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 shopping experience is always good. Items are easy to look up, of course far less expensive, depending on the individual's druthers, and fast to check out.
Loved this bookstore. I feel as if I'm browsing down the aisles. Quick checkout with many, many options of books to choose. You're at the perfect place.
A little difficult to maneuver
In order to get Icee, do I need to contact the seller? Unclear on that.
Very easy to order and shape into exactly what one wants.
It's always my first stop when searching for a book for myself or as a gift for friends, never disappointed, thank you for your great service!
All of my last packages been ordered has came in good shape and on time
Gave me suggestions on other DVDs that I might be interested in which is great because I needed them
It was very easy to navigate. Place my order in and all the information that was needed
Thank you for having a book that is impossible to find!
The site is easy to use, and I can generally find what I'm looking for at an excellent price. I like the fact that I'm supporting small booksellers and shops.
My personnel first world problem is eyesight. The white backround and light lettering are hard for these old eyes. Too much reading, I guess.
Found exactly what I was looking for after trying to deal with that A company.
Thank you!
Easy search & find. Love the many available resources to choose from.
The key component in online used book shopping is the accuracy of information provided by the individual booksellers. While this is difficult for Alibris to control, it remains the most critical component.
Alibris often beats Biblio and Abe on price and quality.
Great finding the exact edition of the book I was looking for
Easy to search, easy to purchase. Many versions to choose from. My first choice for out-of-print books.
I wish you had the other book I wanted but maybe next time.
Condition of books by 80% of sellers is a "canned" explanation offering no condition explanation at all.
This often makes me not order a book that I would like to purchase.
First time. Shipping seems high. Shipping was 5 times the cost of my order.
It seems that books shipped from the same seller should have a better shipping rate than $3.49 for EACH book. I chose books from the same seller in Dallas, and still got charged for EACH book.
I've ordered from this site before and am happy with the books I received. It's a good place to buy used books at a bargain with shipping fees that don't break the bank.
Good availability of books and versions. Somewhat difficult to figure out what shipping pricing options are available.
It has always been an easy shopping experience purchasing my books on Alibris. Thank You!
Most of the time, I find exactly what I am looking for and in pretty good condition.

Alibris is becoming the hole in my pocket - I CANNOT stay off of here!
I always check Alibris first - the selection and prices are unbeatable.
I usually find what I'm looking for, at a reasonable price, at Alibris.
I love Alibris - you always have the books I am looking for at fair prices.
I love shopping at Alibris - amazing selection of books, plus I like knowing I am supporting smaller book sellers.
Really awesome shopping experience I can't wait to receive my book!
