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.

Great choice but shipping is too high. I have nothing more to say.
Easy thank you! And prices, books that I needed. Thank you again
The book arrived in great condition. The packaging was secure and it arrived on time.
Very quick and simple. I only needed one book and found it quickly.
I loved the cart optimizer. I was trying to consolidate buyers but the optimizer did better and way faster than I ever could
I was offered a coupon on a future Alibris purchase for $5.00 to help defer the cost of return shipping. If I was returning an item I no longer wanted that would be one thing. In this case however it was not in the condition described at all. Just an annoying experience all around. Amazon at least doesn't charge me to return when its shipped to me by amazon.
Excellent service. The book looks like new, thank you so much.
Appreciate the straightforward no pressure process used by other online vendors
I have had all good experiences with this website & have been using them for 10+ years. So appreciate the access you give me to books!

Great experience, and great customer service. Would do business again!
I easily found what I was looking for and was able to buy it quickly without trouble.
Alibris always has great prices. The problem I have had in the past is that sometimes the book arrives damaged in transit. I'm keeping my fingers cross that my books will be well packaged enough to arrive intacted.
Great Prices more often than not better than amazon. Great selection. Coupons available.
I've been ordering from Alibris for years and always have had a good experience.
