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.

Alibris offers hard to find books at a great price
This is a very easy to use website. I especially like the details offered about the providers.
Your website is easy to navigate through and is user friendly. Thank you.
The system seized on several occasions. I want these books for my mom, but it took 4 tries to be able to check out
Yesterday I tried 3 times to complete this order & it wouldn't let me move to the confirmation page. I had to send a message with my problem complaint. Today it worked.
I have ordered from you in the past & never had this problem. I hope I don't in the future!
Thank you for asking!

Alibris is my "go to" site for quality used books within my budget.
Great to work with Alibris, many years of good service.
This has been so easy, and it's not amazon so it's guilt-free
I have been a customer for years and I am just as happy shopping with you today as I was years ago. Great products and great service!
Excellent inventory, reasonable prices and shipping, reliable merchants.
I have been a customer of Alibris for many years. I have found them to be a reliable supplier, easy to search for items, and the description of items is accurate.
Easy to find what I am looking for. Prices are reasonable.
Long time customer of Alibris. Like the searching features and shopping options.
I appreciate the optimized cart function. It helped me save a little bit more money.
More coupons should be given for college students regardless of the amount they are spending
Love this site, where you can find old relics and lost books from my past!
Entering the coupon code cleared my credit card number and code--though not the expiration date. I don't understand why this would happen.
Can usually find the titles I want in very good condition and at a great price!
You showed a book as available for sale. Then it disappeared when I came back to pay a few minutes later.
Good discounts, easy to find materials, user-friendly site.
"A quick message about your shopping experience so far"
I'm so glad you're still not part of Amazon, which I refuse to patronize. This was easy, inexpensive and I'm quite content.
As long as Alibris remains not owned by Amazon I will always choose it. They have accurate descriptions, dependable products, prompt delivery and the best prices I've found.
I have used alibris for years and have always been happy with the service
The free shipping pull in that doesn't apply to a huge amount of books. Stop false advertising. I don't want to use Amazon but this bugs me so bad.
