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.

Real books that I want that are not available at the library unless one settles for screen e-books.
I appreciate being able to fine-tune my book searches. Your inventory is impressive!
Site is easy to navigate saves time when looking for specific titles in specific conditions.
Information on the seller, condition, and shipping costs are clear. Makes the process quick and trustworthy.
Book disappear out of the cart. You show a price lower than what the prices are when one looks at the search results
My first order with Alibris for this title failed, as the seller said he had sold it long ago. Alibris had to refund my payment. I hope the second order works out better.
Alibris is an excellent source for that hard-to-find book.
Love Alibris. I have been ordering from this site for over 15 years and never a problem.
Found what I was looking for at a very reasonable price
I always find what I'm looking for, but I mis-understood your promotion. Shouldn't I have received $15 off and free shipping?
I always seem to find just what I'm looking for. Thanks!
One of the best sights I've found that handles out of print and sparse publications. I checked at least four other sites and it wasn't even listed.
Great experience each time even with resolving issues
Thanks
I pray I'm satisfied with the condition of the book. Blessings
I wish they hadn't sold out to Amazon but Alibris is still easy to use & affordable.
Easy to use website, prices are second to none, I somehow loved them more before Amazon bought them
Great service I scouted every online book site. Not only did Alibris have it with a very fast and easy search, the prices were even lower and smooth seamless checkout. Now I expectantly wait …
I was going to order this somewhere else but your shopping was cheaper and the book was too!
I enjoy how easy it is to shop and find what you are looking for.
I'm grateful for resources like this, it was easy I was just a bit confused on the prices listed, it would give 2 dollar amounts as in "$4.55 $23.99" and I first assumed the first price was the book purchase and the next higher number was shipping cost I'm glad I investigated and saw it wasn't though.
Used Books that I receive are as described. Good shipping
My shopping on line experience with your site was very easy. I happened to stumble across this site when I couldn't get access to another popular site.
I can always count on Alibris to have hard to find rare books!
Able to purchase hard to find books at great prices.
The cart malfunctioned, giving me a book I had already received. When I went to delete that one item, it deleted my whole order. Then the one book I wanted from a particular seller did not appear in search results and I had to choose another seller at a less favorable quality.
