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.

Almost always as ordered and good resolution if not.
The more you order from one store the shipping should be cheaper
My second time shopping. First time was good. The books also were good used books
Easy and satisfied with the shipping books always good shape
Everything went smooth ordering we'll see how the shipping goes once it's sent
Don't like new books being less than used once your 5.00 shipping is added. I want to reuse, reduce and recycle!
I like to purchase used books because it is kinder to the planet and your company makes it easy for me to do.
Good. A little hard to get back to cart once I started purchase process.
This was easy ordering, and instead of always logging on as a guest as I've done in the past--because sometimes it's such a hassle retyping in a password & getting it right when you can't see what you typed in the first time--everything went smoothly when I just bit the bullet and created an account for the first time with Alibris
Easy-to-use website, ease of shopping and ordering, and the site offers a non-Amazon choice for those of us boycotting Amazon!
Very nice and quick! Hopefully delivery matches today' s effort! Thanks!
I was able to find what I was shopping for with Alibris after several sites were out of stock.
The only thing I could wish for is that specific info on a used book is offered, not a general overview as with this purchase. I'm taking a chance that the charts are readable.
I love that I can get the
Rest of the saxon tales at fair prices
I love buying my books from you.
They always are better than good condition
Love the low prices and access to Biblical Studies.
Website is easy to use and offers many book sources
Last year, I had my credit card number stolen on-line 7 times in 9 months. So, I am no longer opening accounts. I just buy as a guest, and if I can not, I go elsewhere. Thanks for being available.
If ordering several books, would like to order from 1 supplier at reduced shipping rate. The shipping, for me, is always higher than the books. Bill
Love Alibris. Great reliable service and price options.
I have shopped with several times with never a problem. I will continue my shopping with your company.
Would appreciate the old feature for possibly merging into fewer sellers
I found the book I wanted on the first try; the other suggestions were on target so I purchased an additional book.
A beautifully designed, clear, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing website on which it is always a pleasure to shop for books. I greatly prefer Alibris' website to Amazon's. Amazon deliberately makes the purchase of used books difficult, and navigating its advertisement- and visual-gimmick-laden website is a chore.
An excellent website design makes book shopping a pleasure. Alibris' clear, beautiful website, thoughtfully designed for book lovers, contrasts very favorably with the busy, cluttered, ad-larded site of the mega-monopoly.
You've always had what I've needed. Have recommended your site to an endless number of friends and acquaintances
Have used your site for years with great results. Recommended it to family and friends!
Always my "Go To" source for books that are hard to find. You've rarely disappointed me
