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.

Got it. Don't like your shipping when amazon ships for free.
I love Alibris.com! I can always find what I'm looking for at a great price.
Not easy to get the most discounted books. Superb used books at fantastic prices for family with few resources.
Site is great, there needs to be a more transparent way to see shipping costs though.
Annoying. Prefer to complete order before answering a survey.
This is my first order. I'm trying it out. Hopefully, I'll receive the book in great condition in a timely manner since the class has already begun. :)
Good hard to spot hb vs pb editions but otherwise ok
Was easy to find the books I was looking for. Service was great.
Alibris has become my favorite place to buy books!
Nice organization of books from cheapest to most expensive with quality ratings made it
Easy to choose. The color pics are excellent. It took a bit to grasp the variance of shipping costs, so I reduced my generous list this time, but, not being discouraged, I shall
Be back for more Jane Austen.
I thought my Alibris order #******* covered this book and 2 more. That charge was for
$16.75. I had ordered 3 books. But now I see that I may not have actually ordered the Chinese Herbalist, but did now, today, here. I need to touch bases with someone about the 3 books I have ordered now. *******@yahool.com and *******046 EST.
I'm buying second time, I like shopping in here
Thank you
Overall good but one item never got to me but they responded quickly and waiting for a refund
Coupon offered but no place to enter code at checkout.
I found what I was looking for quickly and easily; however, I wish the sort function allowed for topics AND genre types so that I could search more easily as I am trying to build a stronger, more diverse classroom library.
I don't want to be on ANYMORE mailing lists. I signed up for a free $5 coupon, but it didn't cover the books already in my cart.
Easy, but I have no idea where my book is coming from.
It was simple to search through your catalog and find the items I wanted. There are other items I am also interested in which I will look for in future.
Quick and easy to find the book I need. I especially like the description of the used book condition.
Finding items eligible for free shipping was ridiculously difficult. Please make it easier to filter books by subject AND free shipping. Thank you.
