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 use from finding the book I wanted to payment options.
Alibris makes it easy to connect with used and collectible booksellers nationwide, thereby supporting independent bookstores rather than corporate megaliths.
Easy website to connect with sellers across the USA.
Love being able to peruse the Alibris site and find what I wanted - and more!
Good prices for the items I search for and shipping is still reasonable considering the cost of fuel and lack of workers needed to run our country smoothly.
I was able to get all of the movies on my brother's wish list. Some of them were older and I thought perhaps hard to find. What a nice surprise to see them for sale at one website and at great prices, too.
The shipping cost is twice that of the book itself. This is ridiculous.
Easy peasy to order. Review of book condition based on description, and shipping, remain to be seen. In the past, all three (ordering, condition description and shipping) have been EXCELLENT with Alibris.
Website is user friendly. Haven't received my order yet.
Things are more expensive than on some other sites. Generally, it was easy enough to find things.
Only issue was how screen total for shipping changed after the time I entered the shipping address and before I placed order
The amounts should have been the same for shipping
Not increased
I would have liked to know how much more to get free shipping, and have some suggestions for additional books
Easy to find titles. Not too difficult to change shopping cart contents.
Difficult to figure out shipping costs.
Seems to be very easy to order from this company and the price is good.
Nice and easy, all my choices were available at great prices
Place shipping costs, plus tax, up front wo a potential purchaser knows the total cost of his/her purchase.
Easy site to navigate. Don't like prechecjed options for emails, newsletters. They should not be checked.
I wish I could see shipping taxes before the very end.
It's fine, just wish the cost of shipping was less
I am a wanna be DJ and your selection may promote my future dreams...
Alibris has been the best website I have found for researching the evolution of relatively obscure technologies, like progress in photogrammetry from the 1930s to the present time.
Shipping was more than triple the cost of the goods. Can slower be less expensive?
Good had the book I gave away at the airport so I am happy to have find this
