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.

I have been using Alibris now for over 20 years and it has been my go to book store. Before I purchase a book, I find the most essential information on your site to make a smart book choice every time.
Good user interface, easy to use, can search for what you want and pulls up more than one source is found, will shop here again
Great selection, great prices, happy to be getting used books and supporting good folks. Thank you!
The site did not hold my order for 12 hours as it said it would. I had to go through and order all over again. The search bar did not find the books I wanted, though they were in the system. The shipping is very expensive
It is nice to be able to find what you are looking for quickly, and the prices are reasonable
I have found great deals at the website and I am glad that I found it. I plan to do all of my book shopping here.
Web site is always easy to navigate and check out with ease!
Would like to know where items are shipping from in its description.
Ordering is quick and easy and books generally arrive within a week or so.
I always have a bit of problem at check out to get the Free shipping etc to come off the total. GAM
I'm in love with this site! It's super easy to use and I've found a lot of great deals! A total 10/10! If you're looking to build your manga collection on a budget, I would definitely suggest looking through here.
I couldn't figure out how to remove my sister's
Alaska address from mailing addresses. She died a month ago. Also i didn't understand that the books eligible for getting over the free shipping limit had to come from a certain list. And was there 15% off as email indicated?
ALSO - HOW DO I CHAGE MY EMAIL ADDRESS WITH YOU?
A temporary website issue lost all of the information in "my Cart" and I had to completely start over.
Alibris makes shopping relatively painless and usually has books I can't find from other sellers at reasonable prices.
Wish the discount option didn't have such high teaser purchase requirements.
Felt uncomfortable with the way the free shipping is displayed on checkout, didn't register until after I entered my credit card info.
Easy to navigate. Information provided makes it easy to select best options for the purchaser. All dealers seem top notch and honest to a fault, in their descriptions.
Shopping was quick, easy, and I found exactly what I wanted for a great price.
Obscure and much desired novels for inexpensive prices
