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.

My message said $10 coupon off $45 or higher. I was given $3 off on a $50 purchase. I don't understand that but am ok with it so I ordered anyway.
Wow, thank you for offering this wonderful book for such an incredible book!
I have used Alibris for years and have always been happy with their service. The books have always been as good as the condition listed and often in my opinion better than listed.
Easy way, I've found, to locate and buy books online.
Easier to pick up the phone and call a human being
The site asks for a credit card # before taking off the shipping costs, which is unnerving. I contacted customer service, which takes up my time & yours.
I could not find expedited shipping on some choices for the same book
The ordering and check out process was user friendly.
Quick and easy. Found a book I've really been wanting at a much better price than 2 other online bookstores.
OK Wish the coupon would apply to less than $50 purchases.
Awesome experience except for one thing: I tried to change default currency displayed in mobile site on my phone but it wouldn't "take." It stayed at US currency. Desktop version of the website on my PC defaults to my currency which is convenient.
Easy to manage website, lots of choices and great prices!
I looked for this book on Amazon and found it listed at $13.90. I paid $5.00 for it here. Thank you, Alibris!
You had what I was looking for plus you made it so easy for me to spend money on books I didn't know I needed.
Found what I was looking for and website was easy to use. Plus my wife Shelley was one of the original employees shortly after Alibris was founded in 2000
I am grateful for this site, books are easy to order and I receive them in a timely fashion
Love the opportunity to buy books at great prices, but wish there were better shipping discounts when purchasing from the same vendor. I'm a special education teacher and the price of the books is great and they are really needed for my classroom, and there are tons of amazing books for $1 that my kids need but can't afford the shipping, especially when each book is charged even when coming from the same vendor.
Wish shipping was less. I often get a "discount" promised but I don't get it because of too little spent. Like a tease.
1st time using your service; efficient processing, thank you
I found what I was looking for quickly and easily and the check out was fine!
