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.

Very easy to find things and checkout. A good shopping experience.
I love to read and I love to save money. This site fits my style!
Couldn't find the ebook. Like real books better, anyway.
Upset you showed item as shipped and then said it wasn't. No indication on the offered replacement as to condition. Not professional.
Only just ordered book. Did not receive it yet, so cannot report on shipping or condition of book
Easy to navigate the website. Took less than 2 minutes to finish the transaction.
I would have liked to have seen the final total before I had to push for purchase.
Today, I was able to find all the books on my search list. It was quick and easy.
As always, Alibris comes through with good deals on good books.
Easy to locate the book I wanted. I need the edition in The Stephen King Horror Library of Peter Straub's Ghost Story-- the description text indicates that is the book I ordered. But the book image is incorrect for that edition. Remains to be seen if this is what I have to have.
Search revealed a copy of the book I wanted at a better price than the general bot engines were able to locate.
Found my books fast and checked out quickly. Very satisfying.
I've come to alibris since uni to find books that are hard to find or too expensive in other places.
I saw a book--said from $4.49 when I searched it--then when I clicked the red box, the next page showed the book for $5.00.
This is my second-ever order. I like it so far.
User friendly, Didn't see coupon disclaimer till after order placed. Would rather it not be automatically checked.
Easy to shop, delivery has always been timely, good selection
This is my go-to site for used books!
I have been very pleased with this site. I like the format, especially being able to choose the edition.
Easy to find, good selection, fair prices and the sellers are reliable.
Easy to find, good quality books, great prices.
Alibris is an easy-to-navigate website. I've bought many books from them, and I never hesitate to buy another. The quality of the books is always as advertised, shipping is fast, and I've never had a problem.
I always find what I am looking for for the bed price possible.
Easy to shop as guest and use PayPal to pay. Thank you!
Not pleased that my cc info was saved. I did not click on save.
Good website - easy to check navigate and check out!
Everything is easy to read and there good descriptions of each item.
Shipping from the same source for three books should be cheaper than if individually shipped.
Enjoy the used books at low prices - shipping is kind of high, however.
The coupon ads can be deceptive, particularly when they really don't knock off much. The shipping ends up being a limiting factor in using alibris sometimes
