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.

Great prices for products now longer available most places :)
Excited to find these books for my art students at good prices Thankyou
Easy,with excellent instructions. Thank you for making it
So simple to follow.
Real humans respond promptly and intelligently to emails/messages. WOW! I love it!
I wanted to purchase two of the same book, very frustrating. Some people have friends that they wish gift a book.
You had just the book I was looking for and the ordering process was a breeze!
Good, but you need to include the title of book being purchased WITH the address and billing information.
Easy and fast. Had just what I was looking for and much cheaper than expected!
Everything is clear. I like the uncluttered aspect of your pages.
What I wanted was available at a fair price and the checkout process was easy and smooth
Canadian shipping is expensive! But you have the book I want, so…
Should be able to edit shipping when it first show up
Cant figure out how to delete all the old addresses and credit cards.
Very sad I never got my two books from Book Outlet that I'd ordered on Jan 20. They claim they were delivered but I never received them. I did get 4 of the 6 books I'd ordered from them but don't know how to resolve the matter. I don't want to pay twice. Amazon seems like a more secure way to get things these days.
Smooth, easy and will be back for more books. Thank you.
Easier than some places I've went to place an order.
Alibris shines as a valuable resource for book enthusiasts seeking an extensive selection and the charm of independent booksellers. While some minor improvements could enhance the overall experience, it remains a top contender in the online book marketplace. For those in search of unique and hard-to-find titles, Alibris is a reliable and rewarding choice.
I found a book and then signed in after. It did not leave the book in my shopping cart, and then when I was signed in it was not available again until the next day. Otherwise the experience was easy!
Enjoy Alibris shopping. I appreciate the honor of recycling! But hard on my 74 year old pocketbook to incorporate an almost equal payment for shipping!
All the best Francie
You are small enough to appear trustworthy and large enough to weather the onslaught of Amazon's hyper capitalistic regard for the needs and dignity of its workers.
My son in law is dying. He has 2 little boys, is a musician, writer, philosopher and carpenterk. We are broken hearted. I pray this book will heal the divide between his life and death.
I am glad to find so many choices and with good purchase options. The one concern is the shipping cost….while I understand inflation, it's perhaps going to be a hindrance at some point.
I like the wish list, easy to add books that I want to read
I wanted this book new for my grandson. Alibris has always been a reliable source and check out was quick and easy.
