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.

Your site is easy to navigate and offers lots to chose from.
Easy, too easy. I set out looking for one book and got four.
It is always a pleasure to search Alibris's inventory. I have found so many wonderful titles I wish to own or give as gifts. This, James Herriot's 'Cat Stories' will be a gift. By the way, this book is a treasure.
It has been easy to find volumes and cheaper than other retailers.
Excellent online service! I would much sooner support your business than other options for buying books!
Love the ease and the cost, and the fact that they are all from independent and local bookstores
Excellent products. Easy to find. Great prices. Why go anywhere else?
There was a problem with checking out. I received the message "this site can't be reached".
I will always check Alibris before seeking books elsewhere.
I can usually find what I'm looking for. I just wish shipping wasn't so high!
I can always easily find what I am looking for while giving very little information
I had trouble registering in my account. I finally had to use my alternate email account to register.
Otherwise I have had very good experience in the past re my orders through Amazon.
Very hard to order due to problems with password and email. Had to go through the whole process taking about 45 minutes. A real pain!
Always go to alibris first when looking for a book. Never been disappointed in my order quality always great
Shopping in general very good but shipping cost very high at times and too inconsistent (treble from Texas than California to Spain, but Texas is nearer)
Was not going to buy any books because it kept telling me I had to pay shipping. This needs to be made clearer before you get to the final check out.
As a repeat customer, ordering is simple... receiving order not always the same
Alibris offers most books, in good condition, for a great price!
I was looking for a specific book & this came up at the best price. Hopefully they do have the quantity that I want.
