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 was going to buy the same title in /very Good condition, but my
Account info was wrong. I changed it and the 25 dollar version was
No longer listed, I'm guessing because I had put it in that invalid
Chopping basket. Oh, well... so I bought a 35 dollar version, which
Is still better than Amazon Prime's 247 dollar version!
It was really easy to choose my books since the info on list of options was clear.
Finding books that are not available elsewhere, and at bargain prices
I really like the cart optimizer feature. My goal is to reduce my carbon footprint, and having my shipping and buying optimized without having to search through every listing is a feature that distinguishes you from other sellers. Thank you.
I've shopped online with Albiris numerous times, and they have always been inexpensive with fast delivery, and done with just old fashioned reliability.
The only thing I could not find was where I could edit my name to correct the spelling.
Found amazing editions of vital texts at prices even starving scholars can afford. Thank you!
Cost of shipping was NOT displayed prior to me authorizing the order. Shipping is excessive. 5 books do not cost $20 to mail.
Tried to place a second order yesterday after sending as a gift to another address and it was impossible to figure out how to get the shipping address changed so I just gave up. It seems that after waiting till today to place order to my address the other shipping information finally cleared out so I could place my order.
So happy you have hard to find books! The shopping was a little frustrating as every time I had to step away from my computer during shopping I'd come back to empty cart and have to search for the books again. This happened three times. Other than that the checkout was easy.
Not much to say. My book was easy to order. I will be pleased when it arrives
Keep having to type in all info to find out shipping $$
Fairly easy to buy ePUB book. Surprised that service was offered. Curious to see if this is better alternative than Amazon Kindle.
Easy access, a great selection but the best part is the price
Found every book that i wanted to order at a reasonable price
Easy to locate the exact book you want... and at a great reduced price.
Well organized, swift, responsive process with ordering.
Adding extra shipping charges at the last minute off-putting.
Alibris is great! Can always count on Alibris when I'm looking for a title.
You always have the particular used books that I seek
Broad range of books not found elsewhere
Fast, quick, and inexpensive... my 3 favorite things in online buying, thank you!
Easy to find, good price, reasonable shipping, easy purchase process.
Love the quality of the condition of all the books I have purchased through Alibris!
