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 ordered 3 copies of a book that was advertised as good condition. 2 were acceptable condition and 1 had water damage. I am returning the damaged book for a refund but I'll be hesitant to purchase books from specific seller in the future.
Website is clunky and difficult to use. Dropped my order three times. Very frustrating. Trying to use alibris to avoid Amazon. Please make this easier!
Website is easy to understand; Checkout uncomplicated. Thank you
Quick and easy. The site is well laid out when searching for books, and the payment system works very well.
As always, Alibris makes it easy to find what I need.
Was rather inebriated when I initially placed my order, 3 days before class started, having spent time with friends only a few moments prior, I had, in a panic, placed an order here, where I paid half of MSRP for my textbook, which came in like it was new.
Quick,
Clear Directions
Friendly
+ Best of all ~
Great Prices!
What more can you ask for in a book Seller?
Thank you, Alibris!

Easy to order online and quick delivery. Great prices for quality used books.
Website is easy to navigate and has a vast inventory of books.
I received my order in a timely fashion. The condition of the books were as described.
I was able to order three books, all reasonably priced with shipping! It was also a quick turnaround for delivery! Thanks!
Exceptionally smooth--thanks for putting some thought into making the checkout so easy.
Very clean interface, one might almost say intuitive--thanks!
I needed to buy a book for a college class, and the normal price was in the hundreds of dollars, but when I looked on Alibris, I found an older version of the book at a much lower price that still had the same information and helped me in my class.
Quick easy-to-use. Good experience. Thank you for the ease of use.
The book I ordered is not an easy one to find. It took somewhat longer to arrive than I would have liked, but it is in excellent condition and I am very grateful to have it.
Easy to find alternatives, and thanks for shipping costs being shown upfront
Entiendo perfectamente que son libros usados pero me lo entregaron con paginas rotas y las paginas en fatal condiciones
I bought 4 copies of one book;m I should not be charged for shipping each oneas they are all in stock and could all be shipped together. Denis
Quick and easy. The process is streamlined and easy to follow.
I am delighted that Alibris has a great selection of used books than Amazon. Thank you.
So easy to find and sort through queue. Ordering was a pleasure.
I keep defaulting to my friend's address in Michigan. Often books I order for myself go to him and he never ships them back to me. This default is something I have to correct every time I order something.
