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.

Easy to navigate website, search engine is quick and concise
My order of Order #*******-1 had been cancelled. This is a replacement book, in other words the 2nd time I'm ordering it.
My only complaint would be that I would prefer the book I find to open a new tab or window, so I can go back and forth easily from the search list, looking for specific stores or other information comparisons.
Couldn't apply code since never found where to enter it. Code was display for $15 off.
The process to find what I was looking for was easy, and ordering was a breeze.
Looking forward to good service. I am hoping for the best from Alibris. I am interested in having a good experience.
I found that the manuscript was a photocopy of the same book held by Purdue Library at some point. It was clear it was not an original print but some sort of manipulated photocopy. The text, for my purposes, was fine. I am not sure how this figures in the grand scheme of copyright though!
I used different search parameters and the books I was interested in were top or close to top of the list.
Everything worked. Clear information at each stage of purchase.
Good price! Good layout for product. This rare book is hard to find.
I adore this platform and the selection available. 10/10 experience from start to finish.
You had the books I wanted. Hooray. I had trouble ringing up purchase. My fault. Not computer savvy.
Can't find the book you seek? Let Alibris help you succeed. Type in the title or the author, or even just the subject. Alibris will give you a list of titles that fit the need, describing the condition and the price. Success is yours.
Submitted my review before receiving items. So the process to pay was flawless. If asked once I receive items I'll let you know.
You had what I wanted, process was straightforward, and price was good.
Delivered quickly. Easy to order. Love Alibris. It is a great way to get used or new books.
Had trouble -- a little -- trying to change quantity from 1 to 4.
Almost always find the books I'm looking for and they are always in great shape. Love the selection and the prices.
I almost always find the books I'm looking for. The ones I've ordered have been very affordable and in quite good quality. I love shopping Alibris books!
Excellent website, easy to navigate and secure payment process!
Took a little getting used to the site but everything arrived as expected
