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 sad that audio CDs are no longer created for newer books. Shipping prices are getting to be too much.
I cannot remember passwords to save my life. When I do, if I fat finger, I get locked out.Thanks for letting me sign in as a guest.
The State populates with my state's name written out and your interface wants it in a two letter code. Had to go back and redo the whole thing because state wasn't recognized. Just take it the way it populates.
Trying to ensure my order was for large print proved a little aggravating
Was able to find the book I was looking for, and the transaction was quick and easy!
Thank you
Today's was fine. But I ordered this same book two days ago from another seller and the order was cancelled today.
I love buying books on Alibris. So many good choices and good prices!
I read this excellent but short novels in about 2 days each so I'm glad to find used copies! Thank you. Julie
Glad to find this gift for my husband
Nice to find books, especially the low price used ones.
You had the book I wanted and the order process was fast and easy.
Had difficulty finding the series number I sought; otherwise, fine.
Very accessible, with good descriptions of products by dealers.
Two books from the '90s appear immediately with very low prices.
The front page says save $15 this weekend--that never surfaces again. Then I can sign up for $5 off my order--where do I get that? Managing all these bookstores must be a nightmare--don't complicate things further by having customer offers that disappear once s/he begins ordering.
Wanted book found quickly at a great price and ordering was easy.
Finding particularly wanted books or DVD's at Alibris often at very affordable prices is a continuing enjoyment.
New customer, received a book today, not as described, processed a return, return was easy, will avoid this seller.
Trying to enter a different billing address and shipping address was cumbersome...perhaps it could be easier? Or did i miss something?
I am a long-time fan and have bought tons of books on your site; it is one of my favorites.
Good search process but could not go back to order another book once I got to check out page. Had to reopen application in another window
I've tried browsing three other sites today and my selections weren't in their inventory. I found too many titles I want in this site! I will return!
After your system recommended a chipper option, you cancel my order. Obviously, the system was wrong. I had to reorder. I'm little disappointed.
Simple and smoothly shopping experience
All the books I've purchased arrive in a timely fashion in fine condition. Thanks for all.
All satisfaction is high. Great service. Great selection.
When I signed in, my cart emptied and I could not recall the 3rd title I had selected. I also found I was unable to easily moved back from the cart to continue shopping.
