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.

Just what I wanted to have in the middle of the night
Would like better pricing on shipping from same seller
Just wish shipping were less, especially if I order from same single seller

Very smooth transaction. Pennies cheaper than going through my school bookstore for a guaranteed new book compared to a used book. Happy so far.
Website very slow. Received an error message 3 times when trying to check out that the site was slow and I should try again later.
Great prices initially, but the shipping cost was a bit disappointing.
Love this site, I can usually find what I'm looking for at an affordable price.

Love this site, better prices than Thriftbooks on most occasions, thank you!
I have always enjoyed this site it's been awhile since I visited though. I anticipate the same excellent service.
The shipping was way more than the purchased items.
Alibris almost always has the books I'm looking for. Great prices and the ones I order are always in great shape. Good and accurate descriptions from the sellers.
No hassles easy way to find and order a wanted volume
I found the book I was looking for right away, bought it, and, it was quite easy.
It would be better if this site had live chat to clear up any confusion and doubts
No hidden info and always an abundance of titles to choose from!
Easy to use, great selection and price points for different editions and book conditions, fair shipping arrangements
Finally found the book I was looking for at a lower price than other vendors.
Shipping is always too much relative to book cost.
It took me a little while to navigate to the site where I made a purchase. The selection and payment part was easy
Have a hard to find book at a semi reasonable price
Easy and fast. I found the used books I wanted immediately.
It is always very easy to find what I am looking for and the Alibris site is easy to use.
Since used book stores have vanished, Alibris is a great resource.
I had to sign in several times in order to update my address, then log in a couple of times to place the order.
Clear and easy and I appreciate the reminders of the cart expiring.
So far it was super easy to order and shipping price wasn't that bad. Shipping says 3-5 business days. We will see how that goes and its condition.
