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.

I've been able to find books that I can't find anywhere else and the book prices are great. Shipping cost is higher than I'd like, but the high cost is offset by the low book prices.
Fast, easy; and the prices are great.
Not as fluent as Thriftbooks, shipping clearly not as well done - however a good source for used books.
It was quick and easy. I don't want to give it a 5-star yet because I haven't had a chance to see if it actually ships to me.
I have ordered several books from Alibris and am pleased at the quality and prices. I love books and I love to save money!
It was a little confusing trying to find the items in the shopping cart. I finally figured out how to see my cart by scrolling down. Other than that, a great site for finding out of publication books and good used book bargains!
Always easy to use and usually has what I am seeking
I wanted to continue as a guest, & your site would not allow me to do that, because I had an account. Took me a lot longer than I wanted to spend, then told me I had the wrong password, which I know was right.
So far, very good. Ask me again after I've received the book.
It's ok... shipping charges from Ut. To Denver are $5.69... seems hefty!
I love this site... I buy almost all of my books here!
Smooth pages. Transitions intuitively from one page to the next.
I liked the "recommended copy" button. Lower price.
You had used books in the subject I was looking for at a very reasonable price!
Found the book I wanted, updated my CC info, all good
Painless, wide volume of books to choose from. I've been shopping with Alibeis for years and never had an issue
Shipping costs higher than other used book sellers. For these shipping costs, the books better show up here within a few days.
Concise, fast, easy, and no advertisements! Thank you!
I love this store. It's been my go to store since online shopping for books began
I'm looking forward to reading about why I'm sick with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma, SCAD, FMD. And if I can be cured by not eating store bought toxins.
Its a little confusing but i seem to be able use the software.
I could see no alternative to saving my card details on your site. If I haveI the choice I don't do this
Good online shopping experience. Not so good shipping.
I am tired of your dumb coupons that I can never use. They never really apply.
