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.

Easy shopping. Great selection of books. Can always find what I am looking for.
Thanks so much for locating this out of print book!
I love alibris! If i can't support my library's "yellow barn" i'll always shop here!
It was easy to shop for textbooks and I appreciate your prices
This is my first time using this site for myself. I am pleased to find the reading material I needed.
Very easy to navigate website easy to purchase from
First time ordering from here., i'll follow up once the book arrives..
Add a filter to select by shipper/vendor for used books
Bought less than the shipping cost, wish I could get the shipping cheaper!
Quick and easy, and I was able to find exactly what I wanted.
First, it takes forever to scroll thru the list of books per subject, b/c I had no option to select "view more items per page." Second, I wanted, once I was reminded@ shipping, to search by the sellers, once I locked in on a specific purchase... to see what else they had I might like... frustrating back and forth to do that. Third, I finally picked out two hundred dollars of books and realized I needed to sign in. Then? Then once I logged in, and since it turned out I had 2 log ins, I checked them both, THEN my stupid cart did not remember the books I spent 2 hours searching for... and while i was able to use my web history and go back to one of the versions of my cart history, is was not in fact the most recent one. So, that is why you got 2 stars. Otherwise, when I am not frustrated, I highly recommend your site. Except, this is exactly why I just check out as a guest. B/c signing in screws up everything. Sigh.
I've been shopping with Alibris for over 20 years.
This book has been on standby for some while now but Alibris has kept me updated for which I am thankful
So easy to shop and I've found every book I've looked for, even if shipping is a bit pricey
Great variety of books and shops to purchase from!
My god why do i have to write something here lol anyways it was just a cheap book so i bought it so good ratings so far
I have always had a positive experience with Alibris and I recommend it
Found what I was looking for. Created a new account. Somewhere in the process I lost my $5 bonus for signing up.
Found what I was looking for immediately. Took longer to set up an account than to do the transaction.
