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.

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.
Although I had put in my address as the UK, the shipping costs showed only a third of the final cost at the checkout. If my address is UK, shipping costs should be apparent from the start.
Hi, you sent me a$15 coupon but it didn't apply on my order?
Back-and-forth juggling between finding/selecting books was tricky. There appeared to be no option for adding books once I got to the "Order" page.
Alibris is the best. Great selection, excellent service, reasonably priced, and best of all, your $ goes to indie booksellers, not to Bezos, et al.
The site provides the information I need and nothing more.
I like the variety of prices. I think I got a bargain.
The multiple purchase options and value are great.
Quick view of all book types offered and their prices. As a devourer of books on e again in my life, I appreciate that so I can look for my next few.
I love to buy books in Alibris I can find new hard cover and the ones that are used they are always in good condition they are also mail very fast.
Good Price, easy ordering. However, I shouldn't have to agree to have my comments made public in order to place my order. That is why I gave 3 stars only. Prior to getting to this requirement I had given 5 stars and a most likely recommendation.
I found what I was looking for immediately and checkout was a breeze!
Found multiple selections for all of the titles I researched.
Easy to find a book at a relatively close book seller.
Seems pretty good! I like the idea of recycling books once they have been read.
A great concept in todays economy. Thanks!
