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.

So far, 2 of my orders have been denied. Many days later. Have reordered each time, but have no idea if the books will come. Please check your dealers so they do not give false info to your customers
Professional and accurate. Someone needs to create more of these fabulous puzzles with at least 240 words. I've done all of the books with that, including those with 300 words per puzzle. There are no more….TY
Thank you for making it not too difficult. I've been doing these puzzles for several years. In my research,there are no longer puzzles I have not done that have 300 words per puzzle. Very disappointed. I've done all of them and would like to see more published. TY
Overall, my shopping experience was good, but your system/process for changing credit card info was unclear, awkward, and odious. On the scale of my own experience of updating info this one was pretty poor.
There is a HUGE variety of books that I've been searching for high & low, and I love that I can choose the edition that I'm looking for. Also, it's nice to be able to easily track my shipment.
Thank you for the details about what edition the book actually is and what condition it's determined to be in. I have had absolutely no problems with getting the books I expect to get. Thank you!
Unable to get information about the product from the seller
Normally can always the items I'm looking for and at great prices
I can usually get the hard to find items I'm looking for on Alibris and at a good price.
Quick, easy and just what I was looking for.
This is the best place to purchase books. I have used it for years.
I have used Alibris for many years and the reason is good selection, service, and costs. The perfect online bookstore without pushing agendas!
Shipping costs are a wee bit high, especially when multiple books ship from same seller
Easy. I would like to see an earlier calculation of shipping arrival times before adding credit card info as I was on a time crunch but, straightforward otherwise.
Ordering this book was amazingly simple. Because it offered this book to me I plan to read and use it as soon as it arrives.
Great site here. Have told several friends about it that have ordered from here
Alibris offers great alternative to Amazon for book sourcing
I've ordered from Alibris many years ago. Excellent website. Thanks again!
Great selection but challenging site as it's slow, reticent to "move along" from one page to the next.
I would like a way to order two copies of the same book. I could not figure out a way to do that using the alibris.com website, so I ordered the same book from two different vendors.
I order great books; I receive great books. I feel great about myself for not having sold my child's future to a conglomerate that would happily eat him if it meant profit.
I am always pleased with books I order from you, usually better condition than I expect.
Shopping experience was good, but I'd selected a book from a US seller, then had to renew my login credentials. When I went back to get the book logged in, it was gone and I was compelled to select a UK seller. I don't know if the book was bought by someone else in the 5 minutes it took me to log in or if it's in some ether zone caused by my initial selection. Either way, I won't have my copy in time for the book club.
It is always a pleasure doing business with Alibris. No matter the title, they seem to have it available
I always enjoy finding and ordering books from/through Alibris
