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.

Outside of using Alibris for book ordering seems like not a good deal... shipping fees are the problem when it comes to books Outside of their network.
I just love the way I buy books online is it's so easy!
I Love Alibris. I can always find an old book here.
I have used Alibris for years and find the experience to be great!
I spent about an hour going in circles. Finally made it to pay and check out. You had an old address from AR and I didn't have my old password. Next too long
Quick & understandable in accessing my item to purchase.
Alibris is easy to search, has good quality items, and ships quickly.
Pretty quick search in finding what I want for a reasonable price
There are many good books at alibris, and the shipping costs are reasonable there. So I am satisfied.
Quick, inclusive, well presented. A Christmas activity for our grown grandchildren. Would recommend a book that we bought in Amsterdam: The 17th-century Dolls' Houses of the Rijksmusum
The book I was looking for was available, I was able to order it easily and it should arrive in time for Christmas. When it does, I will upgrade my rating to 5 stars.
FOUND all my books cheaper here than anywhere else. Thank you!
First time shopping with alibis, hope I get books in time for Christmas..
I love love love this company I always find what I'm looking for either Music or the latest best seller.
Efficient site. It would be nice if reviews of products were available to read.
You had a book that has been hard to find! Thanks for billing in Canadian funds and shipping to Canada. Great experience.
Great way to wait keep searching for a book your interested in.
Liked that it remembered me even though I had not created an account, and prompted me to give the info to set up an account.
Alibris beats Amazon to a pulp, hands down! Great experience. Thank you.
Effortless. Except that for a rare work (in Russian) the search required some thought.
Quite smooth - surprised at how expensive these 2 titles are, but then they are recent works.
I shop often using thriftbooks. They are able to coordinate their sellers to tell me if the same book is available with one of the companies I ordered another book from, lowering the shipping costs for me.
