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 easy to search, and robust in terms of results.
It read free shipping and instead about $5 was added to each item.
I appreciate the easy process but would like to have delivery times available when ordering.
I am extremely happy with Alibris! This is my second time ordering and while it is not fast like Amazon, I have saved more money on the purchase of older published books which are listed fora good deal more money.
I'm thrilled to find the book I was looking for at an excellent price for a used book!
Love Alibris! Thanks for your many years of excellent service to your patrons!
First time. It will be interesting to see how it goes.
Shipping charges far exceed the cost of the books, maybe I'm just not up to date on shipping costs?
It was easy, up to this point! Now I'll learn how long the shipping takes and the quality of the products when I receive them. Hopefully fast shipping and good quality, the books are gifts for a 10 year old named Lucca.
They had all the books I was looking for at a very reasonable price. Thank you, Ken Simeral, Prescott, AZ
Easy site to navigate which I appreciate as a 72 year old!
Easy to navigate website with relevant information.
I want send this as a gift but don't see a way to do that
Really easy to navigate through the site to find the right books!
Like the upfront shipping fees and the ability to filter/sort by condition
Lousy search options: can't select paperback/hardcover, select acceptable condition(s), choose sort order. Sad! Pathetic! This is all trivial with any database-backed website, I was doing it decades ago. Fire your IT dept and hire a real coder.
Had what I wanted and states it will get here when I want it
I have always found an interesting & or uncommon print that's either out of print or hard to find… I WILL come back here to this site over & over…
I almost ALWAYS find what I'm looking for & "usually" it's a bette price than any other I could find- also, more original pressings than anywhere.
Easy checkout and happy they had the book I've been looking for.
Very Straight Forward, no tricks and it appears the item will be shipped when it said it would be.
Alibis had the book I was looking for, and the site is extremely easy to navigate.
