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.

Book was very affordable and in great condition. Truly appreciate the seller for the quick shipping as well.
Easy transaction, book arrived within stated time period.
Why is the site so slow?
SUPER SLOW SITE. SUPER SLOW SITE. SUPER SLOW SITE. SUPER SLOW SITE. SUPER SLOW SITE.
All good. No complaints. I've order before and received a very nice book.
I like being able to find the books I want, when I want them and have more than one option to look it up.
I have always been able to find any book that I'm looking for.
Went pretty well! Also puzzleing my way around your site, kept me on my mental toes!
I enjoy shopping your site, it opens up a lot of magical moments..
Good except no image of book at first. I had to check ISBN #
The site is otherwise quite professional.

I have not purchased anything from Alibris in quite some time, having once been a dedicated user of this service. However, the extremely reasonable prices asked for both items I ordered encourage me to renew my acquaintance in a regular, even frequent fashion. Tommy Richardson
Pretty darn easy and the only thing I have an issue with is shipping. Seems a bit much.
I easily found the book on your website. The cost was comparable to other sellers'.
A bit clunky, might be shopping via mobile device but customer interface was a bit difficult to maneuver
I had some trouble getting my order placed but finally did. Hopefully I'll receive my order in a timely manner. Thanks much.
Always easy to shop and purchase, never had problems with delivery or the quality of the books
Easy to find and purchase what I was looking for at the right price too
Easy to shop with the guest option and PayPal option. Also, price was right.
Quick and easy to find and purchase a book. The price for the books was very good.
Alibris is so much simpler to use than other booksellers. The site is easy to navigate, book conditions clearly stated, and your checkout works well. (You don't set up road blocks at check out to make us create an account. Much appreciated!)
Shipped fast and as described, a good price for a scarce book.
I had a mishap with ordering a book for my daughter's birthday. However a manager from Alibris contacted me and explained the situation which resolved the issue. I still think Alibris is one of the best bookstores I ever known.
It's always nice to search and or buy books on alibris. Thank you for making everything possible.
