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 easy to find items and to read information about them.
I like buying from actual bookstores, which I can do on alibris. My problem is that there aren't that many sellers and the books are not that easy to skim as a group. I would prefer that my feedback not be used on public websites.
Found the book I thought I'd never find only because no other bookstore could
I'm so glad I found you! Love buying my used books from Alibris!
Was really quick and easy to order - my first time. Would be 5 stars if shipping estimate had not been way below actual shipping cost.
Found the books I was looking for. They were shipped promptly and very well packaged. The books were in great condition as indicated. I have in fact ordered more books because the seller descriptions were accurate.
Thanks

Alibris feels like a real bookstore and fun to use.
Some items show standard shipping "$4.99" (as expected) under the item details, but when I went to checkout, they changed to a higher shipping cost (8 or 11 $). Would rather not have to guess and check.
It's a little annoying that if you click on an item to see more detail, I can't just go back to the search I'd already done - have to re-search.
But generally good. Glad to have the wishlist option.
I was supposed to get 3% back or $10 on this purchase but didn't.
No encontré los libros que buscaba de la autora Danielle Steel.
We paid more shipping than the books value
Me gusta mucho Alibris, ya que tiene mejores precios que Amazon.
Easy to access titles and easy to make selections.
Easy to review selections and place an order.
Very clear and easy access to book titles and to make purchase. Well done!
I don't like being given the shipping costs so late in the checkout process. It makes it hard to estimate my final cost.
I almost always find the book I want here, even the most obscure.
I'm finding all the books I want - some from 30+ years ago. It's my go-to bookstore.
Love being able to find repurposed books for myself and to send to friends. When i read a great book, many times I will send it to a friend to share my enjoyment
Love buying old cook books on this site. Ususally in very good shape
Love finding books at a discounted rate and pass them onto others.
First time dealing w/ y'all; if this works well, it won't be the last
Quick check out and had the book I needed at the best price
I found what I was looking for and the condition of the various book choices was readily available, as was information about the sellers.
The website quickly allowed me to find the book I wanted with the desired condition and price.
Alibris ecommerce always functions well. Fast and easy to choose and pay.
Found what I wanted, and it was easy to buy.
