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.

Good selection and good prices. I bought a book last month and it was in excellent condition.
Easy enough but I thought there should be a better rate for shipping since I combined my order from one seller.
Quick and easy. BEST part is that I found the exact books I was looking for!
Good - it would be helpful if there were more information about the books available on the site. I generally research elsewhere, then come here to check prices and availability.
I'd like to be able to search by seller (so I can get shipping discounts by aggregating books) and also to filter for condition (I don't want to see anything less than "very good," for instance.)
I like using Alibris but I wish there was a clearer way to define the condition of the book. Sometimes I've gotten books with pencil and pen marks and feel that they should not have a 'like new' rating.
You had all the books needed. Shipping is adequate
You have everything right: Book, address, visa card #, price, shipping
Efficient, many of the same book offered
Love shopping with you guys, you always have what I want and when I want it.
The latest copy of exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
I did not expect shipping and handling cost for each book since they will be shipped to the same address.
I think this is a straightforward interface. I do wish there was an obvious way to place a single "order" that would ship to more than one recipient. Then I could easily buy books for several people as one transaction on my credit card. Thank you!
Really easy to find the editions and formats of books you are looking for. I wish retailers would put photos of the copies online but I realize that is much to ask. I have never had a negative experience in my many, many years of using Alibris, and I only use dealers who have 4+ stars.
The only thing that could be improved would be to have the ability to filter by book condition through I'm new to the site and it may be user error. Thanks!
The website works well. Two areas where it could be improved: (1) make it easier to see the condition of the book as you scan the search results. (2) Add ApplePay.
Alibris is a great way to purchase used books. I receive them promptly and they have always been in good condition.
These are being ordered for my adult children so I wish I could have shipped to their individual addresses
I only wanted to order one copy of the book and it is now ordered me three how do I cancel the others please help immediately beliebris
No hassle to order & Hope book is in good shape since it is used. I need it within 2 weeks. Thanks Lou Shackelford
Haven't been in here for a while, got lost. Got found. Lol
Just the quantity of titles you offer impresses me.
A suggestion. Your list of books in a same series should all be included as related to each other. There should be a list also of the order to be read.
Some of the sellers on here charge WAY too much. They are doing it on eBay and amazon too. I am so glad this seller changed their mind on the price!
Great prices. Fast process. Will buy from Alibis again
