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 was able to easily locate the books being sought, with used versions at great prices.
Your inventory is impressive and I love all the options given for book editions.
Would not accept the credit card i wanted to use. It works everywhere else. The billing address is correct but denied for that reason.
I found what I was looking for at a affordable price.
Would appreciate seeing on confirmation page the book's condition (book is used) and from where it's shipping. Condition is particularly important in case the book seems to have more wear, etc. than described.
Put item in cart, went to check out. Item gone and not available by dollar amount chosen. Of course only more expensive (total order)version available now.
Have been very pleased with the items I have gotten from you.
Thank You
Please stop defaulting the currency based on my billing address. Let me choose. I nearly paid way to much as I didn't see you had flipped the default back to £s. Seriously it is not a plus.
I am happy with my shopping experiences with Alibris.
So far so good; appreciate your reasonable prices, including shipping.
Great prices, easy to use, Always have the books I want.
I entered the coupon code but didn't get it. Had to pay full amount. Very bad.
Everything is great except the shipping. I guess the trick is to buy from one seller.
I love their cooking show. They make me want to explore my Italian heritage.
I hope I finally found a comic set that offers all the books that I want
Love the quality of books I receive. Have told many co-workers and family about your site.
I bought a book called On Bull$#*! for my mom, but I didn't encounter any bull$#*!. That's good, in my estimation.
Easy to find the book I wanted hard cover used was 1.26 shipping reasonable at 3.99
Easy to navigate site and find what you're looking for.
I would like to be able to edit the cart while checking out after seeing shipping charges. Also, the "optimizer" suggested changes which included different boos than the one I was ordering. I love the idea, but it would make more sense if you could choose which changes to make.
