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.

I didn't have much hope of locating a copy of a book published in the UK in the 1970s, but I located and ordered a copy of exactly what I wanted within two minutes!
Shipping at other "used book stores" I have used, charges much less for shipping. First time I am using this site. Don't know if I'll be back.
There were many copies of the book I wished to buy (good), but the one i chose was ''no longer available', so I refreshed the search, but the item was still displayed. Not a problem, as I bought from a different seller.
Book was available and I chose the 1st one on the list
I love ordering from here because the prices are good and shipping is also quick.
Great collection of sellers
Easy to navigate site.
I found just what I was looking for and at a great price. Thank you!
I appreciate being able to find what I was looking for. And my music library will, as well. Thanks.
Shipping cost should be more readily visible so total cost of orders can be compared. Condition of books should also be clearer and more definite.
Easy to navigate. Has all the details you need to find the correct edition, type, price you prefer. ALL GOOD!
There was an advertisement for a $5 off coupon if I signed up for text messages and there was no limitation in the description but when I tried using that code it said I couldn't use it unless I spend $45- not nice.
Straightforward and simple to find what I was looking for.
Didn't like the way the postage changed as the order progressed even though it reconised my country from the begining
Easy to order. Was happy to find my selection. Thank you
I love the book selection. It's very rare I don't fine what I am looking for. The only thing that would make it better would be an option to combine shipping from the same vendor.
I ordered this book and the money was taken out of my account to have you guys tell me it was cancelled. Why take payment before the order was filled. Now I can purchase the higher priced one. Sounds a little fishy. Wow you guys only let the good reviews be published. SMH
Easy to find the book I wanted to buy, easy system to purchase
I love that I can find books that I didn't get long ago, but can find on this site!
Absolutely love Alibris
Easy, quick and always the correct book!
My house burned in March. This makes it easy to buy my favorite movies I lost
I was trying to replace my beloved Snowball books after losing them in a house fire in March.
I've bought lots of books through Alibris. Always easy, never disappointed.
Been buying through Alibris for years. Never been disappointed.
Bought many books through Alibris. Never been disappointed.
This was the first time I had purchased a book on this site so I had to register as a new user and make payment which proved remarkably painless.
