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.

This site has the best prices and selection for books. Just be sure to check the shipping rates as they vary per seller. Easy to find books and check out.
Great place to shop for new manga with frequent coupon opportunities! You can usually get volumes for cheaper than on giant corporate sites like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Crunchyroll (unless Crunchyroll is having a sale). Love that the free shipping option is only $39 as opposed to some other sites like Barnes & Noble and MerryManga where the free shipping is $50 and $85, respectively.
Easy and quick with lots of options and good pricing for quality books
Things worked smoothly on this website.
I found the book and was able to change my password and arrange the sale quickly.
Prices are great! Product is always great; although books are used, they are always good enough to give as gifts. Thank you, Alibris!
I have shopped here before and have always been very satisfied. The service is good, the products always arrived I top notch condition.
It was easy to search for my item. Quick service and item arrived quickly.
You've had all the books I've wanted. The only issue I have is the shipping cost for EACH book. If I am ordering multiple books, I'm getting charged shipping for each book.
I hate being asked to spend time on rating and talking about my purchase.
At first my order was cancelled via email. The book was no longer available. Then I received a signed copy! I'm not sure what happened but I'm happy about it.
Love Alibris for great prices and books hard to find anywhere. Thanks!
The post office has book rates when shipping that should save customer more money, I hate it when the shipping cost as much as the book, I don't feel like I am saving money
Everything that arrived came in good condition. One item was cancelled by the seller due to all of a sudden not having it, despite it saying in stock when I placed the order.
Annoying, but what came from the other vendors was solid
I thought the price and timing were good until the book came. The first third is unglued from the spine.
I ordered a copy of a bird identification book that I use almost daily and is no longer in print. It came exactly as described and for a very reasonable price. Imagine my delighted surprise to learn that it was coming from the Goodwill store in my own city.! I have used Alibris before and have always been pleased.
I love your business and have used it several times. It's wonderful to get books that are out of print and to know what to expect retarding the condition they are in. Thank you for your services. I have used them in the past and hope your business will be around for a long time!
Very much appreciate the cart optimization! Thanks very much.
I like the cart optimizer. Would like to delete and correct some items on account; will look some more.
Easy to find what I was looking for in the condition that I wanted. Past experience has always been great too.
I'm nearly always able to find my requested book at Alibris, many times at a better price than anywhere else.
I protest that you made me post this message in ordet to complete my purchase. I think it is a violation of my rights to force me allow you to post these comments. I hope no one comes to your site
A little hard to tell which of the different translation I should get of an ancient classic. Otherwise, the site is pretty good.
Amazing selection, best prices, great sellers. I've never had any problems.
Great selection and prices. Better than every other book-selling website I've purchased from.
