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.

These are very unusual and in one case, very old books that are for a gift. Couldn't believe I actually found both. Fabulous!
I really enjoy the accuracy of the site. Book covers are usually accurate, and so is book condition. I just wish gift options were available.
Excellent selection and appreciate the coupon savings.
Love finding some of my favorite British writers here, especially in the gardening and nature writing category.
Outstanding collection and choices. Easy to navigate website. Superb packaging and shipping.
Really difficult to change the billing address. Really difficult to submit this feedback.
You had just what I needed for great prices! Thanks!
Why should shipping for a 2nd book be almost as much as first book - they're the same title/style (paperback).
Wish shipping could be calculated as I shop!
Wish I did NOT have to agree to allow my feedback to be posted to various public websites - appears you don't care about feedback unless you can monetize it! Dropped my "recommend to a friend" score from 6 tp 4 as a result!
With very rare exception, Alibris is the only place I buy my books.
Albris makes it easy to find a selection and then to determine if the selection will fit into my budget. Their customer service, which I've had to use very sparingly, should be a model for customer service managers everywhere. They are that good.
Alibris always does well and I brag on them to other readers.
As always, I enjoy the books and the savings.
I would like to have a better idea as when to expect the book; 4-16 days is a very large range
Alibris makes it easy to find and purchase books. Thank you!
It's my first time. Site is easy to use. I'll be shopping here more often.
I love Alibris - so many options. You can literally find any book, current or rare here.
I love Alibris! I've bought many books over the years that have been difficult to find or more expensive from other sources.
It's so easy to find used books and choose a copy of something based on condition and price.
I was not able to put My Code in for the discount! Please cancel My Order. I will go elsewhere from now on.
I enjoy the huge great Supply and wide range of Books. Always Good Quality and wonderful reads.
I once worked for Borders for 5 years and used Alris often to buy hard to find books for customers. I'm happy to be using it again for personal use.
I found everything I was looking for, and great prices.
I read about this purchase on Facebook, but did not realize it was a current release. I am so glad to have found it so quickly.
I found my shopping list at Pocket and immediately came to Alibris. I was very pleased at how quickly I was able to find everything on the list. Thank you.
Quick and easy process, offering reasonable choices.
I have sincerely enjoyed my experiences with alibris, for almost a decade. You have a format and process that makes the experience of book hunting a joy.
It was easy to find what I wanted. The only thing I didn't find was an expected delivery date
Feeling conflicted about shipping fees. Understandable though
First time placing an order. I saved a ton of money. Now I'm just waiting for my books!¡!
Love to be able to gain knowledge with printed word at an affordable price
