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.

Well done website. I like that I can pay by paypal
You almost always have something I purchase. You need to add PayPal as a payment method, though.
The process is very clear and efficient. Well organised and a pleasure to shop this way.
The entire process was Good, Clear and Efficient. However, the Shipping cost initially advertised changed to 400% upon payment. Not the tastiest option...
I am a homeschool mom and your books are reasonable and come pretty quick.
I love your site, especially because it's not the big A.
Easy to order. First time. Will see how shipping goes.
Could not change billing address to the correct. Finally card co. Changed card to the P.O. Box address instead of street address?
This was a book I probably would not have found anywhere else and at a great price.
You have a lot of good items that might be hard to find and a good price. Website, I had trouble navigating it.
Would not accept my American Express card due to three number code!
Sneaky website.
I don't like spam, please be more honest.
Easy to find what I wanted, good selection, website makes sense
Alibis is a very dependable friend of book lovers!
I love alibris as a source for seriously good out of print books and I recommend it to all my friends
I buy all my textbooks through Alibris. The prices cannot be beat and the quality is excellent.
Al order save shipped in a timely manner. Obviously, this order has not yet shipped, so I cannnot make any comment on it.
I was disappointed to learn that, even if you bought several books from a single source, the shipping was still cumulative (4.99+4.99+4.99). Also after adding 6 books to my cart, when checking out, my cart was EMPTY. 3 TIMES I TRIED, SAME RESULT. I finally opted for 1 book to purchase and will look for a different process.
Thank you! I love Alibris as an Amazon alternative.
I like the options available to get the books form multiple locations
Great place to find quality used books on various topics.
Very easy to locate the 2 cookbooks I was interested in.
Easy to use website for the books I was interested in finding.
Hard to tell if you are getting one dvd or the full season
