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 don't want to give feedback on a transaction that isn't complete—I've ordered and paid, but in my experience, there's no feedback to give until I receive the item I've paid for.
Easy to use, have used it before to check on books you have to sell
East and quick to find the title, and order! So pleased you had the title! And then I received it what I think was quick timing, although I I did not request nor was it special rush timing. Thank you!
Very good and fast received it faster than thought. Would order from there again.
Books in great shape, just almost like new.
Would have been useful to add to cart for same item. Thanks for having a great selection.
My first order of many books from different sellers. I do appreciate the cart consolidation feature! It is good to cut down on shipping if I can get most or all my requests from one seller.
Ordered from 3 different sellers, all are in good condition. Two were timely in delivery. The last one came a week later.
This site was easy to use and I found titles I could not find anywhere else.
Flexible search capabilities combined with a good inventory
We've used Alibris to purchase books for our students courses over the past 3 years. This is our 4th time ordering and we've always had a great experience!
Quickly placed my order after receiving good information.
Tracking info unhelpful (misleading) w MHI. Goods eventually arrived. Condition of book as advertised, at a good price.
The book I received is new, if it is used it doesn't show... I was thrilled! Thanks, moreover, since it was a gift to a "born again" couple that needs the information to increase their faith!
Found what I was looking for. One of the books I ordered was definitely not in "very good" condition, but rather "good."
It's so easy it is to find and order books from Alibris, and I love the fact that I am supporting independent bookstores.
The books I wanted were available and at a price that made me want to buy them. I recommend to any person reading this post.
The web site is easy to work through. Books and information are nicely together.
The Greek cookbook paperback arrived in good condition as described. It was a good price and shipping was reasonable.
I always seem to find the desired titles. I've been buying from this site for at least ten years. Selection is large, prices nice.
Whenever I need books, alibris us my first choice. Great selection, prices, service.
I can always find what I need at a reasonable. Thank you so much.
Loved the books I got from this seller. They were very quick with shipping and books were as described and at a great price. I recommend.
