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.

Book I ordered came quickly and in great condition. Great to have this little gem of a classic. Thank you.
Shipped quickly and arrived in the condition as described. This sentence (apparently) does not meet the minimum required characters for a description of experience so I am typing another sentence.
I LOVE Alibris! Shipping costs can seem a little high at first but even with that you usually get a GREAT deal!
Excellent. Book arrived within a week. Sadly this isn't always the case. The last book I ordered took almost a month to arrive.
Exactly as described and on time, HERE'S SOME EXTRA TEXT TO PUT ME OVER 100 CHARACTERS, please stop haranguing me to review now.
I could not get it into my cart on Chrome browser yesterday. I sent three requests for help, one was refused. The other two were answered this morning. One suggested using a different browser. The other was more complicated.
Very reliable seller who sells quality books at a very sale price. Highly recommended. I've purchased from seller many times in the past and have always been happy.
With Alibris I was able to quickly find the book I was looking for and check out in a matter of two minutes. Amazing!
The book was shipped very quickly and was exactly as described. I'm very pleased with Alibris and will order from them again.
Quick way of finding the books you want especially out of print material. You can even find new books for less.
I have yet to have an issue with Alibris. A great way to find the books I want. Even with shipping charges, my overall cost is more often less than purchasing new. Highly recommend checking them out!
Received all 7 of my books for school reading in great condition and in time for my classes! I was impressed that the prices and availability of obscure titles was better than any other used book site I've found.
Got an out-of-print textbook that was still in the shrink wrap. Shipping was fast, and it arrived within a week. So excited for this find!
I want to order multiple things from one place to combine shipping, but i'm not actually sure if that works or if the amount just gets doubled/tripled. If it does work, it isn't easy to figure out.
Really like the breadcrumbs during checkout that show a shipping/payment/review, so I know I get a review before final submission. However, I went back and forth a few times trying to figure out shipping b/c it doesn't show how shipping is applied to which books until the very end, and I wanted to see that earlier on.
Received the book in a timely matter. Packaged well and the book itself, though bought used, was in very good condition. So glad I chose this site and seller.
I was not sure if this was hardback or paperback. I received a paperback copy. I would have preferred a hardback. I will check closer next time.
Easy peasy, found what I was looking for! I will use this seller again.
Easy to use. New to this vendor. Glad to find another source of used books.
Great selection, affordable prices, easy-to-use website.
Hope my book arrives soon! And is in good condition. OK, I don't appreciate this; I don't know if I want to write one till I see my order.
I received my order promptly and as described. Alibris followed up to make sure I was satisfied. That's good customer service.
Great books for an unbelievable price. Four books for $27 including shipping and handling.! What a deal. Thank you.
