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.

Always fun for this plant addict to discover more plant books somehow missed in the past
I love Alibris! Only on Alibri.com can I easily find unusual or out-of-print books. The service is excellent and delivery is timely.
I get all of my online books through Alibris. Easy, simple, lot of options - doesn't get any better.
Shipping costs led to removal of all but one book in my cart.
Lots of good information to help me with my buying decision.
So far so good. I've gotten my books in a timely manner, all of them in very good condition!
I hope you have this outdated book - the book means so much to me.
I always find Alibris easy to navigate except for one thing: if I'd like to order from a shipper that is geographically closer, I have to comb through many pages rather than enter a location specifier.
Found and bought my book very quickly.
I found the books I needed; checkout was easy.
Straightforward, not too aggressive viz taking membership
Always good. Just wish shipping was not so expensive. Spent more on shipping than my total book order.
Wish you had more of a variety of free shipping
I have always had a great experience when ordering.
Cart emptied twice and I could no longer order the books in my cart the first two times.
Very easy, but seller could offer more detail about the product to explain the condition "good"
I love purchasing books on the Alibris website. I recommend the site to all my friends.
I was able to put in what l needed to find with no problem at all l ordered my book and it only took a few min. At check out and my book was on its way.
Site is easy to follow and the book I needed was available at a reasonable price.
I have uses this site several times and always received the books at a great price and in good condition.
Site is easy to use, with plenty of seller options to choose from. Prices are reasonable too.
The website is very easy to use, and to find what you're looking for. This is my go-to site for second hand books!
Alibris usually has the books that I want and with a wide variety of prices for used books.
EBay almost had my purchase, but the combination of the coupon from the site header and the free shipping (which, unfortunately, was not shown on the book listing) lowered Alibris' price several dollars below eBay's.
