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.

Love this COMPANY. I've received so many books at the very BEST PRICES $
Thank you so much Alibris. Keep up the good work. :)
Nice and easy found my picks and the man will put them in my mail box
My shopping was quick and easy. Alibris had several choices for me to pick from.
The site deleted all of the things in my shopping cart for no reason, and it was not because my items were not available.
I love how cheap I can get my books here
Good, But I wish some of the books a=on my list were less expensive. Also the shipping seems expensive, especially when ordering multiple books from one seller.
Great selection but no discount for multiple books ordered from same seller.
Good; some books I searched for were not available for free shipping. I know thats just the way it goes.
I really appreciate the ease of ordering and paying for what I ordered. Thank you
WEBSITE SUCKS $#*! ON HOW TO CHANGE BILLING ADDRESS BACK AFTER ORDERING WITH A SHIPPING ADDRESS THAT IS DIFFERENT SO THE BOOK I ORDERED DOES NOT SHIP AND SIT ON A PORCH IN THE RAIN FOR EXAMPLE BUT IN MY OFFICE!
Easy, quick, clear description (provided what arrives is what was described)
No function to track books in a series. Work'd last time, not now tho
I am the author of this book. I was impressed by the price, until I saw what you were charging for shipping.
An alternate shopping cart was offered that would save me money on price and/or consolidated shipping. I selected the recommended alternate but when I went to check out, I got the original cart. No matter how many times I tried, I got the original cart. Also, I found a book/seller I liked and a minute later that selection was gone.
I found two of the three books I wanted and I saved ~$10 over what I would have paid on Amazon.
Extremely obnoxious that you forced me to decline TWICE to be placed on your coupon mailing list. I do not want emails from you people. I just want to be this book and then have you LEAVE ME ALONE! Got it?
Always find what I want. Like having the choice between new and used. And I try not to use Amazon!
The site had many issues such as items disappearing, or not being able to log in, or not being able to have a different shipping address from the billing address.
The website is easy to navigate. Your prices are better than Amazon.
I just love Alibris so much. I get 90% of my books from here!
I ordered an item an hour ago, and it's gone? So, I have to go through the hassle of reordering. Really!
If I receive the book as promised I will be a happy customer... The ordering process was very simple.
It was quick and easy but I wish that the search function was more productive.
So far it's been easy to find books I want and order i have no idea how the mail process is. I'll wait and see.
