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.

Same books as Amazon but your don't have the Amazon "baggage".
The interface was confusing when I went to look at the books in my cart. I accidentally ended up in the booksellers' shop.
A few places I got stuck without knowing where to click next. Particularly from Check Out, no link to go back to Cart, but just back-paging worked fine. Otherwise, nice and smooth. I like the simple, clean style too.
So easy to buy from your site. You really are bad for my wallet! :)
I love this site I always end up buying more than I planned on...
Even after adding in shipping the Alibris price is less than Amazon's with their "free" shipping that requires a hefty annual fee
I like always finding a good selection of the title book I am looking for.
Not real sure what is happening with my late order?
I had to add my books to the cart 3 times before I was able to check out. Each time I went to pay, it kicked me out of the payment section and said my cart was empty. I waited a couple hours before trying it again for it to work.
I like that I was able to use a coupon with free shipping... but that was the only way I was able to beat amazons prices... which i would rather not use.
I always find what I need on your website. Great prices and easy to order.
As long as my card is secure, it will continue to be favorable
Placed several Free Shipping items in my cart to total over $50, but final price did not reflect any shipping charge reduction. So I took them out and will look on Amazon.
Fair price, great free shipping option, and coupons!
There were many options for each book and the website was very easy to use! I'll be back.
Very good. I didn't know why my free shipping didn't show up when I checked my order, but it came through when I placed my order, so I was happy!
Items for which I searched were efficiently found.
Alibris is great. A vast storehouse of books, many of which are otherwise hard to find.
