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.

Has a great selection of books that I am interested in.
The site is easy to navigate, and my experiences have been excellent
When I order more than one book, it would be nice if there was an easier way to see if any of the books were from the same seller.
Found what I wanted, fast and easy... now just hoping the books are in the shape promised by vendors
Wish there was an option to put areas closest to you first.
I was surprised at how quick and seamless it was, very good
Very easy to find what we needed. Dealing with (even figuring out) if a source has more than one copy wasn't obvious until I got to the cart, but then, checking back I saw where it is listed. I probably won't remember that til next time, but that's my problem, not yours!
Able to navigate site well. I was able to use the code TEA for my discount but was disappointed I could not use the coupon THANKS as well for first time order.
Surprised at the great variety of choices available. I had't shopped alibris in awhile. This reminded me to keep as my go to for books.
You have options, not just one book. AND, you are not Amazon. Win Win.
I like the ability to search. I wish there was a filter for dvd/blu ray when I am browsing movies.
Sometimes search results come up with different versions of the book, so you need to be careful.
Had trouble finding the place to enter a coupon code
Pleasure to have the ability to buy from America's booksellers. If you find a seller with a five star rating (many have them), you know you are dealing with a shop that loves books, has described a book's condition accurately and will carefully pack your order and ship promptly. We need to keep these booksellers in business!
I love that I can get books for a good price while helping non profits.
Many books that are difficult to find can be found here. The prices are excellent!
It was simple to find, pay and order the book I needed.
Alibris is the greatest! I've never had any issues with the company.
Easy search engine, clean presentation. I just wish there was a sort option so I can have the lower priced books first when browsing.
A tad confusing from start to finish - will see how it works out
As this is first time on site and ordering.
