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.

Couldn't have been easier! Only book site online with a very specific niche book and at a reasonable price!
Billing info update isn't painless. Should be able to edit account info separately.
Clean interface, fast search, good prioritization of choices.
Quick response and delivery. Books in really good conditions.
I had problems with my first order. I had to repeat the process, but everything went smoothly after that. I hope to receive my books soon!
The best price on line. Great, detailed info on the item listings helped me pick exactly what I wanted. Very easy shopping and check out experience.
Alibris has always shown to have a good selection of books on varying subjects I have researched. Twice I emailed customer service and they got back to me promptly and addressed my issues.
I wish it was easier to save on shipping when buying multiple books from non-Alibris sellers... like, show me which sellers can fulfill my order of multiple books for the lowest total price
Excellent except I signed up for a $5 coupon and didn't see it.
I have no issues It is the first time I have shopped with you.
The search engine gets you to the title you want quickly, but includes different editions of a title together, so not always clear what you are getting.
Items I would put in my cart would later become not available. Had to open site many times and recreate to finally make it work.
A little frustrating as I went back to check options and it added on books
Easy searching. Love the alternate options for money savings.
1) SHIPPING EXPENSIVE, even more cost than Amazon's often 3.99.
2) Can't find a way to enclose GIFT RECEIPT when I am sending a gift!
Alibris doesn't disappoint. Wonderful selection of books at great prices with timely delivery. What more could a reader ask for?
This is a wonderful site for securing gently used books at a terrific price. I have been very pleased with the quality of the books and timelines of delivery. Thank you.
I have used Alibris many long years for hard to find books and CDs. I have never been disappointed.
Fast and easy search for what I was looking for, and least expensive option by far. My highest rating!
Found the book I wanted within minutes, and at the best price.
Easy to find the used books I'm looking for.
Very easy to find the format and price I'm looking for.
Great selection! Good incentives to buy! Excellent deals!
