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.

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.
Books are surprisingly cheap and the free shipping makes the entire experience way better that shopping anywhere else
I've always enjoyed purchasing books through Alibris. I can afford to indulge my favorite hobby, reading, thanks to this site.
Annoying that I had to un-check the coupon / newsletter option twice during checkout.
Shipping charges should show on the main web page, or in the shopping cart WHILE YOU SHOP, not at the end.
I enjoy being able to help other libraries besides my own.
Its wonderful to find a quick and easy Amazon alternative!
Easy shopping and low prices for books in good condition
Some difficult/confusing changing billing and shipping address
