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.

Very easy. So many options. Happy the sellers are rated.
I love, love, love Alibris! Nothing could be easier and the prices are outstanding!
I am just discovering the huge inventory and great deals at Alibris. I am very impressed with the selection and prices
I have been able to find every book I have been looking for on this site; the prices are terrific and I have been happy with the books on arrival.
Good I intend to make further purchases in the future.
This is my favorite site for used books which I buy often. I always find what I'm looking for and at the best prices. Shipping is fast & easy! Nothing not to like! Will always ship here for used books!
I've always had good experiences ordering books from Albris, so I will continue to do so. The books ship quickly and arrive in good condition.
Good, but we'll see how shipping goes! Never had a problem with Alibris before!
Alibris does not allow you to select from total cost (cost& shipping).
Great place to get books; better than Amazon;)
Seemingly unlimited selection, very reasonable prices.
Easy to search, and always has the books I am looking for.
Smooth, quick and easy. Great selection and choices. And wonderful affordable prices.
Haven't experienced any problems yet and I don't think I will
So far the books I have purchased from this website are in good condition love this page
I was absolutely c r u s h e d when I saw people trying to sell this book on eBay for like $200…. Book scouter sent me here! Landed it for me for $25
Easy and lucky me you had the books I was looking for.
I would have purchased an additional $40 to get to the next discount level, but there was no way to add to the order, even before I placed it.
First purchase confusing coupon offers but even after email sign up, changed criteria. Ordered anyway but seems purposely deceptive? Shown $5; 15, etc., ribbon but latest now must spend 300
Where is my measley $5 for email submission?
I never have a chance to review my order. I wanted this sent to someone as a gift and I never had a chance to review and edit or confirm the info. I like your website but several times now, I've had to immediately cancel an order because it was a duplicate when I was trying to get more info on the cost of shipping or where it was coming from or anything. Somehow I end up ordering instead of viewing the order. Other than that I love your service!
Wonderful choices on the book I need for my book club
User friendly. Always leave 4 stars as there always room for improvements :)
Very simple. Looking forward to my purchase. Thanks.
Easy to find the book I wanted. Helpful description of condition.
Easy to find the book I wanted, and lots of choice about price, condition, shipping.
Can navigate windows, find various versions of books, sort by price, etc. easily. Good descriptions of book condition. Good coupons.
Website acted weird. I ordered as a guest, not login to account, then selected item, then specified the recipient and mailing address. Then it tried to make me create an account and put in mailing address again. Rather than that, I went "back" a couple screens and got to payment screen and it allowed me to order without setting up an account. This is a one-time gift so I didn't want recipient's address to be my permanent address.
