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.

The products are priced great. Some things here are 90% cheaper than on other sites. Shipping is expensive though.
I ordered a series on dvd and it came a few days faster than it originally said. Funny though the packaging was so long it was like the size of a large sombrero so the mailman had to deliver to my house and not my mailbox
Easy find books that you are looking for. Great pricing. Lots of book to search from.
Great book. Nice condition!. Your site is a thrifty way to shop for books and for music which is what I ordered. I am happy with the book and the condition of the book.
It was a gift for one of John Stephens' descendants. Stephens, an agent of the Freedman's Bureau after the Civil War in North Carolina, was a state senator when he incurred the enmity of the Klan. They lured hi into the basement of the Caswell County courthouse and assassinated him. This began the Kirk-Holden War, which the state government carried out against the Klan in 1870.
I ordered the thirteenth edition of a specific textbook and the eleventh came in. I had a feeling that would happen because the ISBN number and the book description on the website weren't matching. I was willing to take the gamble, and did, in fact, get sent the wrong version of the book. It works well enough for the class I am taking. The delivery timeline was perfect and the book quality is what I expected (if not in better shape than what I was expecting). But yeah. Wrong-ish book.
Ordered a book that my book group is reading. Received it and have read it already. No issues.
Ordered a book that I couldn't find locally. Good price with Alibris and I received it in a few days. No complaints here!
I was recommended to Alibris several years ago and it is always the go to site for hard to find books and those out of circulation. I in turn have referred others also.
Very easy and convenient. Have used Alibris in the past and remain very pleased with the products ordered and the condition in which they arrived.
Affordable. Good alternative to Amazon. Did take longer than I thought it would.
I entered the subject of books I was looking for... and the first two that come up were exactly what I wanted!
I've been an Alibris customer for many years and always been satisfied with this seller.
I've used this website for years and have rarely if ever been disappointed. The selection of books, records, etc. is very, very good. I recommend Alibris wholeheartedly for your book or music search.
Easy to find a used book at a reasonable price and reasonable shipping.
Much better than Amazon, I won't buy books from them anymore.
"Be the change you want to see."
Book ordered on 6/5/25 arrived on 6/14/25, well packaged and in perfect shape.
Great selection of the titles I was looking for at a great price
Every point went smoothly and easily so I would recommend alibris as I have used them before.
I purchase books for my family members who are in school or just want a book at a reasonable price.
They had what i was looking for and i recommend this to others when need be
I have used albris for years and everyone involved has been awesome and efficient. The last brick and mortar HPB for me was in San Marcos, Texas. Closed up shop a few years back and my Payday Friday sanctuary was gone.! Now I have access all over the country. Love this site.
Thank you! The book was in excellent shape and was shipped quickly. A+
Great experience. Quick delivery... good book. Had no problems from ordering to shipping to delivery. Smooth and exceptional
