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.

Good shopping experience and book choices, but getting coupons did not work well for me.
Fairly easy, I was just getting a book required for my college course. And this store had the book available. This book isn't actually a textbook for this class is a regular book for the class so I couldn't get it at the schools bookstore. Like I said quick easy and all the information available
Dont mind paying for shipping, but dislike that "trackable" shipping is extra. Extra for expedited shipping, certainly, that's reasonable. But trackable shipping is a basic service and should be provided without having to pay for expedited shipping in order to be able to track my package. Otherwise, website is clean and understandable, and PayPal is provided as a checkout option, without which I would not have ordered. Thanks!
Grateful your site has what I need at a very affordable price. Thank you.
Alibris is a great site to buy books from. Never disappointing.
I love Alibris, great selections and quick shipping from their sellers.
I was pleased to find that Alibris does not attempt to censor my book purchasing decisions.
Always have had good services and good prices here!
I love your books because even the used ones are in good shape
Using a coupon was confusing and frustrating. I had to completely restart my order
Easy shopping, they had what I wanted, easy checkout and I am happy! Can't wait to receive my order!

I real enjoy the great prices. I have to watch myself so I don't go overboard.
Always able to find what I'm looking for.
Changing billing/shipping address had to be re-entered multiple times. A real #@$%&* time consuming pain it the@^*.
Very quick and easy to see what i wanted and purchase it.
The shipping address is correct, but the billing address is not. It should be the same as the shipping address: Gary Von Euer, 5718 S. Kenwood Ave., Apt. 1, Chicago, IL *******.
Pleased to find this edition, and for such a low price!
I found what I was looking for, and the format was simple to use.
I was unable to review my order and unable to make corrections. After much search I was able to correct my order. It appeared that shipping was free. Though the shipping rate is reasonable. It appeared free but was not.
The Alibris website surreptitiously signs one into their mailing list rather than having customers opt in. Let the buyer beware!
First time ordering books for a study group and there seem to be no copies available near me.
So far, so good. This is my 1st order. So I can't tell you much more about my opinion yet.
