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 the book for which I was looking. Fast and easy checkout.
I loved the new feature that helped me consolidate my order to reduce shipping costs.
Problems with the website: I lost the items in my cart while I was resetting my password.
Alibris has an easy to use website, good communications, and reasonable prices.
I have attempted to purchase a book four or more times only to be canceled.
Easy, no problem, found many options and shipping was clear and easy to understand
My book came in excellent condition. The price was great! My one complaint was in the time it took for me to receive item. It took over two weeks. I received an email stating item was delayed, which I didn't appreciate because I was waiting to use for a book club reading that had already began. Other than the timeframe, I was very satisfied with the experience.
Prices tend to be a bit higher here and quality is subjective to each seller. We dont like that bulk orders dont get better shipping pricing
