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 NEVER disappoints! I've ordered for years with only excellent results. The books are exactly as discribed, always in top condition at the best pricing anywhere! Thank you. Alibris for making book reading affordable!
Reliable used book seller. Actual book conditions correspond as described.
Payment app was a little unresponsive, and then it's working fine
Shopping thru Alibris has always been easy and highly satisfactory.
It's clear with all the information one needs to make a good purchase.
Very easy to provide mailing address and payment information. Paying in Canadian dollars is a plus!
The shipping is very bad and expensive. You should ship every order from one area to create a better shipping costs. I am considering another company with better shipping rates.
Easy to find those hard-to-find books — found what I was looking for here.
When it's a book you just have to have and it's hard (or impossible) to find anywhere else, just save yourself some time and go straight here to Alibris!
Easy to search and order. I have used Alibris a number of times over the years to find books that I could find nowhere else. This is truly a one-stop shopping service that is worth its weight in gold, especially when there is that volume that you remember from years ago and no longer have, but now you just have to have it again!
Love shopping with Alibris. However your capcha for verification does not work well for an Iphone. Had to check out as a guest
My previous order somehow wound up going to an older address. :/ I just decided to order the novel again. Elf Defense is worth it.
I love finding all of my old book friends through Alibris! Thank you. :)
Found all the shipping info a bit confusing, however I really like the cart comparison choice. I also love the availability of so many books I wanted. Thank you!
Finding oldie but goodies movies. Thanks for having the hard to find.
Thanks for having the dvd I been looking for. Thanks for having affordable price. Happy customer usa
Shopping is fast and easy. The books are always top notch, even the used books. I can trust Alibris
I like the saver that came up when I was checking out. Big savings.
First estimated at approx $6 CAD for shipping. Actually charged over $15. Happens every time.
It's easy, full of variety and seem to care about us as customers.
I've always loved shopping at Albris. It's easy, quick, and so many choices! Great place to want everything you see.
It's always quick and easy plus the inventory is tremendous!
Very easy to order. Always a good selection of my books.
First time user. Was looking to complete a series.
Love books. There is no bookstores near My house, so Alibris is My happy place.
Good selection of books and price options, easy to maneuver in the website. If possible, perhaps you could add a feature Amazon has of viewing some pages of the book, including copyright date, table of contents, and some pages of, e.g., chapter one, or intro. Also, it would be nice to be able to set up ACH payments as an option.
Alibris is the best! I just wish shipping was cheaper, but I guess you gotta pay the postman!
Always easy to find a book, and super easy to complete the purchase.
Great selection. I wish the shipping charge was a little more reasonable.
You can always count on Alibris to have what you want.
Alibris: Good price and good delivery. The essentials!
