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.

I've always tried to order from Alibris, mainly because it's not Amazon. Also, they have proved to be a solid book reseller and have what I'm looking for most of the time.
I've been enjoying shopping Alibris for nearly 20 years. It's my first choice for buying books online. Don't ever change your business model Alibris.
I have been buying books from Alibris for about 15 years. It will always be my first go-to when buying books. Thanks Alibris.
It was easy to place the order, and I was very happy with the product and turnaround time. Even though it was a used book, it was a former library book, and in almost mint condition.
I found Alibris completely by accident, and I am definitely returning. With a vast collection of content, I was able to find what I was looking for at a cheaper price than every other service I've used. The product I bought came in great condition, and I couldn't be happier.

Great great ill do this again and then tell all my friends!
I've been an Alibris customer for over 10 years. I've always been pleased with the condition assessments and prices. I've kinda come to think used book dealers are more honest than they are dishonest. It's a shame fewer people desire paper books as opposed to digital books, generation gaps exist... I'm doing my part to preserve the heritage rolled up in paper books!
I love ordering directly from Alibris, their prices are fair and the books always arrive in perfect condition.
I ordered a hard out of print bluray called "Just before dawn " The price was great, and the bluray in very good condition. Shipping was fast and secure. AAA shopping experience.
Karen, this was pretty easy. Hopefully will get my DVD soon. Thanks.
Always easy to find great books in excellent shape and incredibly inexpensive.
Alibris always saves me money on excellent books and DVD's.
To be able to order from 4 different sources all on one order is very convenient
I easily found what I was looking for and the whole checkout process was very easy.
I had saved Karen Stohr's Choosing freedom, which your site did not save. I was disappointed.
My first time purchasing through your company. I was very pleased with the book I received.
Thank you. The delivery time was a little slow, but I'm patient.
Thank you for not insisting that I create an account.
Kept trying to reset my password (4 times), followed instructions. Got an email that was empty except a little "contact us" link that worked but did not take me to reset. So I checked out as a guest.
Also it was unclear to me whether I had submitted delivery address or billing address when I did not select "same"
The special offers distracted me for a bit. I decided to complete the order by my old familiar methofs.
You have a wide variety of titles and your site works really well.
