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.

Really easy to find what I was looking for, good pricing too!
Thanks for clarity and ease of use, along with strong listings.
It has been several years since I last made a purchase on Alibris, and I have to say this most recent purchase experience went much smoother and faster than I expected.
A little uneasy that it may show up as a paperback. Although it didn't say that it was a paperback, it only said hardcover once in the process, and these days, you can never be too sure. 4 stars due to lack of feeling secure in the purchase.
I have been away for some time but I'm back because Alibris is still the best new and used book store I have shopped at.
I love how easy it is to find out-of-print books at reasonable prices.
Nice they offered more similar used books at good price.
I like that you gave me an option for a cheaper purchase.
Easy to place order. Hopefully shipping is fast too
Great, I just hope my package will arrive on time.
Quick find and good description of book condition.
Finding the book was fine. I am wondering why you charge tax on the shipping and handling. Actually when I liiked up the book it said it was eligible for free shipping.
A terrific combination of titles, conditions, and prices for all types of books.
I get almost all of my books from Alibris. You do a wonderful job. But I have an older car and would like to search for books on cassette. I dont seem to be able to do this. How can I make clear that I want Cassettes?
The search was a little wierd. I might get nothing under the title, but then find the same book under the author.
Easy to find what I'm looking for, easy to check out. UI is easy to navigate. I'd like to be able click on book images and have them enlarge so I can read them better.
I like the layout of your website. Everything is very clear.
Very good UI and excellent descriptions of books. Many thanks!
Easy site to use, found the book I was looking for and saved money. Win win!
