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.

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!
Always pleased about your inventory and outstanding service.
Easy to navigate and locate what I was looking for and helpful, appropriate, applicable options were pushed forward based upon what I initially selected. I took advantage of one of these.
Easy to place order. Good selection of books that cannot be found elsewhere
Awesomeness! I love how many choices I get for prices when searching for a book and the quality listing is absolutely accurate I really thought this was a scam but it's my fav place to shop!
Have long since referred my reader friends to use your website. Never a bad recommendation yet! D
All is fine except that you charged me 8.38% sales tax on $10.00 and somehow calculated that to be $1.17. Tax is not, may not be, never is charged on shipping costs.
Book was cancelled as part of a large order, when replaced I lost my discount and had to pay shipping. Not fair!
Nice and easy and was awesome to get the book as an ebook.
...
The check-out process was quick and smooth. Thank you!
You found me cheaper used book than I could find looking for myself.
