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.

Great selection of books, great prices and there are always coupons!
Shipping cost were supposed to be free if over 40$ and I got charged. That's messed up!
Quick and easy; the ratings on the available objects were helpful
I can always find older decent books I cannot find elsewhere.
I always com back to alibris when looking for a used book!* *
Everything was so easy to find. Pages were user friendly. Love the variety
Shopping with alibis was fast, easy, and they had exactly what I was looking for.
I wish the sellers could provide more info on the books they have for sale, as well as come photos of the book. This should be doable.
Irritated with shipping rates; mislead about shipping rates until you are about to pay
Fast, secure purchase of book I need. Thanks, Alibris!
Overpriced... I don't like Amazon, but I need an alternative that doesn't cost more.
You need to give me more time to shop before you delete everything I have in my cart.
I thought I would get a shipping discount if I bought multiple books from the same seller, but so far that has never happened. It seems a shame to order 5 books from the same seller, knowing media mail is so inexpensive, and then still pay $3.99 shipping for each volume I order.
The ordering process was easy and fast providing many options to buy. We'll see how the shipping works out.
I found a lot books that I think will be very useful at great prices.
You are shipping this book from the UK to me in the same UK. I am disappointed that you charged me an international rate.
Great easy to find book and order. Hope it arrives in time for great-grandson's birthday
Had to repeat finding books and adding to cart when I couldn't find old password. Honestly, the site should remember what is in the cart
Excellent site, only concern is a possible delay. Last year shipping had a delay and books arrived one month after classes starded.
Really easy to find what I was looking for, good pricing too!
