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.

The post office has book rates when shipping that should save customer more money, I hate it when the shipping cost as much as the book, I don't feel like I am saving money
Everything that arrived came in good condition. One item was cancelled by the seller due to all of a sudden not having it, despite it saying in stock when I placed the order.
Annoying, but what came from the other vendors was solid
I thought the price and timing were good until the book came. The first third is unglued from the spine.
I ordered a copy of a bird identification book that I use almost daily and is no longer in print. It came exactly as described and for a very reasonable price. Imagine my delighted surprise to learn that it was coming from the Goodwill store in my own city.! I have used Alibris before and have always been pleased.
I love your business and have used it several times. It's wonderful to get books that are out of print and to know what to expect retarding the condition they are in. Thank you for your services. I have used them in the past and hope your business will be around for a long time!
Very much appreciate the cart optimization! Thanks very much.
I like the cart optimizer. Would like to delete and correct some items on account; will look some more.
Easy to find what I was looking for in the condition that I wanted. Past experience has always been great too.
I'm nearly always able to find my requested book at Alibris, many times at a better price than anywhere else.
I protest that you made me post this message in ordet to complete my purchase. I think it is a violation of my rights to force me allow you to post these comments. I hope no one comes to your site
A little hard to tell which of the different translation I should get of an ancient classic. Otherwise, the site is pretty good.
Amazing selection, best prices, great sellers. I've never had any problems.
Great selection and prices. Better than every other book-selling website I've purchased from.
You had the story I was looking for, but in pricey important editions, AND is an affordable young person's edition with the story and so many more stories. Good thinking to consider the same story in a different category of books.
I was suspicious about the cite and price but it all turned out better than I could have thought.
My go to literary marketplace, never fails. What a resource, and fair pricing.
I have had around 25 perfect experiences with Alibris. My go-to source for used books and dvds.
Alibris had the best prices for 3 very hard to find books! I have been searching all over the web for these books and Alibris beat the prices every other site I looked through had.
I was already looking to buy something from here and was honored to receive a coupon. I took the time to pick something special and I found just that.
Excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent,
Looking for a hard to find, two volume reference work. Other sellers wanted over $200. Alibris had what i needed for less than have the price.
Website is easy to navigate. Prices offered are decent. Wide selection of Art, Architecture, Archaeology and Anthropology Books. Coupons are offered on a regular basis.
I received the book I ordered in 4 days. Common Crow books offered it at an excellent price. I'll definitely order from this bookseller again.
The transaction was quick, convenient, and easy. It also felt good to put my money behind an independent online bookseller.
Primer is all about high concepts and plot mechanics. It has some light character writing and themes, but negligible in any form of "style".
A good DVD will make anyone smile. Perfect!
Key Aspects of Primer
Production: Written, directed, produced, edited, scored, and starred in by Shane Carruth, a former engineer with a mathematics background.
Plot: Engineers Aaron and Abe stumble upon time travel while working on technical projects, creating a "box" that allows for limited time reversal.
Complexity: The film avoids explaining the jargon-heavy dialogue to the audience, diving deep into the technical and ethical chaos of time travel.
Accolades: Won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
Style: Grounded in a "do-it-yourself" aesthetic, focusing on the mental and moral toll on the characters rather than CGI spectacle.
Conditions of books are accurately described and I find what I am looking for.
I almost always find what I'm looking for here. Delivery has been good and prices are unbearable.
