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.

Shipping costs are way too high. Will probably be shopping elsewhere.
Love Alibris and the cheaper shopping cart option, plus coupons!
Great. I'm glad to find this very expensive book at an affordable price.
Very fair price, especially with shipping & tax, hope it comes in good shape, thanks!
Easy to locate desired book. Checkout is efficient.
I like that I can get the books sent to my home and save money when they are used but good condition. The site allows easily to search titles and authors as well as suggests other things I might be interested in.
I love how easy it is to find the books I want and purchase used books at great prices. I found the book I wanted and with a simple search found two others to order as well.
The first time I shopped here my Discover card number was stolen. Now I'll try PayPal. I just bought a DVD set and now learned it's available cheaper from same seller. I wish I'd known that before I completed transaction. Neither of these things are necessarily their fault but it still colors my shopping experience here.
Website has a good layout, easy to find what you're looking for and see whether or not it qualifies for free shipping quickly.
Variety of books available and easy website to access through.
Easy to use and find my book choice for a low price with shipping type of choices as well.

Would like to know how to cancel an order when I make a mistake. I have two shipping addresses on here and I sometimes send an order to the wrong one. If I could cancel and then reorder that would be great. I love Alibris and order a lot of books from you. Thank you
Usually find just what I'm looking for. Been buying books here for several years.
Love love love shipping from Alibris, so easy and nice!
I was not told shipping would be as pricey per book.
Shipping and other expenses should be shown in the cart even if they are estimated prior to entering any customer info other than zip.
Very easy web site to use. Good descriptions of the books.
