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.

Hard to find books at a great price. I've been shopping with alibris for decades and I've never had an issue. Best book site by far
I use Alibris all the time! I read them and pass them on to friends. Why pay more? Select book, cover, condition, price and order. Books arrive timely and in stated condition. Very satisfied with Alibris and book sellers.
Book arrived timely and in good condition. I've never had a complaint about Alibris or the book sellers. I always check Alibris first because they may have a better price on new or as new books. I also appreciate the ability to choose by price, condition, and other options.
I know the site pretty well so I can go fast. Found most of the books I wanted in great condition for low prices--can't ask for more than that.
The links you included in the email informing me that my item is no longer available, didn't help me get to choosing another copy. I had to start over. Even then, two copies of the book, same place and price, are till listed. Still not sure the sale will vgo through. Something's not working right.
Purchased a book for my mom and was delighted by how quickly it shipped to her. I love Alibris and being able to avoid the evil online empire of book shopping!
This is my third order for the same title. Both of my prior orders were cancelled by the seller; the first after I was notified it had shipped.
Great value for used books. Accurate book condition ratings, reasonable shipping charge and delivery time. I'll continue to shop at Alibris. Thank you!
Easy process, as usual. Repeat customer over many years and your ordering process has gotten better and better. Great job!
Tracking was great to have as I was staying at a bnb when I ordered. Got there in a timely fashion and arrived exceptionally well after packed. Would definitely buy from this seller again.
Everything went smoothly. This is my first time using your order service and it was overall pretty good. I will check on your site next time to purchase other items in the future.
The site was easy to navigate, I was grateful that I did not have to make an account, and I was able to find a book that otherwise I would have been unable to locate, and for a reasonable price, too!
Easy site to navigate, found a rare book I wanted, and I didn't have to create an account.
The fact that my order keeps getting cancelled after purchasing is irritating. Why are you cancelling my order after I already purchased? It's rude
I love Alibris, never had any issues. Idk what else to say but honestly been using your site for ages and decided to check out a few others I've been recommended but I never find my books or at the same price as Alibris. Love y'all!
Easy to use website, cheap books. You have to pay for shipping but often times the books are only like $5 and $5 shipping so it's $10 for a very good condition book and that's way less than the $20-30 cost of the books in most bookstores
Found these books at a fraction of the price of Amazon and delivery was quick.
Never heard of this website but I'm glad I clicked on the link. Im happy with my DVD even tho the was a few light scratches. Still played well.
Great site for comparing book prices. I like the option at check-out to check if there is a better deal available and update cart.
Your website is NOT USER FRIENDLY, have tried to place this order numerous times last weekend. Cached information continually kept the order from being processed. Pages froze, etc.
Extremely frustrating so I waited a week & tried again… of course then I missed last weekend promotion!
It was not a book carried by many sites. I was happy to find it with you. The book was in great shape and I am well pleased in all areas of the process.
I was looking for a copy of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I found a flawless hardcover at Alibris for a reasonable price after searching another thrift book store. It arrived ahead of the predicted date and I am very pleased with my purchase and experience.
It was easy to place an order, the price was quite reasonable, and the book arrived in 2-3 weeks. It was in excellent condition, though the print is very small.
I tried at 'textbookX' and the fools had a checkout process that would not let me continue, and I tried a couple of times. This is not the first time I ran into this. How do they stay in business? Who wrote the program for that process? Well, you did fine so you will be my go to in the future.
My purchase went very smoothly and fast look forward to the DVD it goes with the one I have now the first Bad Santa will be looking through y'all's other Merch. Thank you very much
