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.

We monitor reviews for authenticity
I've always enjoyed browsing and shopping on Alibris, and although I understand the "bargains" re coupons etc etc on offer, I tend to avoid them and find them distracting as I have learned most of these "offers" tend to want credit card details or long periods of time wasted on countless surveys.
I prefer Alibris over Amazon any day! Keep up good work!
I've ordered from Alibris for several years and have always received excellent service and good products.
Easy to find and the availability of other languages is awesome
Great! Found what I was looking for. Need more filters to narrow selections down further. I was hoping by ordering all the books through one seller there would be a break on the shipping. Alas I was wrong.
I wish books had better descriptions or synopsis, as well as photos of the inside of journals and guided books where there is an opportunity to fill in blanks.
I find books, they seduce me, Alibris makes it easier to consummate our relationship. I am very grateful.
Easy to find what I'm looking for. Checkout process is intuitive and efficient.
Your website is misleading or not clear about editions.
Excellent selection, good prices, site is very easy to navigate.
Easy to use, great choices, long time satisfied user -
Last time when I placed an order, there was no tax, but this time suddenly appeared, I don't like this.
Easy to find what I was looking for and better prices than Amazon.
I love buying books from Alibris. Very happy reader!
Easy to navigate, detail easily viewable, dependable sellers.
Good inventory, details and prices. Easy to order.
There were many books on my subject where I can find none in the bookstores. Great finds, I ordered 5!
I was able to find the author and was pleased with the descriptions provided for each book. Condition ratings well defined.
Often look to Amazon for reviews then buy from Alibris. Often much slower but it is more intersting to wonder if something might come today than to expect it like a pill.
Glad to know there's a place to get out of print books!
