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.

Received my book without inconvenience to my post office box on Chiloé Island, although delivery lasted almost one month
Seller very good, followup survey reveals you can't search an order by date. Site jabber is who now?
I am very satisfied with all the books in my order. But, one of my books was cancelled with no explanation.
The book is in excellent conditions and delivery was very fast. Thank you
Excellent! Great prices and quality of books is very reliable and consistent with the rating.
On time, in good shape. Don't have much else to say. I like this site and service, it's why I keep using it. Thank you.
Easy to follow... very good experience. I experienced awesome customer satisfaction.
The calculations for the shipping charges is confusing and misleading. I ordered multiple books from the same seller and there was very little disscount on shipping. Very disappointing.
Very satisfied w the seller and the book. Very dissatisfied w alibris (can'thold that against the seller. They get 5 stars, alibris gets1)
Great. Received book in timely fashion. Also received notice that order was received and book was shipped. Voila! Great service.
When I have a hard to find item that I'm looking for, I go straight for Alibris. I never have an issue with them and usually receive my items within a reasonable time frame. I choose Alirbis over Amazon.
Alibris is always an easy shopping experience especially for hard to find items.
The website was easy to navigate, and for about $3 each, the books are in great condition! I highly recommend this site to anyone who prefers to buy used items instead of feeding the capitalist machine. Cheers!
Easy transaction. Very good experience. Book was exactly as described, perhaps even better. Well packaged. Thank you!
Was offered a discount but I could not get it applied to my order.
All went smoothly but I refrain from the highest rating until I meet this book. I am always a bit wary of a book that is "like new" when posted as "new."
Got it!……………………………what else can I ask for?
I wlll probably order from here again.
Thank you
The two books that I purchased (Genesis and Century of the Wind) from HPB-Ruby were much more damaged and in much poorer condition than the "very good" condition advertised. In case of Century of the Wind, a large portion of the paper on the spine was torn. The other book had some internal markings that were not advertised. I am very disappointed by the service provided by HPB-Ruby, and I will not be ordering from them again. 1 star for HPB-Ruby. On the other hand, the book by the Maryland Book Bank was in exceptional condition and just as good as advertised. I am very happy with the Maryland Book Bank's service for which I would give 5 stars.
Great deals always on books. Using it after a long time again
I love alibris 😍 the books are always in great shape, ya cant beat the prices..
My experience was just as expected—easy to complete the purchase and i received my order quickly, without a lot of added expense for shipping.
This vendor was cheaper than other vendors, and the book arrived promptly. I liked the paper packaging that is easily recycled.
