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.

The book selection is excellent but the shipping is outrageous when I ordered all the books from the same seller. And book shipping is cheaper than regular mail.
Love your platform. Makes shopping so easy. I can find whatever book I am searching for. Thanks Alibris!
Easy to sort my choices. Easy to see before Christmas shipping.
So easy to use and such a massive database of books!
Good selections, reliable service, and books conditions have consistently been as rated. This applies to all those associate shippers too.
A good flexible interface. I opened another window to the same site while in the checking out process, which sometimes messes up things, yet everything went on smoothly.
Always able to find the "hard to find" textbooks! Great prices! Thanks!
Your check out process changes the shipping
And it's more than what's listed when placing items in cart
That's not cool
Lot's of choices! Shipping is expensive for books!
My shopping experience at Alibris has been my favorite place to shop for books for years, always have what I'm looking for and a breeze to check out.
Good selection of book sellers,
Difficult navigation. When I wanted to add more books I had to enter my info all over again to get to billing. Not good.
And I was informed I could get free shipping if I had another purchase, but that disappeared! Again, Not good.
Very efficient website. I'm looking forward to receiving my book.
There should be an easy way to adjust shipping costs for numerous items from one seller.
Checked PayPal for payment, provided info requested, and could not pay. Had to re-order with VISA.
PayPal is very easy on other sites.
Very helpful website. The books I am looking for at very good prices.
Alibris has the books I want at very reasonable prices. Web site is very easy to use.
I find the Alibris website very easy to use. I shop for books that appeal to a very narrow audience. Alibris helps me find the books I want at very favorable price and shipping cost.
Alfred Trevino & I use this site to buy most of our books and some dvds. It is very easy to use for older people.
Used to use Alibris a lot years ago, first time back in quite awhile.
Okay so far, but the postage was a bit of a jolt, I admit.
So far, so good: the book is on its way. My bookseller will be surprised.
I love Alibris for many years. I can always find what I'm looking for here.
Good but when I had to do the whole update password procedure it emptied my shopping cart and I had to start over.
There was no place to indicate to recipient of the book that it is a gift from me.
