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.

It would be better if the shipping fees were lower for books sold by the same seller—I imagine the shipping cost for them is lower as well since they only need to pay for it once for all the books.

Fast, Easy, Better than expected! Good quality books at Great Prices!
Very simple to find titles. Pleased with availability.
So far every book I have thought of you have had at a fair price. I would recommend you to friends and family.
When displying the various hardcover editions, please indicate prominently why it is distinctive, especially as to language.
Alibris did not have my updated Visa expiration date, which I had updated on my last order. I believe that this had happened one time before as well.
I was very disappointed that an item I desperately wanted (Peter Greenaway's film Drowning by Numbers) was available, but when I went to check out, it was no longer available.
I love Alibris. I always find exactly what I'm looking for.
It was a little un-intuitive trying to figure out how to change my billing address.
Easy to navigate website. No pop-ups, which I was very happy about.
The $5 coupon advertised was only for $35 or greater purchase which is not shown until trying to use.
I was surprised that I could buy a NEW book through Alibris for approximately $1.00 while other sellars only had USED copies.
Very quick and easy. Surprised to find this book still being sold. Awesome!
Easy to use and great selection big books at reasonable prices
The website was easy to navigate. Thank you for your attention to detail and for keeping the user in mind when composing the site.
User friendly with detailed descriptions made it easy for me to find a book that is difficult to locate.
I have used Alibris.com for many years and am very happy with the service I have received.
Items arrived sooner than expected in good shape and according to the descriptions.
