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.

Shopping with Alibris allows you to find nearly every book you want and always at a lower price and lower shipping.
Thanks for including the option to pay via PayPal, so much faster and easier to track.
Your shipping rates are enormous and unprecedented. I have never paid over $4 for shipping a small book before. Where are you getting them from? Shanghai?
Don't like the fact that I can't see shipping until I'm placing the order. Shipping information should be included with the price of the book to help choose the seller.
Good website. Easy to navigate. Easy to see condition of book you're buying.
Best place for me to get the books I have been wanting to replace for a long time
Glad to have found books that I used to have in my library
I like Alibris for my books that are hard to acquire and that may have been out of print for a while.
I hate that I can't get all my books in one package, but I'll get over it. I spend more in shipping than I do in the books. It makes my day!
Superb and always having just what a person needs!
I found the books I needed for great prices. Thank you!
Thank you for being so reasonably priced with book. Looking to become a teacher and having collections like this in my possession will help make me a well rounded student and future teacher.
Website would not process purchase because I typed in Texas and not Tx.
Web site is clear and important that you state where the book is coming from. Thank you
Quick, easy, humorous(I am paying more for shipping that the book.) confident
Great prices. Fast checkout. Appreciate the suggestions on which copy to buy.
The system should be able to save your password instead of having to re-enter it each time.
As I was in the process of checking out books were being removed from my cart. This made me mad. My quantity of 3 books should have been mine when 5 where available when I chose 3. Just because I wasn't fully checked out doesn't mean someone should have been able to pull one from my cart.
I'd like to be able to easily buy books from one seller in order to save postage and oil.
I have shopped with Alibris many times and always had a great experience.
Found my item quickly in good condition.
Love the selection of older books but the shipping cost could be better. Now we'll see how long it takes the books to arrive!
So far I am happy with prices and ordering, now we will see if and when it arrives!
