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.

Easy to find, quick to order. When they arrive, I'll talk about that. :)
Easy shopping and found book most stores are out of stock
My favorite booksellers are on Alibris. Always a fair deal to be had with a large range of product. The customer is well taken care of here..
Had what I wanted at a good price. Online purchase was hassle free.
More friendly experience than my auto insurance for updating. Would be nice to have a human to ask quedtion.
Nearly excellent; Customer Service is outstanding, online usage is easily done and whole procedure is customer/reader friendly. Disappointed however, that only 2 of my 3 purchases (gifts) was delivered, so procedure had to be re-done. Nonetheless, a solid book-buying experience.
This is the first time I've shopped Alibris. Your title lookup was easy to use. I like the graphics, pictures and descriptions of the books.
I would like to see the shipping and tax costs before I get to check out.
Great books at reasonable prices & I love supporting independent book sellers. Way more fun than Amazon :)
The book was available. I wish there was a better description of the condition.
Still not entirely sure I will be able to access this digital book
You had the movie I was looking for at a price I could afford.
Issues and accepting password. Wrong cover picture for third edition (hope I will get the third and not second edition). Site will only accept American dollars via PayPal. Nothing major just rather cumbersome site overall.
Ordering is very easy. The problem becomes the people who fill the orders. They either send the wrong book or the order is sent to a foreign country.
I should stop buy new books altogether, I love alibris
My shopping experience was simple, quick, and efficient.
Thank you!
Good experiences, timely response when shipping was delayed on last order, nice personal touch.
Alibris provides great availability of books current and past. This service has never failed me! I have been using it for years.
It was very easy to find what I was looking for, and checkout was easy too.
