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 love alibris. Easy to find homeschool and leisure books at great prices
Still my favorite site for buying books. Convenient, easy to use, lots of sellers available, and generally great service
Always love shopping here, I've been a customer for 20+ years
Happy to find both books at the same thrift book store in Maryland.
Books arrived in a timely manner and in good condition. Everything was as described. Will definitely be buying more books in the future. Thank you.
It's fine! I will be really fine if I get the book in new shape.
Item was as described and arrived in a timely manner. The books arrived in excellent condition. Shipping costs were reasonable.
Book was as described and arrived in a timely manner. The price was right.
Alibris usually has what I am looking for. Prices and shipping are fair.
I could easily choose between listed items and find one shipped from a nearby state so it might reach me sooner.
Always a consistent and expedient acquisition of books from these guys! My typical goto for hard to find books. Solid, protective packaging and book quality usually exceeds description.
Thanks again.
Overall great, good prices. Wish they advertised more when they have coupons available, and the "cart optimizing" where you can save on consolidated shipping etc. is very fidgety, don't like that it only works -sometimes-. Still good deals with the hefty shipping, happy to get some books that are hard to find on my own.
Not bad, but the 3 books received have damage marks on them; inadequate packaging, esp. One arrived in a super this plastic 'bag'. Not a good way to ship books which will be passed on to children.
I have been a shipper since 1984; I learned my lessons during the '80s. No damage since.
I have used Alibris for many years and have always found wha I what and more.
My order was canceled because no book was available. However, I have not received any notice of a refund.
Great as usual. (Separately: requiring 100 characters in this space is a deterrent to filling it out. I want to leave quick, efficient feedback - doesn't need 100 characters - when pressed for time I'll juts ignore it)
Great as usual! I always go to Alibris before any of the giant vendors. (The only thing I don't like is having to fill 100 characters here - it's enough to say "great")
Fast delivery of books which were well priced and in the condition as advertised/promised. One of my "regular" book sources.
Excellent. Books are easy to find and order. Shipping cost is minimal.
Good so far. First purchase with this company. The order process was simple and streamlined.
Quick and easy, would like a little more info on size of cookbooks. This is my defiantly go to place for books and more
Si far so good but I don't like to have to go through a survey to make a purchase. Thank you
The order came within the timeframe provided by the seller. The book was exactly as described by the seller. I would buy from this seller again.
The website is easy to use and has a good variety of books at reasonable prices.
