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.

I have ordered many books from Alibris. I am well pleased with the service.
Very easy to place the order. I had looked at a few other book stores, ebay, amazon and no one had this book.
I've used Alibris service before. Never disappointed!
Always a good source for books to complete a series.
Appreciate that the rating of the condition of the book is easy to see.
Separate shipping charges for each book is kind of a drag.
It was easy to find the book I was looking for, and prices were very reasonable.
No major issues. I realize with used books, condition is hard to note on every tome, but it would be good to have a 'significant marks and notes' listing. I've received a few books that were severely highlighted and writing in margins, very frustrating. If I have a book where I've written and marked it up, I usually destroy the copy.
Site is easy to use and I found books I have been looking for.
You advertised free shipping (with a purchase minimum) and still charged for shipping.
Our mail has been delayed due to weather, so we still have not received the previous order, but I don't think that's your fault.
I love your store! Easy to use and find the books and movies I'm looking for.
Free shipping and other coupons are next to impossible to get
Difficult to asses the edition of the book being purchased. Have to look carefully into each offer.
Very affordable, easy, and many options for any of my needs!
I don't understand why some items did not show a shipping charge?
The website is easy to use and there is always a variety of whatever you are looking for!
Interface is clean and easy to manage. Books are clearly organized and can be even further specified through ISBN number(s). Most books I have found use ISBN-13 and regular ISBN so be mindful of that when looking for particular editions of a book.
Overall, 10/10. Will shop using this site in the future.
I like that you let me choose replacement for unavailable copy
Was unable to get on your site because of "too many redirections" error with my Kindle Fire and Silk browser. Today I got in with a laptop running Chrome. By that time, coupon "JANUARY' expired--so I dumped some of my order. Letting you know so you can fix.
Always a good experience; I like supporting Alibris.
Excellent so far. You should state the shipping cost prior to going to full check out screen
