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.

Good pricing and selection but clunky electronic process via iPhone
Quick shipping with previous purchase! Came in great condition!
Very nice. Found on a search and like the alternative for buying books.

Very easy, very practical, no hassle whatsoever.
Thanks
Signed up for coupons but did not obtain for this order.
Unfortunate the shipping cannot be combined for items from same seller.
Books at a reasonable price can't wait to receive my order!
Good and easy to navigate site. Good suggestions which lead to fun discoveries.
Easy to find what I was looking for and to navigate my way to order
You had all the books I was looking for. Thank you!
My only complaint about alibris is that many items do not include a description. Otherwise, I am super happy to have found an online bookstore where I can either splurge on a brand new copy or trade paperback, or be frugal and buy a lesser-priced used book. You even have music and videos. I love it! Also, I am highly satisfied whenever an item is shipped from alibris. Some other sellers are on my "do not buy from again" list. I would appreciate a shipping discount on multiple orders, but I never seem able to arrange my shopping list to get a "bundled" shipping price.
Great, easy, and shout out to bookshop santa cruz for sending me your way
Books were easy to find and at such a great price.
Best site for book seriously. Has the best selection of books at a cheaper price compared to VARIOUS sites and places. Always offers coupons to save even more money. And site is super easy to navigate.
I found what I needed at a very reasonable price. Thank you
When trying to check out as a guest, was told I had already registered (?) and made to 'change' my password. When I returned to Cart, I found it empty! My choices were no longer available. Not good!
I've used Alibris over the years. I've always been happy.
I haven't received my book yet but shopping with alibris was very easy, and they have very good descriptions of the products that you are buying.
It's fine, but going from shipping back to my cart is a nightmare, and even though I opted out of emails when I signed in as a guest, I still got tricked into it when I completed my purchase. Sites that do that are so skeezy
I love Alibris and have for years. I always search here before I look at that other former bookstore.
Good selection, good prices, free shipping with minimum purchase.
