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.

Alibris has a huge selection. I found what I was hunting for at a really good price.
The book arrived as described in like new condition. It will make a great gift.
Book recommended by Daughter, and she is very bright and never fails.
Alibris has been a good to for ordering books for me for many years. Great website!
The shipping cost is outrageous. Not sure why.
Besides that, all good.
Had trouble ordering... had to start over as could not order as a guest
Was not able to use coupon code for the 4 DVDs I ordered. The code for $2 off was ICE.
Amazing selection and prices. Love the function that lowers the cost of my cart by searching for items at the same location.
Charging $5 per book shipping is excessive in US.
2 books should ship for $5 not $10
Alibris is superb for my books needs … great prices and ease of online purchases
Extremely user friendly… zip zap and your order is wrapped up
Fair price, prompt shipping, overall a great experience. Thank you.
I had been searching for this book for a very long time. I bought it when it was published back in the 1970s, but over several moves I somehow lost it. I have tried to replace it for a long time however I was unable to find another copy and then a few years ago I found it but the price was extremely high. I was so happy to find it on your website at a reasonable price. Thank you, thank you!
Quick, easy, found the book I was looking for and at a great price!
Easy and quick. Better price, including shipping than Amazon! Always happy to support a small (smaller than Amazon) business
I appreciate buying used books at such great prices and I'm willing to wait a few days to receive books that are usually "like new".
I can usually find the books I need here and can't find anywhere else!
I'm very happy with my purchase. I will be using this site to order textbooks in the future.
It was very easy and clear direction on how to order. Thank you.
Very pleasant, easy to navigate. I will most definitely order again from this company.
I appreciate the ability to search multiple vendor sites as this allows me to find a reasonable price. The books I am putting together as my library are not as common and harder to find.
Always happy with my orders. Books are priced reasonably, large selection, shipping hasn't been a problem time wise, and the website is easy to navigate.
The app is easy to use and gives you a lot of choices of books at various prices to choose from. I usually use this site when I am looking for a series of books. Prices are reasonable, choices are many, and shipping is usually pretty reasonable. Definately recommend this site to find quality used and new books.
Easy. I found exactly what I was looking for at a very good price.
You are the best source I have found for out of print books at a very reasonable price. Every book I've received from you over the years has been in good condition and priced so low it sometimes surprises me.
