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.

Just now ordered, not yet received. Will see how this works out.
I love ordering through Alibris! Very easy to make a selection and order.
Great! The site is easy to use and the books a not expensive.
Was able to sign up for alerts on this book and see when the book was available for a reasonable price. My uncle wrote it:)
Easy and fast. Will continue to use and let my fellow friends and family know how convenient this sight is.
The website was kind of slow today. And it'd be awesome to be able to see a preview of books. And I think you're charging too much per book now ($4.50!?) and am starting to seek and use alternatives.
It could be a little prettier but overall I'm quite happy with the site. I also wish the shipping were less expensive. $4 seems like a lot. Even $3 instead of $4 would make a big difference in saying "yes!" to purchases. It would also be great to be able to determine if a seller ships using paper packaging or plastic (I highly prefer paper), and sort based on that criteria.
Relatively easy, but the key word search failed to find sought volume despite keywords being the title of the book and authors. The advance search on the mobile platform is not geared toward copy and paste. Likewise adjusting quantity on the mobile platform was clunky.
Shopping at Alibris has always been a good experience!
Has been so helpful to me these past two years of finding mostly all of my requested books
The shipping cost came as a bit of a surprise, but the books, themselves, were cheap enough that it still evened out to a good deal.
Alibris is the only used book store I use. Can always find what I want.
Love using Alibris! Always find the books that I am looking for.
Alibis is always the best shopping experience.
I went to the library to check this book out. Couldn't be found anywhere! Sue ( an employee) suggested you! Less than Amazon WooHoo
Great so far. Hope the DVD I ordered arrives shortly and in good condition! Shouldn't be too long from TX to TN. Thanks :)
It was quite difficult for me, took a long time, but I do lack in experience.
Alibris gives great options for used books and is simple to use.
I would like a quicker arrival date if possible. I could t see the possible arrival dates until I purchased the item.
Is my "go-to" website for books. Always prompt service and items arrive as described.
Could only get my visa to work no enter way worked that I tried
