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.

Found what I wanted; entering my info was standard procedure so it was as easy as one would hope.
Alibris gives so many options to choose from and is more helpful than amazon at giving you what you want/need in the price range that fits your budget!
This is a very simple and easy to use website. I saved over half the price of my four books compared to Amazon prices.
The price quoted did not change and my checkout experience was easy and efficient
No technical glitches! At last! Had a lot of trouble for past 6 mos., sometimes just abandoning orders. Someone has fixed something! Thank you!
Thanks for comparing offerings and saving me money!
Very easy to place my order, and this company was the cheapest that I found after doing much research! I'll come back here again,for sure!
I'm new to Alibris. Hoping the pandemic's over so we can both do well!
Tried to buy book listed (by the Bookworm store) and got a "we don't have that book"; take it off so it doesn't show up as available. ANNOYING
Since I can't go to my favorite bookstores, shopping on line is the next best thing, even if my bookshelves are full. Alibris is one of my favorite sites.
I've dealt with Alibris for several years and never had a problem. Thank you.
I've dealt with Alibris for years. It is my go-to site.
I have ordered through Alibris for several years. The ordering process is easy and I like that it offers the choice of either "used" copies or "new" copies; I also appreciate that I can choose the vendor I want.
Sometimes it's difficult to locate the shopping cart on the web page. The shopping cart icon should always be visible.
The shopping cart sometimes disappears from the web page, and it's not easy to locate it.
Overall good experience. However, no gift option to hide the price.
I appreciate seeing the different prices listings and the source of the used books
Very easy and quick and I found what I was looking for right away!
Love Alibris...hate Amazon, Abebooks (sigh) and all of their demon spawn. Thanks for the service!
Fuck Amazon and Abebooks (my former vendor)...Up the Alibris!
You had the book I was looking for - I was hoping for a lower price... Ah.
I can always find what I want on Alibris at an agreeable price.
Great books great service great prices!
As a devoted customer I find the selection great as well as the service.
Really easy. Almost too easy... hoping the VISA part of the transaction is secure.
Simple and easy to complete, like that I do not have to raise a account to complete the order
I tried using the MAY coupon via my cell phone but couldn't see where to apply it so I got my laptop out to finish the transaction.
Site very slow to respond. Advertising email said free shipping. I'm being charged shipping.
It's so great to have one site to search for out-of-print books!
