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.

One of my top choices for hard to find books at reasonable prices.
Always a great choice for those hard to find items that are so expensive on other sites.
The shipping cost was almost half again the cost of the book. Not good.
It was fine. It's a store. Offered options. I chose. Now it is making me write this stupid review.
Best price for exactly what I needed. As described. Quick shipping. Will recommend and shop again and again.

Easy to order site. Always timely delivery and reliable quality.
Love buying books thru Alibris! It's timely, the used books are of good quality and the assortment is exceptional.
Description said book was in very good condition. It wasn't—banged up on all sides, whole book was curved. For a few more dollars I could've purchased a new copy. Would be generous to describe the condition as fair.
I hope you don't send any email other than my book order, and why are you making me type more than 50 characters. We are busy.
