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.

Got our books pretty quick & didn't contribute $1 to Amazon!
Found the books i wanted & didn't have to pay shipping, Fabulous!
Easy shopping and hopefully quick delivery as in past purchases.
Thank you, Alibris, for taking Discover! AbeBooks doesn't do that. It was $10 more expensive here than AbeBooks but at least you took my card. The books from GreatBookPrices arrived in great condition but I waited the longer end of the shipping window.
👍🏾 😎 easy order reasonable price blah blah blah blah I look forward to receiving my book
Fast and easy transaction! Great selection of books and prices!
Site is easy to use and has always had everything I care to explore (usually in multiple versions)
Came very quickly. Ok condition, but for the price I paid, fantastic.
New author - found all 23 books in one place! Thank you! Will be back shortly for another author.
Easy to find by searching by author and character. Also found most of them at just 2 or three vendors, so saved on shipping.
I found something I was searching for at a fair price. Easy purchase & they advertise their coupons during your purchase!
The book was supposed to be considered good, but I found that there were many underlings in red pen and pages with their corners turned down. First time I have been disappointed in the quality of the book. Fortunately, it is a reference book and not one I would re-read many times.
Didn't know I did an extra charge for trackable and $5 at that
I'd set my payment method through paypal which was handled correctly until I decided to add another book and when I went back and chose Paypal it didn't give me the option to choose the payment method WITHIN Paypal like before so my final payment is from Paypal but not from the method I wanted to choose. Almost chose to cancel the entire purchase but I'm to aggravated to even do that at the moment
As usual, when I order books from Alibris, I can rest assured that I don't have to fret about if or when I can expect a favorable result. They come through every time!
I have never experienced dissatisfaction with alibris. Hopefully, that will continue to be the case.
It becomes necessary to order books from different suppliers. When that happens, it brings the total cost at a price that far exceeds the price of the books. That doesn't seem fair. For what I paid for shipping, delivery times were disappointing.
Your shipping charges are outrageous and you do not give publishing company information.
Shipping prices are to high...lower if you order say $25 or more
Fast site navigation, lots of choices and excellent prices
Always reliable. Can find what I'm looking for as titles or subject matter go.
Always a thought provoking experience
Easy to search and order. I like that I can filter my search various ways.
