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.

You had what I wanted in stock!
It was confusing that you offered "California" when you wanted CA.
Check out sucks. Cant retrieve and old password from 20 years ago. Cant use Apple pay.
I've been a satisfied customer with Alibris for years and I tell my friends to buy there books on Alibris. It's amazing to have such an enormous network of new and used bookstores across the nation. I can almost always find what I'm looking for, in print and out of print, at a price I'm happy with. I easily ordered a book for my mother published in the 1950's. It's a fantastic resource. I'm a regular customer and really appreciate your service!
$5 could not be applied. It felt like a bait and switch. Shipping cost are not upfront but I had already spent time on the order. Next time I will choose Amazon, they have free shipping.
Almost always have a fine collection of books I am seeking.
Always a positive experience
Easy to locate the item I wanted, good price and check out system. Also I liked that I could review my order at the end of the process. Thank you.
The alibris sight is user friendly and the products are as described.
Easy, relatively non-invasive checkout process. I approve.
I was happy to find my textbook and not have to wait a week or more to receive it in the mail, check out was super easy will definitely use this vendor again.
As a first time customer, it was very easy to navigate through the process.
I will be back for more.
Very good and easy way to shop for and buy a good used book!
Excellent selections available, reasonable pricing, reliable (a return customer)
Fair pricing, easy to use app, coupons offered, and relatively timely delivery.
I wound up paying just as much by the time the inflated shipping was processed than I would have paid anywhere else. It looks like when one orders from the same company, they could have a cap... I cut my order a lot.
I could not find this book available anywhere else online. Thank you so very much for stocking this most basic of all American Writings.
Easy-to-use website, no waiting around for it to respond.
I got two of the 3 books I wanted at a discount. But the 3rd, by the same author, was not listed for free shipping.
Never been to this site before but I will looking for other artists in the future.
