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.

I found what I was looking for, and I am very happy!
Shipping cost seemed high, why couldn't the books be consolidated in one shipper and send in one box?
Very much enjoyed the ease it was to search and buy out of print books. Would definitely use this website again!
I love buying books while avoiding Amazon at all costs. Thank you for having such a wide selection of new & used books.
I got what I needed and it was simple. Thankyou Donna
Best price on the hard-to-find item I just purchased. So glad!
I've shopped often at Alibris and have always been quite happy with the experience. No difference today.
Got confused at first, but found my way. Easy and comfortable
Always a great experience! Fast, easy, no hassle. Thanks.
It was easy until I tried to give 5 stars and it would not let me
Was great. Found what I was looking for in a short time.
I did not get an opportunity to use a discount that was sent to me via email?
Alibris is one of those rare online stores that always has everything you're looking for (and I don't necessarily look for popular books).
This is my first time shopping here. I got the name of your business through a friend who was recommending this book to me and she also told me where she got it from. I usually order from amazon, but I know some folks want to avoid them, so I thought I'd try you. Once I registered, I thought that would allow me to see shipping charges along with the other info. About each book. It wasn't there. I would make that suggestion, if you can do it. It's very helpful in choosing the most economical book. Thank you! Terry
I use alibris any time I want to order books; they are resourceful and trusted!
I always find the best rates on Alibris, 90% of the time items are packed well. Also enjoy the free shipping option.
Well, I ordered 6 books in Large Print, but when I got to checkout, there were THREE of them no longer in large print. This is most distressing. My wife needs Large pRINT AND i CAN'T COUNT ON ALIBRIS TO HELP ME.
The information is displayed sufficiently. I am surprised at the cost of shipping. $13 for two pounds of books is steep.
