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.

A bit confusing, but I believe so far so good. Hope to be a regular customer with Alibris.
Good. Wish some of my information didn't have to be typed in each time.
Quick, easy, love that Alibris is independent and not Amazon, etc.
I love Alibris. I tell everyone about the site because of the unbeatable prices
Your website makes shopping incredibly simple: the items items are to locate; and I was able to select the one that best suits my needs (condition, price). The check-out process was equally simple.
Every item from every vendor I've ordered from has arrived promptly; were well-packed; and were just as as the vendor described in the online catalogue.
Shipping needs to be seen before getting to check out.
I wish shipping showed up before you get to check out.
So easy! (And my Capital One card will autmatically use my cash back points through PayPal when I pay.) I can't wait to read this book.
Very good shopping easy and explained well about condition of items
I really appreciate the ability to easily go to my cart and see the arrival estimate and the ability to easily remove an item from my cart if needed.
Always find what I want although can't always afford what I want!
Truck icon did not indicate only some books available had free shipping! It looked as though the title, from whatever source, would have free shipping.
Once the confusion on my part was sorted out, fast and easy.
Always great! So many search features make it easy to find almost anything.
Alibris is very easy to use, with very specific search options that make finding what you're after even easier.
I regret that my $20 coupon expired 4 days ago. I would have bought more books!
Very slow and expensive and not good condition books
Second time I have bought book from Alibris. First purchase was fulfilled just as expected.
It was a run around to change my shipping address. I almost gave up and did not order the book.
Love that everything I wanted I found and at a great price... Now just waiting to see if what I bought lives up to the quality as advertised...
I'm always able to find interesting things at great prices and in good condition.
The site is easy to navigate, great selection of titles and sources
Always a pleasure to find the books that I need on Alibris.
Exceptionally easy search interface.
