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 had a lot of trouble with checkout on this order. It was frustrating.
I return time and again! Previous used book purchases from other sellers will sometimes arrive without dust covers. Not via Alibris. Easy to use website. Check out automatically suggests the same item from a different location to consolidate shipping. Love my hard covers. Thank you.
I save the Alibris name to remember where to book shop! Always manage to find which author and titles I am looking for. Good pricing, always good condition hard covers. Thank you.
I can always find the books I want, often decades old titles, at a great price from Alibris. Reliable.
All good. I'm very happy with the service I get from Alibris. Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada.
Was very happy to find stock on an item that had been out of stock at all the usual retailers.
Not knowing shipping up front is a bit misleading. Shipping ended up being more than the books!
Wonderful book in perfect condition though "used" well packed came speedily
I'm thrilled
Don't know why I always chose Alibris - it might be the good prices, ease of checkout, thorough description of what you are getting - but its fully satisfactory.

I have always found the book I'm looking for!

Thanks for not being owned by Amazon. I hope you're not owned by someone else heinous!
Ordered a used book and it was in like-new condition. There was not a mark on the book. Very pleased and it saved money versus new.
I love your products and your service. You always have what I'm looking for.
From Google search to check out, less than 3min!
I do think, however, the shipping could be cheaper via media mail.
Reasonable price, quick shipping, decent quality of used book
Fast easy simple to find and checkout.
Live long and prosper 🖖
Your website is easy to use and I usually find more than what I am looking for! Thank you for offering an option besides Amazon.
Many sellers have no idea of what ABA designations (GOOD, VERY GOOD, etc.) mean, but that's not your fault.
Great service and will always use Alibis it is the best company
This is the third time in less than 24 hours that I am trying to order this title. It seems to not be available. They put a new copy said to be available into my cart and I order it only to find it is canceled.
Easy to find and check out. Quick checkout. Easy to navigate.
I go to alibris for old and used books that I want and they frequently have what I want at a reasonable price and the delivery happens as promised.
