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 to use website with every book you can imagine!
Ordering this book was just fine. Paying around 4.82 for shipping was not
Fine. Can you lower the shipping cost. The U.S. postal service give you a
Special discount on shipping books. This book being such a low weight
Would be inexpensive to ship. Thank you! Eleanor Carr
Easy to filter &, nice selection Not bad shipping costs!
Order approval page should show used book condition
It would have been better if the shipping amount at time would be shown as soon as the shipping address is given.
Some of the shipping charges are outrageous. I have never experienced this before and have been ordering for years.
Easy. Quick. Good search. Great selections. And not Amazon. Huge plus right there
Was glad I could order everything I wanted from one site.
Great user interface easy to use.
Thank you!

My sister told me about Alibris.com. Your site had the book and it was so easy to enter and submit the order. Thanks!
Love shopping through Alibris.
With the low prices can purchase several books
Neither the payment nor the checkout page allowed me to enter the coupon code BASIN (or any other, because the coupon box isn't there!)
Shopping as guest, the contents of my cart vanished, as soon as I signed in with my email address and password. Other websites must detect my IP address, given the contents of the guest cart ARE NOT LOST, when I sign in.
When searching for movies, the search engine defaults to books with each new search. Shouldn't the customer change the search category and not the computer program?
Website was easy to use, had all my books in stock, happy with the order process.
Fast, Easy way to order my text books.
Took a lot of mucking around to get a the kind of price I was looking for including shipping. It would be nice if searches highlighted the stores whose books are already in the cart, so that shipping is from the fewest places possible
Very Good Prices. Site is easy to navigate.
Only dislike is that coupon code is only valid for over $50, but have to sign up for emails first, before you find out.
A little confused at first where the couplon code is put in. This worked itself out. Thanks for the coupon!
I sought a book on another larger supplier's website, but decided to order from Alibris as the same book, new, was over $40 more there than here on Alibris.
I have ordered here before. Items always arrive in condition states and timely.
I had technical difficulties and had to start the order again.
