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.

The site is easy to use. It is easy to tell the shape of the used book and the cost of shipping. Sadly they did not have the book I wanted.
I signed up for the $5 coupon but I didn't see it when I ordered!?
This is the first place I come for any books, both pleasure and text books. Alibris is a Godsend to all bibliophiles.
Alibris is an awesome platform to purchase books! Highly recommend using it.
Alibris has been my go to source for books and music for decades.
Mostly fine as always but cannot ever find expedited shipping options...
I am always disappointed by having to wait for the shipping costs until the very last step of the purchase process as shipping can be a significant part of the total cost. Also, links from Alibris emails for special coupons are not auto populated and were removed during the shopping process forcing me to find them again.
I've had good experience with Alibris. Good selection and prices, and the books arrive quickly. The books are in good condition too.
Website for collecting account information is kludgy. Retains old information and updates can only be seen when you log out an log back in.
Don't like the fact that it automatically saves your credit card information (- security code) which I don't prefer.
I had a little trouble entering my credit card number. Spacing would help.
Easy, good prices, looking forward to quick shipping!
So far, the shopping has been easy and quick, prices are very cheap, so I am hoping I dont get a pile of shredded paper in a box.
If I'm buying more than one book from a seller there should be a discount on shipping.
I like Alibris.com because I can buy books that are very difficult to find at my local bookstores.
I always find the books I need/I want!
Always can find the books I want regardless of how old or scarce.
Please no junk mail! Do not send junk mail! I will post review after a month to see if i get any junk mail.
Alibris is my go to place for books. I have always been completely satisfied.
So far so good - item description is pretty lean, so going on the fact that the book condition is rated "Good" and trust / hope the seller is honest in their rating.
Well organized and plenty of detailed information to base a purchase decision on.
Easy to use and effective web site. Quick turn around too
Always books as represented and quickly shipped
Always good prices and great shipping
