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.

It took me a while to find the books at the price I needed, but there is an ample selection.
I was offered a $5.00 coupon for first order but was unable to claim. I followed instructions on getting my coupon code but all I saw was three codes, each tied to new purchases. This is wrong advertising. I am disappointed.
I wish you had an ap rather than a link. Good price, can't wait to see if delivery is as good
So easy--you make me want to donate my library to you all
Great prices, accurate descriptions, fast ordering and mailing after
So far not one missed step! You must test your site out with the help of fools AND teenagers whi know how to look for trouble.
(Why is nothing foolproof?
Cause fools are so damned ingenious.)
Alibis is probably the best of the choices for online used book buying. The prices and the service are great, truly.
I have thousands of books I do not want to see go to landfill or wherever they might without planning.
I keep thinking of getting them to you
Between the shipping and the cost of the books is still less than I can get them at the local bookstore. Good condition has very few blemishes and they are truly in good shape. Shipping can be sluggish but I have never had one not be delivered in a reasonable amount of time. I have ordered 20+ books and I plan to take advantage of the savings Alibris offers
I have ordered at lease a dozen or more books and all have been in good or better condition and well worth the money. Today is just another restock and plan on many more.
I love how the prices are low, but the shipping adds up quickly when it's per item. I had to put items back because of that.
Ship costs are insane—twice price of the book! I bit for this one but not likely to again.
Hope to receive in short order. Price was good. Ship cost only fair.
Great price and reasonable shipping charge. Hopefully, the item is in very good condition as promised.
I always find what I'm looking for. Fast and easy.
I love shopping here. Very convenient and a lot of book varieties.
I love shopping at alibis. They have lots of old books. Very satisfied customer
Easy to use and quick to find what you're looking for!
Your system and store seems up-to-date and intuitive. I was fairly pleased.
I have always received selected items exactly as described. Very satisfied.
Shopping is easy. The search engine is simple, quick, and easy to navigate!
Very fast search engine to find full selection of choices and checkout is simple and fast.
This is the easiest place to find backlist books on the web.
Good search engine and very easy to shop
Quick, easy, and according to reviews, reliable. I hopes so!
Disappointed that my order from one source was cancelled (why?), but appreciate being notified and having the opportunity to order from another bookseller.
I found the books I was looking for with ease. Process was spelled out and user-friendly.
Excellent selection. I love being able to support local bookstores.
I liked seeing all the different editions and all their price comparisons. I wish I could see the estimated shipping costs for each book while looking at my cart, because I kept starting checkout then going back and changing books to lower my shipping costs.
A good service. Wish I could find more than one book at a time at a particular vendor. Tried that once by calling a vendor and they had another book I wanted! Thanks for all...
