've raised your shipping charge, and you're demanding $#*!
I wish it were easier to shop at one or two stores -- to set the search function to search only within the collections of Store A or Store B (because that's where I found my top choice book, and I want to buy some more to make the shipping worth it.)
Lots of screen refreshes -- when I move an item from my cart to my Wish List, I should not have to navigate back to my cart.

It was easy to find the book I was looking for, the seller was listed and my order went through swimingly.
Easy website to use. Plentiful selection. Always satisfied.
Easy to use; wide selection within my selected titles. Great prices for a retired person's income.
I received my DVDs in time for my purposes. All but one were if perfect working order with minimal scratching on the boxes. One DVD did end up having a scratch that interfered with the playback in the very middle of the movie. We decided to test them all before keeping them.
I had an issue with a previous item, a piano workbook where the last 12 pages were missing. I had also had a previous issue with a used workbook being 20% written in. Some sellers are more honest about the condition than others. It would be great if they included actual product photos.
Easy website, good prices, several sellers, availability of book,
My first book ordered in over 10 years was described accurately and the shipping was very quick. Arrived in nearly perfect condition and I'm very happy with the seller.
I just placed my 2nd order and waiting for a confirmation.
Book was shipped same day as ordered, arrived 10 days later. Was a great price with minimal usage, would reccomend!
Easy, books in great shape. Will look here for more books in the future
Easy and straightforward. Good selection of books and the descriptions are clear.
Always excellent. The inventory is chock full of options, details, titles and authors of a gazillion different types of books.
Clearly marked and great big inventory
