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.

Located several vendors with the book I need, thus giving me options to select the best deal.
I had to put my credit card number in the box three times before I could move to the next page. I tried on yesterday and gave up because I tried so many times.
All the books I have ordered have been in great condition. I even appreciate the highlights and notes from previous owners.
Here's to continued learning through Alibris!
There hasn't been any issues. Shipment on time or early and quality of books above expectations. So grateful I stumbled upon this website.
Easy and efficient. I liked being able to order the list of the title I wanted in many different ways.
Fast, simple, efficient, easy-to-use with great selections.
I had most difficult 3 hours trying to gain access to my account-Awful experience indeed.
Easy to use, good selection of authors on subject of interest.
I've looked for this album for a long time and you made it easy.
Alibris is a Great site. Have found hard to find movies at a good price. Thank You
Buying from Alibris is very convenient. Sellers are always top notch.
Nice and quick. Just the way I like it. Very happy I chose these guys!
Quick and easy process! This website reminds me of the original Amazon before Amazon got too big for its britches.
Better than most. Very easy to check out as guest.
I really like the bargain buying option. It saved me over $20.00 because I was able to take advantage of free shipping.
Looking forward for book arrival. Nice process so far. Thank you.
I used the weekend $15 coupon, which said free shipping. I feel that was misleading. It appears that free shipping is ALWAYS available with CERTAIN purchases only. It took me forever to find that out. If that's not the case, I didn't find that information. Also, when I removed items from the list, they still showed up. As I recall, I had to update the list, an option that was available only if I scrolled off-screen. There's more, but my mind is so tangled from the experience, I can't remember it all. In a nutshell, I found it very difficult to compare items and go back and forth on your site. And even though I did create an account, I may not order from you again.
Easy to find books, easy to tell the condition, reliable service from anywhere.
Easy to search, good selection, good service from all providers.
I love this site because 9 out of 10 I can always find what I'm looking for at a bargain.
Good # of books on the topic. Decent prices. Fairly easy to navigate site.
You gave me no choice re: saving my payment method.
I prefer to enter it every time. So a yes or no on the saving would be nice.
You have what I was looking for and a reasonable peixw
1. The book I selected was not is stock. It should not be shown if not in stock. 2. when you search for a title it sticks it into key words. I understand. But then it separates search results into different editions etc. It should not do any separation or filtering until done so by the user. I had to look and look just to get 2 paperbacks.
Shopping with alibris is as easy as any other online seller.
You should allow buying more than one copy, especially if the customer is buying from abroad.
