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.

I was informed after picking my first book that I needed only a certain amount more to get free shipping. I did not get free shipping when I added more books in that amount. Perhaps the extra amount needed to be at the same bookseller - I don't know. But it was misleading.
You have a new book that apparently is in mint condition.
This site is great. Easy ordering, and I nearly always find what I'm looking for. All previous purchases have been top notch.
This is the best place to find used books at decent prices and the website works very well..
Buy almost all of my books on Alibris. Love recycling pre-read books. Great selection.
I can always find what I'm looking for. Great vendor experiences every time.
Very easy to move around the site and I'm able to find so many great books I thought were lost.
Enjoyed finding many good British mysteries. Haven't been having much luck elsewhere.
I found a very good condition book for an amazing price! The seller is close to where I live, so it should be here quickly. Thanks!
Very easy to use. Lots of books in a wide range of conditions and a range of prices. As well. Glad to see that you accept payments through PayPal.
I would have liked to be able to search for the book with the shipping price included in the search. If you offer that choice, I couldn't find it. I was also dismayed to discover that I have apparently "authorized" one click ordering. I do not like it when an order is placed without my having the chance to put in the credit card of my choosing.
I wish I could filter or at least sort by Seller in order to find multiple titles from the same seller to consolidate and save on shipping costs.
Web site is easy to use, prices fit my budget, and all used books arrive usually in even better condition than I was expecting.
Alibris is so easy for finding books and purchasing them. And they take care of any problems promptly.
Very easy to find the kind of books I want and purchase them
Alibris has always given great service.
Very easy to shop and order. Alibris is my first place to shop.
Outstanding, I can always find books I need to finish my particular author collection.
I am always looking to add to my library. So happy to have found the novels I have been seeking.
Once again, Alibris had the book I needed at a great price!
I do not know what I would do without Alibris - it is the best, by far, of all online book retailers. Alibris ALWAYS has the books I want!
As always, Alibris has the book I want, and the quality and price are excellent!
I rely on Alibris for ALL my book purchases. The sellers are the best in the business and I have never been disappointed in the quality of a book purchased through Alibris.
Alibris never fails to have the books I need!
Only place that had books I was looking for!
Thank you!
So glad to find this CD which is a gift for a friend.
It is very difficult to find the shopping cart. The other problem that I found is that it changes too rapidly from one page to another, even by just passing through with the mouse looking for something else and then it is very difficult to find your way back to where you want to be.
It is very easy to shop. There was only one item I couldn't find: Kids on Stage. The Charade Game for Kids
Never have a problem ordering or receiving orders.
Always my 1st stop shopping. 90% of all of my orders come from Las Vegas as I have had problems with the other 10%.
I have received 4 out the 5 books I ordered, one got lost in the mail. And the delay was way longer than what I expected for the shipping, between 3-4weeks instead of 3-16days advertised. Except these inconvenients everything is good.
The prices are good the site is easy to explore, I will shop again here.
I do my best to combine shipping as much as possible, but I think it's ridiculous that I'm paying more in shipping than the book cost. When I do combine book orders, the shipping costs almost double, which I also think is ridiculous. I have recommended Alibris to many people for the purchase of used books, but Alibris is no longer a good, reasonably priced resource for used books.
Love this site! I have saved so much money and found items long out of print.
I'm so excited to find this book - not available in any of my local libraries!
Big selection and so easy to order.Love your selections!
Fast and Easy Ordering from Alibris! Prices and descriptions are Great!
A++++ Will surely Refer you.
