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.

My Experience With You Was Grrrreat... Very Easy... Much Appreciated... No Headache... Definitely Buy Again... Looking for Season 7 Thank You!
It was easy. I compared prices with other places n this was less expensive
Super smooth checkout! I was happy to find the book my ND recommended for a much better price than any other online retailer! Thanks!
Overall, a good system. Only issue I had was with the two letter state abbreviation as I left a space at the end which caused the page to not process. Surprised there isn't a drop down menu of states to click on.
Left cart for an about an hour and everything disappeared. I understand its not possible to keep items in cart too long, but I didn't realize they would be gone in such a short time, and with no list of what I'd had in the cart. Shoot. Coupon was misleading. Purchased used books at full price with shipping, which is still a good value for me.
Very User-friendly website and I loved the discount promo code without purchasing anything prior my actual purchase. The BEST of ALL is that the book I purchased was way under the price I was getting through Amazon.com You Guys are the Best! It is good to have alternative. Thank You!
Nice website, good selection and excellent prices.
Find the books I want EVERY time! Easy to use site and all booksellers have been reputable and book conditions as noted. This is now my ONLY go to place for books. Never disappointed!
The Alibris website is extremely easy to navigate!
Order was easy, and I like all of the options you get!
I'd love to have some assistance choosing the best option regarding shipping. It seems each individual book is $3.99 shipping and if I could consolidate that through one or 2 booksellers, perhaps I could avoid paying so much per book. Perhaps you do not wish to optimize that to benefit the individual sellers but I would love it.
Your coupons are deceiving! Then shipping is added for 3 locations! I have been trying to be mindful of how far away the book will travel. I have recommended codes that help very little. I fo not want to always use Amazon! But it comes out cheaper even with free shipping and everything gets there in 2 days! So where is the savings and where is the eco consciousness!?
Your shipping cost is outrageous when buying multiple books.
Quick and easy to shop and find deals! Can finally obtain all my missing manga!
Very easy to find and keep ideas on my list to purchase later.
Overall good experience, could be more mobile friendly.
Good, well-organized, new and used, and shows individual seller ratings.
I always find what I am looking for, and the prices are great.
It was quick and easy to find what l wanted. I like the change of currency button very helpful
