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.

Bought several books so far, quality/price/shipping OK
One star off for not shipping all three for one shipping charge
Started shopping on a cheap book, next in series was 4X. Then that sh** about covid and brexit. I will bless you with a rave if it comes in less than 10 days
I am shopping for the lowest price for the book and shipping. Site was easy to navigate and check out.
Alibris is an exceptional shopping experience! Nearly every arcane and overlooked scholarly book I go in search of is found in this grandly "curated" treasure-chest. Alas, Strand bookstore here in NYC is a pale shadow of itself---they've given up a few miles of book shelves to make room for tables that "display" books, most of which are new and easily available everywhere. As Strand goes, so does NYC. Thank the heavens we have Alibris. Keep up the great work! -- R.I.C. Fisher
Magnificent---the greatest bookstore in the world. Even rare, way-out-0f-date books (the best kind) are found here. It is spectacularly Serendip. Shop here or be square!
Very easy to navigate the system; easy to find the books I wanted & then pay for them.
Fast easy and always wonderful to get books for a reasonable price!
Always great, never disappointed... have saved so much money on books for teaching, students and home... one of my go to sites! Love you guys...
Very easy to search and find the book I was looking for.
I told family and friends about this site to order from.
I have not receive one of the last book i order. I hope I don't continue to have a problem with senders shipping product.
I pass on this website to friends. Best prices.
I pass this website on to other people. Prices are great.
Found what I needed easily, ordering was easy and fast.
It's a little tough combining items for a single seller to try to save on shipping
Always find the books I'm looking for and more for great prices at alibris
Great deal on books, but sad that the shipping is too high. I would rather wait much longer on receiving my books for a much lower shipping charge.
Easy to browse through. Great selection of books of every kind.
Always find what I want at a fir price. Best online shopping experience
Easy, reasonably priced and efficient.
Alibris is priced right and dependable.
First time using this site. The shopping experience was super easy. Sure hope my book arrives soon and in good condition.
Its easy for me (a 74 year old with little computer skills) to find the books I want to read.
The $5 coupon code was misleading, requiring a $50 purchase. But you don't see that until you've done the work. I ordered without it, but won't order again.
The website is easy to use. Straightforward and simple. The prices are great and beat almost everywhere else!
Great selection! I am not pleased that I must agree to sharing feedback
Brisk, professional, and thorough - just as it should be.
Great selection, good prices, with reasonable condition info on many books (if sellers provide that, of course).
I'm finding many of the items I want to read at better prices than elsewhere.
Found a better book than I started looking for, and at a better price.
