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.

First attempt at ordering DVDs. Found what I was looking for--easy to select.
Quick, easy, and with accurate descriptions. I love Alibris!
I haven't received my book yet, but finding and paying for it was easy.
This isn't the book which I ordered. I ordered his 2021 book, not this earlier book.
IT was incredibly difficult to change the billing address. I added a shipping address and somehow that became the billing address and I tried to change it several times. The last time it had a different way to change it and it worked. I almost broke down and went to Amazon. Now I see how long I wait for the books...
Simple and easy! But I was a little confused on how the free shipping worked. I wish there was something that easily let me know that I had to go onto the Review portion of the purchase in order to select free shipping.
Less the book collector than I once was, still, when I want something very specific I turn to Alibris. Always worthy. Always fun!
I really want to pay more to ensure I receive by Friday 10
When I put in my original password, the site would not take it though it did the first time I ordered anything and set up my information. I had to change to a different password. This is very frustrating. Now I wonder if it will happen the next time I send in an order...
Liked that it went from cheapest available to most expensive
For starters very good, and a fantastic
Choice of prices! From here, choice is ours! Thank you!
I like not having to create an account to purchase, but can choose to use the guest checkout.

Never heard of this company before... hoping my book comes...
The last book I ordered fell apart. It was by Flannery O'Connor. I called about and said they would credit me on next order. I didn't see this refeltied on my order today.
This site is the greatest in order to find out of print books.
It would be nice to get discounted shipping for multiple items.
Alibris is the best place to find great books, my little personal library wouldn't exist without it.
Shopping what easy. I wish there were more options on the shipping
I haven't had any issues finding the books I want. I would like if the sellers could post actual pictures of the books so I can confirm the edition, quality, if it's still in a plastic seal, etc.
