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.

Have ordered from Hippo Books before. Was happy with purchase!
Quick and easy! This was the only website that had the book I needed for my class
Hoping that this ebook will work with my Kindle Fire
Didnt like that a search showed a cheap price but when i searched your site it kept showing me more expensive options
Good but initially I was only seeing much higher prices, until I finally found the more reasonable ones
So delighted to be able to ship my order outside the US! Thanks!
I liked being able to see shipping costs at the bottom of the cart so I could easily see exactly how much I was being charged.
I also love the availability of books. There's so many to choose from, I can't wait for my next order.
I thought I was going to get 5% off from my order, according to the pop up...
Accepted my European billing address without problems, many sites don't.
Found the book at a reasonable price, all my info was saved so it was super easy! Thank-you!
I hadn't used this source and it was difficult to get back on. The price I was charged was considerably more than what was posted on your web page.
Great selection of titles I've been seeking along with multiple options and terrific prices! Just wish there was a free shipping with a certain total, I would have bought a lot more, if so!
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
