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.

My only problem with Alibris is that when you order more than one book you pay multiple shipping. I would love to be able to have a single supplier for multiple book orders.
I love Alibris. I always find the books I'm looking for in great condition at a great price.
Clear as well as simple (not complex) directions. They did what they said they would do. The company exhibited integrity by doing what they said they would do.
I buy most of my books from you. Only one problem in all the years I have received books. You are my first to go to.Thank You.
I buy most of my books from Alibris
Terrific sellers! They were very responsive, and answered additional questions I had about the listed item without delay or hesitate. Even seeing photographs, the condition of the book exceeded my expectations.
Great ease of use finding book titles, and with ordering. I received this book in excellent condition. The poetry accompanied by photographs is stunningly beautiful.
We have been very pleased that we've had the ability to select between several providers, who have all given us significant cost savings compared to the on-premise bookstores, and we've always been able to find a quality used version of the required books. Shipping has been affordable and items have always been received in a timely manner.
It's awesome to have non-Amazon options!
Good selection of books, reasonable prices. Shipping is too costly.
I can always depend on the top rated book stores to ship books on time and to represent used books correctly. I also appreciate Alibris' user friendly interface!
I reached out to get more information on a book and received a super quick response!
Books were in very good condition, and relatively fast shipping
My go-to choice to buy books! Reliable and affordable!
No image for book cover, had to use two CC to get it to take one
Smooth process of shopping. I received my book order in a timely manner. Thank you
Books are always a great price and in good condition.
Shopping on this site has been very easy and quick.
Buying was easy. Package arrived quickly and was well wrapped. Seller obviously cares about customer service and the value of their products. Obviously, a book lover!
Alibris has an excellent selection of both new and used books and CDs
Greatfulllll would like to know ahead of time if book has scent to it though :)
I had some issues that were TOTALLY self created - forgot to change the "ship to" address - it might be nice to have a DEFAULT address that it goes to first? Then you have to change it to go somewhere else - may help others too - sorry for any inconvenience I have caused!
I love the filter options and the ability to see the best deals and free shipping
