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'm getting too old for password stuff. You're OK. It's me.
I do not like paperback books. Your site made it possible to find the book I wanted in hardback form
Excellent search function. I appreciate the 12-hour hold when I put something in my cart.
Very easy to find two uncommon spiritual books. Thank you!
I love alibris. It is easy to find the book and also quick to purchase.
The original shipping quoted was for around $5 but the final amount was around $8
I like shopping as a guest and your site is very user friendly for that mode. Thank you!
So far, so good.,will see how the rest of the story ends…when the books magically appear
Shipping is too high, we should get a discount when ordering multiple items all from the same seller
Shopping on Alibris is the greatest advantage, for me, of having the internet.
Glad I could use PayPal. Easy checkout didn't have to join.
As always locating and ordering books on Alibris is easy and productive. I have already recommended Alibris to others.
The items available usually surprise me!
Easy to use; quick to find titles; quick to check out.
Using Alibris is consistently easy and quick! Hardly ever have had an issue. Tony
As always I enjoy shopping at Alibris! Quick finding if something is available and then quick to checkout. Thank you.
Within say, 2 hrs time, I kept losing items in the Cart! Why should that be?
I am concerned that if I receive a wrong dvd AGAIN, that I'll be reimbursed ONLY the item price and NOT its original shipping cost. When a wrong item is sent, the seller should bear the brunt of the cost of shipping ALONG with the item's price.
Trying to stay w/HPB-Movies seller, I keep getting kicked into the general seller population when trying to stay w/i a genre at a time.
How do I retain the desired seller throughout my search for titles to buy? I see no CLEAR mechanism to accomplish this! What am I missing?
Was exciting, confusing, don't need any more of experiences like today's
Fast and easy to find the book I wanted and select one at a good price.
Fast search and purchase, all the information you need to make a buying decision.
Fast and reliable, quickly bought exactly what I wanted!
Fast and easy access to books I want, very good prices
Our favorite place to look for books, music and movies. Organized well and easy to shop.
Website very easy to use. Suggested 'better pricing' at checkout is welcome.
Had a little bit of trouble using my debit card, but was successful in the end.
It was quick and easy to find exactly what I was looking for and at a reasonable price.
Quite satisfied overall. Did have one issue on a previous order. Wrong book sent. Payment supposed to be credited to my account. Perhaps there hasn't been time enough for that yet.
After applying codes and discounts, your website calculated my shipping costs at $6.18 but on checkout the shipping had increased to over $18. That is deceptive practice. As a result I reduced my order from five books to one. I'm not happy.
Painless process to buy a hard to find book. Thank you!
I love Alibris! I can find so many used books that are no longer available, at great prices.
The Order process worked! Unlike several other sites I tried to use.
