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.

Easy to order, book was in excellent condition, and shipping was prompt without problem!
So far that experience I have had with Alibris is good. It was quick & easy to purchase the item I was looking for.
I tried to order two copies of the same book but was unable to. Could the algorithm include information ab9ut the number of copies available?
They are amazingly efficient; their books are in great condition, better than advertised; the prices are wonderful.
Alibris always does a great job with every aspect of the process. From finding the book to the checkout process.
Website works well. Easy to find titles. Prices are competitive with other online stores.
Gave wide choice of book sellers, selling same book different prices!
So satisfying to find the Paul Theroux books! Alibris made it easy
Good service - book in great condition. I am glad I ordered from Alibris.
It would be nice to have different shipping options. USPS was a little slow

I buy lots of books for research, school, and personal use. I ordered 12 books and received them in a timely fashion in great condition. The cost was roughly 75%less than what I would have purchased on Amazon or B&N.
Despite coming from 5 locations across the country, they were grouped and arrived at the same time.
Offered code READ545 not allowed at checkout, no free shipping though over amount to receive free shipping and no live phone person in your system to straighten it out. But thank you, Albris, for offering these needed items! 👍
Alibis had the best price for this book, which is Spain by Rick Steves.
Shipping price was reasonable, shipping time was a little longer than I expected. The wrapping of the book was negligent, the cover and a few front pages were severely damaged.
There was writing in ink on numerous pages, contrary to the condition description in the listing, which explicitly said there would not be writing on the pages.
I'm so glad I found you! I'm a Southern Belle who loves books! This is perfect for me because I can save money and buy MORE!
Bye bye honey,
Maria

Easy to find title and condition of book. Never diappointed with incorrect description of defects on cover, spine or pages.
Always good prices and new books are actually NEW. Help support small bookstores with ALIBRIS.
Quick easy lowest priced item I was looking for. Stephen Colbert's cookbook
Good as always! Easy to check what I needed, well listed and reliable.
I love the way Alibris is not Amazon. Ships quick. Great selection.
