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.

Hard to find book at a great price. Love you guys!
I love alibris. I have always found everything I wanted... some took a little time but always came up -- at a reasonable price.
I'll know more when the book is received, but for now the experience was very satisfactory
Simply amazing and ridiculously affordable. I love it!
Always easy to find good used books. And after reading a book from a particular author, I like to order their other titles.

Always easy to find good used books.
More economical than other websites thank you very much
Easy breezy! Less expensive and more availability than competitors.
Site is easily navigable and shipping is reliable.
Just as easy as Amazon, and I'm about done with Amazon. I'm trying to wean myself off of Amazon. I try to buy from Etsy, or directly from sellers' websites.
The descriptons on why some bookd cost more are extremely similar and is it not easy to understand whyI should pay more. Use bullet point format to emphasize features.
I would like a "continue shopping" option after I look at my cart. It was cumbersome to get back to a page where I could order another book.
I always find the book I'm looking for & at a very reasonable price.
Full list of Pagnol books in French and Enlish and ability to sort by condition.
Well done!
All the books I've ordered have come when expected, and in the condition they were ordered in!
I've been using Alibris for over 10 years now and I love it buuuuut I feel like sellers aren't being as transparent about the actual condition of their books now. I've received quite a few books that don't match their description in the past few months; which is disappointing for someone looking to cut down on book waste by buying used books. I expect them to come as described and when they don't I then have to buy ANOTHER one and wait for weeks for that one and hope it comes as described. Sellers need to be held more accountable or need a refresher on how to categorize book conditions.
I don't understand why shipping costs cannot be combined when multiple items are shipping from the same place.
So easy to search and find books. Love that I can see the publication date so I know I am getting "newer" books.
Found everything I was looking for and at a great price!
