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 love this website! Its easy to navigate and I almost ALWAYS find whatever I'm looking for, no matter how obscure it may seem
Alibris has always provides a super alternative in buying used books in Good-Excellent condition. Thank You!
I attempted to order this book yesterday, after entering my CC number & code, I lost the screen - the order disappeared, and i had no way of determining if the order had been received by Alibris or had been hijacked. PLUS there was no was to ask for information save writing a USPS letter.
I subsequently re-entered the website and was able to complete the order. I am watching my CC info to be certain my info was not seized by malware.
The book was received. Packaging was EXCELLENT. Arrival quick and painless.

I have used Alibris before, and found it difficult to navigate. Not this time! Much easier and I appreciate the wonderful prices, as well as information regarding shipping. However, I couldn't find descriptions of the books very easily...
It was a bit confusing at first (being new to the site) but then it got easy and enjoyable looking for what I wanted to read. Thanks!

Can always count on Alibris to have books for sale that other sellers do not, e.g., Amazon.
I always pay with paypal. However, today Alibris wouldn't accept my paypal payment, so I had to use a credit card.
Found what I wanted for an excellent price with clear information about the seller's past performance.
The coupon that was supposed to work did not work.
Very easy to find what I was looking for and complete purchase

Website simple and quick. Refreshing to access one with no lag time. Book and shipping price reasonable.
Just ordered for first time, so far it's been great.
Great interface, learned that I have an account with Alibris
I was purchasing a book that was in my cart and by the time I paid for it someone else purchased it. Once it is in a cart you should give someone more time before you release it for someone else to purchase.
This is my first stop for hard to find books! They've never let me down!
You have a very easy way of searching and finding great books at very reasonable prices. Thank you.
Quick and easy. Good communication before books delivery.
I was pleased that you had everything I was looking for at an affordable price
Always Quick and easy ordering. My only complaint would be that that you don't stock all the authors that I like or you only have a few of their books and not all that I would want so I usually have to go to Amazon to get them.
Super easy to find the books I'm looking for with great descriptions of each copy!
