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.

Excellent as usual! There is no better way to buy books!
For the most part easy to find books and order them.
Easy to use but the shipping costs are 200%+ the cost of the books that could be corrected some for optimal shopping experience. Also coupons are deceiving as the book cost must match minimum guidelines in order to use the coupon but shipping cost are the majority of the order and don't apply to the requirement so the. Pupils end up not being usable if you aren't spending a lot on the website.
First time shopping on this site. It proved to be fairly easy. I found a DVD that I couldn't find anywhere else.
Alibris is wonderful. So grateful for everything I've ever bought through here.
I've appreciated Alibris for many years. I've always been satisfied with the books and always found what I was looking for
Alibris makes reading easy--at least getting started reading!
Want to make sure no signature is required when shipping to my PO Box, as I am out of town for two months.
I want to pay less shipping. I have a feeling that I am going like my book purchase though. Over all a good experience. Thanks.
Still a weak search function but seems easier than in the recent past
Alibris has been my go-to online store for used books. Not only can I find books I need for book clubs, but other books I've seen in photos, magazines, etc.
Hurray! Found just what I was looking for, both books I wanted.
I love Alibris. Sometimes I browse, but more often I'm looking for a specific book and find just what I want. I've always been pleased with my purchases.
Just the book I wanted, many copies to choose from. I went with a "Friends of the Library" group.
I have never had an issue with orders from Alibris, and I have ordered many times. Books are always high-quality.
Satisfying. But we hope Alibris can provide a faster shipment option, not just a standard one.
Nice but I hope the shipping time could be faster
Paying shipping is a hassle-have to be really careful to buy from the same shipper or shipping charges can be huge and can't see that until checking out.
It's difficult to order several used books to then find out they come from several different places so shipping can be huge.
I like to shop here-usually find what I want.
OK but coupon discount was not applied in final charge.
Your ordering site has a life of its own - very fickle.
I am happy to find two books I have been looking for and be able to have them sent to me together.
Need to be able to see the shipping cost broken out by item in the shopping cart. Also we need to be able to edit the cart in a way to play with the costs.
Had the item I wanted and very easy to order. Thanks so much!
Alibris is excellent. It is where I go when I text books or other movies or books.
I love you have what my teachers ask for to buy.
Love to purchase my text books from Alibris.
Always get my text books here. Excellent service.
Easy website to navigate. I belong to a bookclub that meets every 4 weeks to discuss our book. I wish estimated delivery time were available before completing purchase.
The only problem is I find too much to interest me.
