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'm a big fan of Alibrisi. Very seldom doesn't have books I'm looking forward reading
Good experience. Only could find 1 of the 4 books I was looking for,

GOT IT. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO RESPOND TO THIS AS IF I HAD A PROBLEM YOU WOULD HEAR ABOUT IT. 100 CHARACTERS?
I was looking for a specific book. Alibris had it at a great price! Very happy with the purchase! Will definitely shop Alibris again.
Everything in this order look to be as expected. The books were accurately conditioned and were the correct ISBN. Thank you!
Quick and easy process of ordering. Quick delivery given it was US to Canada. Prompt customer service with update on shipment.
I really appreciate that you make shopping easy. I like to quickly and easily view sellers' choices and locations.
Ordered book for my class and arrived just in time to read the material. Book received in great condition!
It's always easy here. I find what I want and usually have many choices.
When I received the book I realized it was all in Latin which I don't remember seeing that notation when I purchased the book. I ended up discarding the book. There were some notations in the back of the book in English but it did not help that much. The service from Alibris has always been good, I used them almost exclusively while I was attending college and never had any issues whatsoever.
Great to find some new books, too bad you can't combine shipping, right?
Best site to find books, especially rarer or out of print editions. Shipping from Alibris is free over $39, and the only thing to watch out for are some unscrupulous third party sellers that list items for low prices, and then charge ridiculous shipping rates that only show up during the checkout process.
I've been using, Alibris off and on for 25 years ever since I discovered them for my college books. They have everything at the best prices I've seen. Instead of Amazon, Alibris is my go to for all books.
I was given a 5 dollar discount for signing up to receive texts but I saw nowhere during the ordering process to enter the discount code. 😥
The cover of the book looks like a huge splash of chemical all over the book cover!, you send out books like this!
The book I ordered arrived before it was expected and was in excellent condition. I will continue to use Alibris for book purchases.
