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.

Sellers have been honest in descriptions, shipping time appropriate.
Books are very easy to find & you can optimize for the lowest price, great interface
Shipping cost are way too high. Ordered 4 books totaling around $8 and shipping is $18. May be my last order.
Strange that my billing address and shipping address was different. I had to go in and re-enter my credit card to the billing and shipping addresses were the same.
Quick and fast today. I don't have time to keep this up.
While I was ordering, the computer added two book I did not order.
I think you should give a discount if you order more than three books from the same store.
Shopping is ok but I believe as loyal customers you should give discounts for people who buy multiple books from the same place. It doesn't leave you with a warm fuzzy to never receive any benefits.
Alibris always has the cheapest options when it comes to manga and light novels. Shipping is always fast and the products are well packaged.
There was a confusing situation where a DVD of "music and lyrics" plus "About A Boy" seemed to have the same UPC code as "music and lyrics" by itself, and the difference didn't show up until it was in the shopping cart.
Your email said free shipping if I ordered more than $39 worth before 1/7...my order included $16+ for shipping. If this is not "bait and switch" what is it?
I inserted a "special" $2 coupon code ("COLLEGE"), but it did not reduce the cost of my purchase when I checked out. My order confirmation # is *******.
Been using Alibris for 15+ years. Always the best source.
Always my go to place for any type book, like hitting 50 bookstores in a morning.
Love the movie selection and prices but the shipping is expensive.
Always have excellent luck finding the books I am looking for on Alibris
Have always found Alibris to be an excellent site for purchasing books both new and old!
I am finding a better selection of more unusual items (Arabic). Also libris is suggesting savings from order/shipping changes. Always appreciated.
Easy checkout system; I like having the numerous individual book prices/condition options to choose from; and MUCH more ethical/affordable to buy from here than brand new from a big name bookstore. Very great
Quick and easy to find the books I was looking for
Good, because I needed to get this book.
Thank you
This has always been my best site to find rare copies.
So very easy. You have the book I was looking for at a very reasonable price. It took all of five minutes at the very most.
It's so easy. I just type in the title and there it is. Check out is quick and easy because you already have all my information.
It was quick and easy! I never give perfect scores until the item arrives.
Love this website, id love to suggest a 'its a gift' option so the price could be hidden or not shown upon arrival. Really love ya'lls set up though!
