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.

Lots of options for the book I wanted. Website great for book shopping.
Awesome prices and good quality books. Good service
There are plenty of online second-hand bookstores but none of them matches Alibris. My go-to site every time.
Bought the same book on 2 other websites but the one I ordered on alibris came earlier. Prices on other stores are very high conpared to here. I highly recommend it if you live in california because it is delivered faster here (if you buy directly from the seller alibris and not from the other sellers on alibris)
Order was very quick and easy. Many options.
Needed to know how you shipped usps, ups, fedex and could not get anyone to answer the phone number on contact.
So far great! I'm a little worried because the seller only gets one star, but I can't afford the $200+ price most sites are charging for this book. Hopefully I'll luck out and finally own the book I've been searching for, for far too long!
I really like the access to hard to find books on your site. I just wish there was a way to negotiate Shipping costs or pay one price up front then get free shipping for a year or so?
Alibris offers such a wide variety of used products at a great price. It can be difficult to find the right vendor, but most of my experiences with Alibris have been positive and keep me shopping here.
I have never had trouble before, but it took 4 tries to get my card number accepted. I am sure it was just a glitch.
Just placed my first order, the site was very easy to use and the book recommendations based on what I placed in my cart were very helpful.
Cart kept emptying. Also had to enter username over and over. Was frustrating...
They were less expensive and they were new and the better part was that the shipping is free.
This site is easy to navigate and offers first rate material.

Thanks for the great books and the information on each and great prices
Excellent method of purchasing and receiving books
Never book a book from you, but the checkout process is nice and straightforward
When an item is no longer available it is listed at the top of the cart, but if I have multiple items and remove one the page resets and the list changes order. It should stay in the same order because its confusing to see which item to check next and remove.
Would of be nice to received my coupon that was sent in my email and not had to look for one... Been receiving emails for years...
