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.

Not sure why such high shipping charges when books come from the same vendor!
...
Need to be very clear on book size. Two of my so-called "trade paperbacks" were very little larger than mass-market paperbacks. At my age I can't easily read the fine print of mass-market paperbacks. Other than that everything was fine.
Alibris delivers what it promised to deliver a barely used second hand book
Have used Alibris for so long I can't even remember when I started using them! Always great books,and timely shipping. The shipping prices ave skyrocketed, but that isn't Alibris' fault. I try to get things from the same place to save. Thanks for being a great used book source!
I have made several purchases from Alibris. Good selection / reasonable price / pretty quick delivery.

My favorite book source. Great prices. Great selection. Great service.
Love that most music has good album footnotes!

I love buying CDs this way but sometimes a shopping cart I have piled up just gets deleted.

Best prices for books. Shipping costs could be a little lower.
Good prices. The shipping price sometimes changes when final payment is requested.
Great prices & alternate payment methods.
Alibris makes book buying very easy and I certainly appreciate that.
It has good insights on the accounts of the sailors from the Essex and what they've been through after a bull sperm whale rammed the ship.
Purchase was easy. I have used alibris multiple times

You had the book I needed for book club and my card on file. It was very efficient and the price was wonderful!
My experience in buying two books was satisfactory overall. The books were delivered on time, at very good prices.

Great site to find the item at the right price! I always get my order on time and sometimes it comes early! I look forward to doing business again with them.
