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.

Very helpful information and selections. Much better than most other sites I browse for cheap but quality selections in books.
I appreciate being able to sort on my preferred type of book - the hardcover
Shopping always great, but shipping getting expensive
Too easy to put down multiple copies of same at diff. Prices and sellers. Almost double bought. Otherwise easy to use.
Good selection available. Clear online directions for placing order.
Good information about condition, seller and location.
It is easy to find the book and the checking out takes little time.
Pretty good, though I had to use a desktop computer browser, rather than a mobil device because your graphics are all messed up on mobil, fyi;-)
I bought a pdf. Why are you making me wait before i get access to it
Always yow gave me a good and quick information, but this time you did not alert me a fetch book email. Is it on purpose or a mistake?
Wonderful site site. Will be back. Probably often.
I find books that appeal to me in retail shops throughout my day, but the price is foreboding. I come home, look them up on Alibris and order them for a fraction of the retail price. Thank-you for a win-win
Like u used book store I grew up visiting. But without getting up from your chair.
Easy, no problems encountered. Also had access to coupons which was nice.
Feel like it is hard to use from phone, better to use laptop
I tried to use my mobile phone to make the purchase but it would not allow it. No messages were provided but kept asking for a different credit card.
It's super easy to find great books on alibris and the discounted prices are amazing. And I love the idea of supporting bookstores that may not necessarily be big box stores.
I like the way Albris explains details about the books they sell, the messages were very clear and detailed.
Very good experience, I had no problems, made my selection and was done shopping. Thanks
This site was recommended by an expert bookseller@ Letterpress Books, Maine. Love it! Easy to use!
I have purchased many books from Alibris and I have never been disappointed. Great company.
Affordable for the most part, hoping my book will deliver okay
All the book stores I have ordered from through your site have been wonderful and provides great products
