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.

Always a pleasant experience to shop with Alibris. Very professional service and great quality products!
I enjoy shopping with Alibris. It's easy, they carry a large volume of content, and the pricing is competitive. Thank you, Alibris!
I'm glad to be back. Getting reinstated wasn't too difficult. Keep the books coming...ebooks aren't a complete experience.
One of your sellers owes me a book that was charged for but never shipped.
Your inventory is so vast that finding the sought for book took a little effort but I am confident that I will enjoy the book in the company of my book group.
Easy to set up new account, easy to find a used book at a good price.
None of the coupon codes that should have worked worked
Easy, user friendly site with large book selection
The price was right and they had many selections to choose from.
I love that you are not Amazon. User friendly site is nice. I hope to get a call if anything goes wrong.
All my items are coming from the same seller am I being charged individual shipping rates or single rate for one shipment?
Easy to process. Anxious to receive and start my 15 minute meals with Jamie. Love his show.
I was looking for a specific book and found it on your site, as well as other books I had not yet read and am now glad to be receiving them.
I like how many options are here and all the different places material is sourced from. I would however like to see copyright dates more easily.
Awesome. My children's favorite books for my sister's 1-Year-Old Grandson!
Found Book that was hard to find. I used to read this book to my children and now I want to get it for my great-nephew.
I like that I can take my time while deciding what I want.
I like shopping at Alibris. Missing images and descriptions on some items can be disappointing. But the site is easy to use for the most part.
Your shopping cart could make it easier to keep tabs of our total if it included shipping costs, instead of me having to use a calculator to add in the shipping of each book. You don's see the combined balance until checkout. Also, it was hard for me to change my shipping address to a family member. Once I finally figured out how to add a shipping address, I had to reenter my credit card information. You could have made it easier to select a different address than my own.
I have been looking for this book at an affordable price for ages. I am so pleased that I found it here!
Am a return customer to Alibris. Great company that runs very efficiently. They never disappoint.
