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.

No picture of the item was available. Just hoping it's the right book.
I had to checkout twice, when 1 of the 2 items was deleted from the order and was then no longer listed for the same price. I had to use Chrome History to recover the original offer and submit a second order for that item.
It has been great! Found this book by google search which led me to your website. The rest depends upon my receiving delivery of my book before I know that you are legit or not :)
Great selections but the shipping on each book is too much.
Offers tons of options to purchase books from and, under certain qualifications, gives free shipping when buying straight from alibris. This is the site I go to when I want go bulk shopping for great prices and it's great!
Great prices - easy to use your site - loved the synopsis of the books - selection is great.
I found the books i needed for less than half the price at other sites.
Excellent. I am not known for my tech skills but your site is easy to navigate and your pricing is quite reasonable.
You make it easy to check out as a guest! Thank you!
I tried to buy this from another service but the website did not really cooperate and I gave up and went to your site and it worked perfectly. I am happy. Thanks.
Individual titles, not in a series, are simple to track and locate.
With a collected work on the multi-volume series, Dogmatics, by Barth, individual volumes would be preferred listed in ascending numeric order.
The first seller I tried to buy this book from couldn't locate that copy to ship it to me. Very disappointing. I hope this purchase ships soon. It's a gift for my daughter.
Very easy to follow and nice formatting! Great prices too.
Started order but changed in cart before I could pay, probably because it was no longer available. Just slightly confusing.
Still trying to understand what happened the first time I ordered
Just started ordering off this site. So far it seems to be good. I wish it had free shipping like Better World Books but I guess you can't have it all!
It is always a good experience to do business with you. Thanks for your help, don
Had a hard time finding Advanced Search. Checkout says, "you chose Standard Shipping" despite the fact I DIDN"T choose it and don't want it. And now I'm having trouble canceling the order since, while I searched for Vol. 1, a 2-volume set popped up and I didn't notice in time. Maybe 1 star would have been better.
The site is easy to navigate with many affordable used books
