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.

Still a fan of Alibris for about a quarter of a century
Thankful to be able to buy so many great books ar such an affordable price. There's a special place in heaven for the people who made this holy site.
Love the selection on the prices, when on a budget that matters.
All the books have come that I've ordered from y'all. So I continue shopping here.
The booksellers I've bought from have reliably advertised and delivered what they promised to. Prices are excellent. It feels good to support "Friends" of various City Libraries.
Books I have bought have been the quality that the seller has advertised. I appreciate not having to buy from AMAZON.
The ordering process was straight forward. Felt Alibris asked for minimal personal information, not asking me to join other services along the way, which I've found elsewhere. Appreciate it!
In the past I've received my books fairly quickly and appreciated the wide selection. However, this time I tried to apply a coupon for free shipping and it didn't take. It's no longer easy to navigate and coupons may as well be a farce. It's FALSE ADVERTISING offering FAKE & UNUSEABLE coupons.
Whaddaya want me to say? It's as if a vending machine wanted a compliment for spitting out a Diet Coke…
Jeez Louise & a bucket a bees. Move along, people: you gots books to sell!
I know this would be a major lift, but I would love it if your results would have an option to have listings show up based on closest seller. It would be environmentally advantageous and lower costs for USPS.
Every book I've ordered from here has come in great condition and arrived quickly!
Am pleased so far with book's availability and prices. Eager to discover delivery times and books conditions.
I've loved Alibris for over 15 years. And I love paying used book prices
You are clear and concise about the books and sellers. I trust how you present these and, overall, I've had very good experiences with the sellers.
It was easy and quick to find what I wanted.
Easy to navigate, great selections from all over, seamless checkout. Thank you! Hope there aren't any shipping issues, will update.
Shipping costs were expensive even when it is being shipped within US. It was more than the item cost. I had to remove some items from the list.
Seamless shopping, selecting, payment & processing! What more could I ask?
Ordering process was straight forward and easy to use.
Only wish more photos would accompany older book descriptions.
Sooth transactions, great prices...thanks
Smooth transactions, reliable service... thanks
Your method of charging me delayed my purchase of a gift by over one week. I had to change my usual credit card to get past that glitch. NO ONE at your end reported that my card was causing the problem. I think you should expedite the order of Dana's Manual of Mineralogy, since it was your programming which was delaying my purchase.
Was not able to apply $5.00 coupon so I won't be getting a credit. Can you help?
