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.

Absolutely my go-to online book store. My only complaint is that the wishlist isn't mobile-optimized.
I wish the mobile site had the same sorting and filtering options as the desktop version, but otherwise - best online used bookstore in the world!
Easy to use. Pleasant people at the bookstores with careful packaging.
Great selections, prices, and fast shipping as always.
I have done business with Albris and trust them.
Seller's description was helpful-saved me from having to call for details.
Albibris had the book I wanted, and the ordering process was painless for a novice computer person.

Fast and easy checkout.I am a bookworm and thanks to your company I have a good selection.
So happy to have found a used book by my favorite author
Thank you for having whatever I was looking for!
Let's get those 'combined shipping' costs down a bit!
I have enjoyed shopping Alibris for many years. Keep up the good work... bring down the shipping costs. :]
Easy to find the book wanted. Difficult to find whether the seller is the same when name is almost the same.
Many choices, too bad the shipping costs so much more than the books
I have used you for years, and never had a bad experience. Thank you!
I love being able to find the books I am looking for here, and at great prices.
It's always fast and secure. Lowest price for the best quality!
Saved $50 compared to price in local antique store.
I found what I needed at a reasonable price but the condition was worse than stated, however it is usable.
It's been a very good experience to buy at Alibris. The items I buy come in very good condition.
It's easy to find what I'm looking for and order it.
Alibris has an easy to use interface and great search abilities.
Dependability is so important to me, as I am ordering from Germany. I've been using Alibris for years. Love its independence and empowerment of small, independent sellers! Thank you, Alibris!
I wish I had a clearer menu-choice of UK vs. US sources on EN books. (Not to mention preferred *EU* dealers...)
Met expectations well: Accurately described, well packaged with care, and promptly shipped by the seller.
You guys are great. I can find the books I want and your service is Excellent!
Always find what I'm looking for for a good rate. And it's not from the giant conglomerate! Yay!
I like this site as it has a vast reach for so many titles & the Optimized Cart option is great! Saved me a lot of money in the end!
One of my books didn't come with the cover. On the description it said the product might have some usage wear but it did not say it did not come with the cover.
I'm still reading, but so far I'm finding it an interesting read--an innovative contrast of historical periods and different personalities and intellects.
