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.

Books are always as advertised and shipped quickly.
I have been using Alibris for years and have never had a problem.
It would have been nice to have not had to pay two separate shipping charges on my add on book order. So I just deleted it and only ordered one book.
I love the selection of old and new CDs, books at ALibris. Great service.
Consistent service and great variety of music and books with good prices too.
Thank you very much for making these gems available - and at very reasonable prices!
I love books and it's easy to order more than one because of the good discounts on used books!
The book I wanted was easy to find and the checkout process was simple. Thank you
This was an easy shopping experience. I found the book I was looking for for a good price, and it arrived quickly.
As the shelf life of good books shorten on the general market, Alibris becomes more and more essential for finding the books I want to read.
Error message saying my promo code "Blossom" had already been used--the codes were new to me. That message did not make me a happy customer.
I've been very happy with almost all of my purchases. For some reason I tend to purchases in Ohio--I do have favorite stores because of inventory, prompt shipping & value. I am a retired Librarian. Books are one of my favorite gifts to select & give.
I'm lost! When I get to the check out, I can't find how many books I've ordered. It was not clear. Then I read that shipping was free, but I was charged a substantial amount and I still don't know how many books I ordered.
Many thanks, Alibris - fir the free shipping offers and always interesting & hard to find art books.
Fabulous selection of art books - thanks, as always!
I'm grateful to know Alibris continues to offer hard-to-find art books at reasonable prices.
Always a pleasure - thanks for continuing to make books available!
I wish there were an easy way to 'View Cart' - there's NO button for this, and for some reason I have great trouble with clicking on the cart and opening it. Otherwise, it's s as Leary's a pleasure to order through Alibris.
Always very good - I've never had a problem with delivery or condition of items ordered. Thanks!
I love alibis! Mostly I purchase art books... Please keep stocking them - thanks!
Great service shipped fast food price good quality
Easy to use and to find books and find a single source to to order multiple books.
I would recommend a way to shop from the same place once you have chosen a book, to reduce added shipping. I needed 4 books, it would have been nice to have an easy way to see if they were all available from the same shop.
I tell ya if you buy books/movies often and its not from here...
YOU'RE DOING YOURSELF & YOUR WALLET A DISSERVICE! JUST TRY IT 😃
Everything about the experience was so effortless. The service is awesome. Quality of products from a few sellers I've used have been great. Proces are better than expected! It's worth it for sure!
I was excited to find a wedsite with discounted items. I was NOT excited to see the cost of shipping. Saddly, I made my purchase and will not return. I despise being lured in under false pretenses.
I was pleased to quickly find the book I was looking for, even though it was published in 2010.
I was pleased to find the CD I was looking for so quickly.
I found the author I was looking for immediately. The detailed synopsis of the books were a great aid in choosing the books I wanted.
It is easy to find a big list of books by my favorite authors on your site.
Alibris is lovely! It keeps the books moving from those that love them to those who are learning how to do so.
Quick, Easy, and exactly what I am looking for!
