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.

The checkout is really simple and intuitive. Thanks!
Shipping is ridiculous. I had to put the majority of my selections into the wishlist category.
It's fantastic—but I'd love alternate payment systems like Apple pay
Love Alibris, have used it for many many years.
Finding the desired book was quick and easy as was checking out.

Found a book in stock that I could not find anywhere else. Easy check out.
We live in the country and getting books that you want to read is pretty much impossible. I adore book stores and to get to one I have to drive over an hour away. So, Alibris is wonderful for me to find books I want to read on a certain topic that I am interested in, a craft I want to learn more about or cookbook writers that I want to read about and try their recipes. I always get the books and they are as they were described in good condition.
Fast, clear and you had the books I was looking for!...
Could not have been a better experience!
However was surprised that the shipping was more expensive than the items I bought! Thank you
I've been using Alibris for years and am always happy with the selection and pricing. I just wish there was a choice or policy for NO PLASTIC PACKAGING
I have had mostly good experiences with Alibris. My only complaint is that they still use plastic packaging.
It was hard to track because alibrus sells from different vendors. They should be responsible for updating the customer on shipping as most companies communicated poorly
Glad I got it, the price was a bit higher than I'd like. But the quality was good
Easy to order. Books sent in a timely manner. Books are cheap but shipping is costly.
Would like an opinion to continue shopping after viewing in cart
Your company shipped my book in excellent time! Just a couple of days after I ordered it. The postal service had it stalled in St Louis from at least Apr 4th until Apr 12th when I went to my local post office for help. It arrived today, Apr 13th finally. The book is as awesome as I thought and it is in great condition!
I was able to find the book I wanted with ease!
I have done business ess in the past with great success.
This is the only recording of Telemann I've ever been able to stand. The artistic playing reminds me of Zelenka. For finding this on a multichannel SACD at the low price, I couldn't resist buying.
Easy to manage, to find books from the same store, I'm so happy to have found ya'll!
Easy and fast! I bought my book in less than 2 minutes and it arrived earlier than expected!
No problems at all with the order. Review system is a bit annoying though.
The businesses that list on Alibris have been totally dependable. I have ordered over a hundred books and received everyone in a timely manner.
The book stores you list are always reliable.
