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.

Shopping on Alibris is seamless, easy, and quick. And you're not giving your money to Amazon.
Had access to what I needed; fair price; good delivery time.
Was easy. Price is reasonable.
I have had trouble navigating the site in the past. Not this time.
Sign in unsuccessful, had to create new password and jump through hoops. Credit card option was not available, had to use Pay pal and then wait for a verification. Took way too long to order 2 books
I found the item I wanted and additional related books at a fair price. However, shipping is outrageous, almost matching my purchase! I realize that is not your fault.
Alibris is one of the oldest online bookstores, and still the best!
Alibris are the best, I've been with them since they started - much better choices
This was the information I was trying to find. I wish, though, that there was a discount coupon available for senior citizens on a fixed income.
Easy selection among many providers. Five star rating and very good condition seal the deal!
Would be nice if more detailed book descriptions / reviews were available
Great site for finding used items in great condition. I recommend it to everyone.
Easy to use and always has what I am looking for. I highly recommend this site
Quick and easy with several choices
I have nothing more to say
Order was completed as expected, product was as described. My only complaint is that when the product was first marked as shipped, an invalid tracking number was given. This issue was resolved after I reached out to the seller, about a week later. The order was actually delivered about a week after that.
Great selection and prices, multiple buying options from new to well used.
Easy and fast. It was so easy I started thinking of other items I might find.
I was hoping for some faster shipping options. 3 to 14 days is too vague.
It was not clear if you had only one copy of The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down, i wanted to buy more. Do you have real people one can talk to?
If i did buy more copies would i need to pay $4.95 shipping on each copy?
I would like to get 10 copies of The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down at $3.00 each, hard back if possible. That would be a real bargain.
It was easy to put in my book order, and the book was inexpensive.
Condition was described as like new. True for the pages themselves but the exterior was dirty, the spine was not flat across but lay at an odd angle and the book contained library markings.
Alibris has very helpful comparison shopping that includes shipping costs.
The descriptions of book conditions are accurate and allow me to decide whether to buy new or used.
Quick and easy for an item I wanted. Almost finish reading and enjoying every minute with my favorite author.
