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.

Nice book, great value was very appreciate of book.
Very reasonable. However, the shipping adds to the overall cost.
Books ship quickly, but my last purchase said new and clearly it was not when I received it.
Easy & book rating is accurate. Shipping varies due to vendors.
Good resources with lots of opyions
Any book I'm looking for by using the book name or author I can always find
Having the ability to find a book by author or name is a wonderful convenience
Your website is super easy to use, and the suggestions you make are relevant in terms of my actual search and purchase history. Thank you.
Easy to find the book I wanted, descriptions helpful. It would be great it you always indicated who the translator is, in the case of foreign literatures.
Always love checking out this site when books are not available or too expensive elsewhere
I LOVE Alibris! I can almost always find books I want to read for much more reasonable prices than Amazon or booksellers, including books that have been out of print for a long time. I'm a happy customer.
Good. It was very easy to find the books i needed.
I attempted to buy the ebook for Health Informatics and my order would get refunded as it later says unavailable, however when I go back into Alibris its marked as available.
Great website, shipping is too high, especially for multiple books from the same location.
Web sight so user friendly, can always find what I am looking for at a great price!
Very user friendly lots of great resources!
Great selection a search engine for used books. Ratings always accurate a shipping is prompt considering the speed of the Post Office,
I Love Alibris! Shop here please, you will love it. Don't let the giant Amazon deceive you into thinking your getting a better deal.
Love Alibris. Try them first before Amazon. You'll be glad you did!
Quick and easy. Same price as as sold through amazon, but a portion doesn't go to Amazon so Bezos can avoid paying taxes.
This site had what I needed and made it easy to purchase
Good price, hopefully arrives before my course begins
Easy web site to navigate. Found book quickly with the right condition from the right seller at the right price.
User friendly website with great selection and prices.
Have been happy with all of my transactions since I first started buying here.
Not given opportunity to provide ship to address first (which is to a zero tax state) and payment via pay pal asked for before that so was charged tax; also was not allowed to purchase what I had in cart originally, so paid $3.00 additional as item never came back.
