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 that I can checkout as a guest and can click out of news letters and offers. My shopping pattern is that I will not be returning regularly to alibris, so giving me that option is such a wonderful experience.
I was happy to see all books were in great condition, fast shipping
Never failed me yet and I've ordered dozens of books!, all useful in my writing life.
Ordering was very easy, shipping options are nice to have, Found what I was looking for.
Great prices, except shipping costs. Media Mail would certainly improve the experience.
Has always been accurate and quick, and available for help. Thanks!
Shopping experience is always pleasurable. No hassle. Web site easy to search and navigate.
Alibris is my go to place for purchasing books. I like the selection and prices. I made a mistake once when I ordered a book and they quickly corrected MY error..
Great prices and good quality service! Plus the website is easy to use
I love being able to find all the obscure titles I'm looking for in one place.
I found what i was looking for quickly. I didn't know the author's name, but found it with just the title.
The book was said to be "new", and I would agree it was. It was in perfect condition. I was pleased as this book is out of print and so is difficult to find in pristine shape. I would definitely order from the seller again.
Easy to compete the purchase. And the book came shortly thereafter
I found what I looking for and more in very good condition at good prices and received them all in good time.
Personally, I enjoy purchasing books at Alibris because the price is nice and some hard to find books are also at a great price most times as well. Also they always come in very great condition even if I purchased used books when specified in detail the condition of the book before purchase. I bought the majority of my books here! Shipping also is fast/ punctual timing for me.
Good to get used school books for a better price. I can find almost anything compared to Amazon or others
I wanted a book from the 1900's and was difficult to find. My book was priced well and in great condition. Thanks!
This was a good alternative to my local library. Delivery however took quite a while. Price and condition of the book were excellent.
So happy to have found this site, I was able to get a book from my childhood in great condition within a week of ordering. Will recommend Alibris to others!
Easy to find and order what I wanted, shipping from this seller was quite slow but the book was exactly as described, and the price was reasonable (good, not great)
Excellent selection, pricing, shipping costs and communication
Really easy to find and order what I needed on this site! Great price and low shipping costs.
