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.

Easy to find what I wanted from the Google search and quick checkout process at a good price.
I recieved an email indicating a weekend sale, $15 off and free shipping. But that was quite misleading as after spending an hour selecting the books and getting to checkout, the fine print on the "sale" resulting in $2 and full price shipping.
Had everything we needed. Did not like shipping on each item individually, but maybe shipping from different locations, so ok.
All of the books I was looking for I found and at very inexpensive prices. It was easy to checkout and hopefully my books show up quickly and as described.
I've tried other online book stores (even Amazon) but Alibris beats them all in selection and prices...so glad I found them!
Alibris will always be my first choice!
Great service and site! What's worthwhile is worth waiting for.
Shopping was easy and very affordable.I just don't know how fast they can ship.
Alibris has been a great experience since day one of me using this app. I have chosen Alibris for the last 8 years or so.
Wouldn't connect to PayPal yet when I opened PayPal separately it had no problem connecting so I Problem was on your end connecting to their servers. And it was a little sluggish responding after the payment was processed. But I still love your site and you're my first go to when I'm looking for a book old or new.
I love this place! I am an avid collector of biographies and autobiographies and I can nine times out of 10 find what I'm looking for here and it's such reasonable prices. I've yet to be disappointed and I've been using you for years! I recommend you all the time to people that are looking for hard to find books or just looking to find books at fair prices. Keep up the great work you are a truly a benefit in today's world of price gouging.
It was quick and painless. I found exactly what I needed at the price I could afford
Price came out exactly the same as everywhere else. With the coupon code. Why the extra stay to accidentally pay more just knock it down a few bucks. Stil a small amnt of books i want are better priced here and its not even close. Will try to use more.
I've ordered from Alibris several times - always easy with no problems. And I love that Alibris is NOT owned by Amazon!
So easy to use the Alibris website & have never had a problem receiving orders on time and in the condition stated. Thank goodness Alibris has not sold out to Amazon!
Found the title I wanted quickly and at a fair price. Easy website to navigate.
Listings many. Options fir dealers multiple! Good to find them close fir immediate mailing and quick receipt!
It is always easy to find and buy books that I am looking for.
So much easier than another book service I tried to use. Same book, better price. Easier to order.
Thank you!
Quick, easy to use for finding books and for paying.
Very difficult to navigate. Shipping costs are obscene
Alibris is AWESOME! Has been my #1 choice for hard to find titles since the first days of internet book shopping. Always preferred over Amzn, since my very first order found me books for which I'd been scouring used book stores for decades.
