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.

The uncomplicated layout makes searching & checking out quick & easy.
Every step with alibris is user friendly! Easy to understand and such great selections.
I've now attempted to buy a book three times (from three separate sellers), all of which have been canceled. If this site is unable to fulfill an order because the item is unavailable, why is the item showing up on the site as in-stock?
Always find what I want at a reasonable or better than reasonable price
Always easy to find a book and easy checkout
Easy and informative shopping online with this bookstore.
You are getting me hooked on reading again. Thank you!
I just love Alibris. I do wish there was a way to search for sellers that are actual bookstores, just to support those brick-and-mortars over the clearing houses. I guess it would be pretty difficult to verify. But an indie bookstore program would be nice. They have such high expenses just existing in a storefront. I would have paid an extra $5 if I could have found a comparable volume.
I always love Alibris. I was surprised to find this boxed set, in this condition, for this price.
I generally really enjoy shopping with Alibris. Sometimes I wish there was a filter for booksellers in my home state, so I could shop from places closer to home.
A large selection of new and used books and great discount prices.
User Friendly website. Prices are varied and reasonable.
I was really happy to find a copy of this hard to find in paperback book...and for such a reasonable price. I don't buy digital copies of books- only physical copies because I prefer them, so this made me happy to find a paperback version here that wasn't sky-high priced! Thank you so much!
I was confused with the original order but I used another credit card.
Excellent way to support small local bookstores if you don't have one in your neighborhood.
Very wide variety of choices. Very good prices. Very simple checkout instructions.
Was surprised at how smooth, and quick the transaction happened...and this was me as a guest! Huzzah!
Always a treat to order from this vendor! Bless 'yer mugs!
Please offer a filter by condition, and a 'show total price with shipping' option when looking at books. And thanks, I love your service.
Quickly found book I needed and ordered - no problems.
Finding the book I needed was quick and easy. Love being able to use PayPal for payment!

Thanks for the HUGE selection! So Many books and movies to choose from! Wow!
Great prices on books...but I will admit the shipping cost was more than the three books.
I like your products but your website needs help. It is difficult to just go in and search a specific title you have too many categories and other things on the homepage and how your system clicks back to where you were is very inefficient. I was going to order many more books and shows to only order two and quit. When I would look in the cart to my save for later section every time it would send me all the way back to the top of the order of the cart and I would have to scroll all the way through again down to look at the next item on the save for later section which was really irritating in time consuming for just one example. Thriftbooks, second sale, and Abe books have much better and more efficient systems and I will use them in the future. Thank you and I hope you upgrade to the level of your competitors in a future date
