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 have always enjoyed being able to find what I'm looking for.
Wonderful resource for finding obscure titles, as well as current. And support small Booksellers!
I love the site. It could be a little easier to navigate in regards to free shipping items.
Amazing but could use a way to get cheaper shipping like how amazon prime does it
After i received shipping confirmation I then get another notice like3 days later it was cancelled because item was not available!
Super easy to find the books I want at the prices I need.
In general the hyperlinks do not work. Must go back and forth many times to get the order form to accept information. A waste of my time and effort.
Coupons should be applied to total cost including shipping.
I've always been able to find a great variety of books using Alibris.
I absolutely love this site! Fast, and user friendly
Easy to sign up. Great to search across other sites and find best price
Streamlined process and had what I was looking for at several price points and conditions...
Unable to get my password accepted. Advice, please.
I just bought a book through the "go fetch" option, and was surprised how quickly I got multiple replies! Thanks Alibris!
Very quick process, will see how the shipping goes.
Prices are fair, I have been disappointed before and received books which were obviously library books, but had not been described as such.
Awesome, but I wish you would show the shipping costs before getting to the final pay page!
Shopping was quick and easy. I found exactly what I was looking for on the site.
So far so good.
Your website is easy to get around in and understandable to a novice online shopper
Good experience overall. At first I didn't understand the thing about the truck icon--that only certain books count when qualifying for free shipping and savings--that's kind of a pain--but otherwise good.
