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.

I was able to find something which seems to be scarce at this time.
Depending on the sellers they can be a little slow on shipping, but I have never had a problem not receiving my orders.
I always find what I want a a great price and in great condition.
Always have the books I'm looking for with several different options. Have ordered from here before, and everything was just as stated.
The format in which books are listed (condition, location, shipping cost, etc) is very helpful.
Easy to search, easy to find your targeted interest. Overall great site... so far.
If you are a nurse student you know how expensive books can be. I was happy to see they had an a book a needed so I wasted no time at all. But I bought the ebook version thinking on printing the pages I needed. Big Huge mistake! They advertise saying that they will return your money if you are not satisfied and have 14 days after buying to process the return.
Well I bought the ebook. I printed a page and it came with a HUGE sign that says Do not copy. Written all over.
I can't even read the book.
So in less than 10 minutes after buying it contacted them and explained. They said Sorry for the inconvenience but there is nothing they can do. They refer me to contact someone else and the response was exactly the same.
So I lost my money and had to buy the book somewhere else.
Do yourself a favor and keep your hard earned money and go spend it somewhere else.
Was pleasantly surprised finding the exact book I was looking for and at a great price. Thank you!
So often I find books on Alibris that I can't find elsewhere. It is easy to use and I like that I can use Pay Pal so my information isn't elsewhere.
Easy to find what I wanted. Easy to check out. Reasonable shipping and handling.
Need easier way to continue shopping after you view shopping cart.
One order cancelled and when I choose an alternative have to pay as if ordering new no refund for purchase and shipping from the first time … will nit use you agai
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
