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.

Best place I have ever tried to find used books at great prices and in good condition
I was happy to renew my shopping with Alibris after several years away and very pleased that the experience was just great as it ever was.
Easy to find books and good selection. Great to find older books and non fiction history
Easy to find books and good selection
Found the book I wanted at a great price & it was in a great condition for a used book.
I was able to find exactly the books I was looking for at a reasonable price
All the books I needed to order and at reasonable cost were available via Alibris.
Alibris had the book I was looking for in very good condition, and the price for a hard-bound, used book (published 2019) in that condition was very reasonable.
Excellent service for 20 years! I have used Alibris since I was in graduate school.
1st time shopper. Started on my tablet, had to switch to cell phone cause couldn't find "Shopping Cart" icon on screen. Wish I could shop by seller's name to save on postage when buying multiple items.
Overall, 4/5 says it best ***++++++++**^*^%*%##}}^**##%^*?^%}}%%}#%%
It would be nice if you gave more information about the books: reviews, length, summary, etc.
Shipped quickly. Book was well wrapped and arrived in great shape as described.
Sellers do not keep up with changing inventory making me mistrustful of Alibris, generally.
Shopping was so easy. The shipping took a little longer than expected.
I couldn't say "no" to getting the remaining volumes of a series at such a steal, especially when Alibris has a good reputation for quickness, but I was disappointed that all three volumes were packaged seperately despite being bought from the same location. I wouldn't mind sacrifing some speediness if it meant reducing the packaging waste used for same-location-purchases.
I very much appreciate all the details each book features.
Alibris has the best prices on like new books! Thank you!
So far so good, but I would like to get a teacher's discount for the shipping if possible, would be nice
Very happy with the Alibris checkout and the ease of account creation.
