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.

Why waste time searching other sites for hard to find books? Always start with Alibris!
Easily found what I wanted, in the desired edition and condition. Easily noted the seller's good reviews and purchased with a couple of clicks. Easier than pie (though not as tasty).
Something went wrong the first time I clicked Submit, so I looked at all parts, changed none, & Submitted again. I hope that I will only be charged once
Love this book provider so much. I will never go anywhere else. Don't need to! Thank you!
Very very happy w all my purchases! I appreciate the value I get and the good service.
Found a novel I've been looking for for a while. Knew the author. Great book.
I was disappointed because my item was canceled. The email notification informed me that the item was no longer available. It is my opinion that if an item is not available, one should not be able to order it.
It is easy to navigate and find rare science books too.
Quick and easy, reliable. So nice to do business with Alibris
I love the huge list of selection choices, the ease of searching, the sometimes even quirky selections. I am quirky, so I like quirky!
I just returned (and that went well) a booklet that was described as a book.
On the return you gave me "Your Exclusive Coupon" for $3 to cover the shipping.
I then purchased Order *******-1 for $7.38 and you told me that was not enough
For the coupon to work--where was that information on your return information?
Prompt notification re: original item not being available, but there being a replacement in my cart.
Quick to find and purchase. The filter by condition tool is great.
This is so easy to find what I want. Because of my tight budget, this site offers me choices I wouldn't normally have.
I just got my tax refund and I have been waiting to order all the books and movie that I have wanted during the past few months. I love shopping on line and not paying sky high prices. I even got a discount this time with my coupon.
I love having the choice of how much I wish to pay for a certain used paperback. These days, dollars are scarce so you must debate what is needed and what is considered a luxury. I usually find what I am looking for on this site. Coupon savings also helps us poor old people.
Always have the book I'm looking for at a good price
I love how easy it is to find used books for cheap! This is a unique and valuable service.
Easy, clear, Only thing was I wanted to pay with Discover credits and couldn't figure how to do it. But no big thing. I just paid with my Discover card.
I keep checking to see if this is the actual book or just a lithograph of the cookbook that taught me to cook as a child. Nostalgia!
I would love to have the shipping costs lower for the books
I like simplicity of the website. Setting up a new account and checkout was straight forward and easy.
Good, easy site to navigate and purchase item
Trust postage and delivery similar
May I indicate Australia Post as my preferred carrier as my retirement village is close to my local Aus Post - so I can pick up parcel easily if item too big to fit into mail box.
Cheers!

Thanks! My adult daughter grew up listening to these songs, and now my grandchildren can enjoy them!
