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.

It's great to know there is a good option to purchase books online than through Amazon. I've been very happy with Alibris. Thank you!
The first half of life was filled with many mistakes and a consistent beating my head against the wall. I think this is the story of the human experience in general. The second half of life I am learning a different way. In one sense you could call it "unlearning". I encourage everyone to search and continue to search. The answers to life are waiting for you.
Shipping took a little long. But cheap prices. One book was a little damaged, probably just from age tho and being used
Easy to order and quick and smooth delivery. They had the book that I was searching for and it was easy to find and order.
I ordered a gift certificate for my wife for Christmas, and she received it in a timely fashion. It was simple.
The website had a good copy of the book I wanted. I placed my order and the book arrived on time and in good shape.
Good service and price; item in good condition. Don't like this part of the experience, however.
Book in great shape. Ordering was easy. Cost reasonable. Happy
A little slow in processing, but since it was the holidays, I'll give them I pass.
Waiting period was a bit long. However, it came. So I'm appreciative.
I placed an order during the holidays (between Christmas and New Years Eve) and I was expecting some delays. However, the order was promptly shipped and I received it before the expected ETA. Great experience!
I have been ordering from Alibris for several years and found that ordering from you has always been pleasant and accommodating. Thank you for making my reading experiences fulfilling.

I appreciate the easy and speedy service! I ha.ve been a long time customer
I had to change the address my package would be sent to and it was taken care of
I have no special comments to make. I consider Alibris a reliable service and preferable perhaps to Amazon. That is all.
Book arrived quickly and was purchased at an incredible price.
Ive always had a great experience with Alibris till one problem last year that i didn't get my book and had to ask PayPal to help me.
I went back to order one more time with Alibris and it did work again. I'm please that you continue to have the same great service.
I'll buy more books from you.
Thank you.
Happy New Year.
