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 is always excellent! It is amazing how effective it is for me to get hard to find book thru Alibris.
I am happy with the price I paid for the book, but it took a long time to receive my book.So, I would consider this option a third or fourth option for getting my books, as shipping takes so long.
Thank you. I appreciate your help in finding this book. Alibris has a good price for a used paperback which is what I was looking for.
When shopping on Alibris it always results in frustration: it's more difficult to figure out what you want than you thought it would be. And the it's always disoncerting how much the shipping costs add up to.
It's annoying that what seem like good values on books quickly evolve into an expensive order, BUT, you don't discover that until you place the order and learn that the delivery fee for each book can cost as much as the book itself. Arggh
My recent Alibris ordering experience went very well. There was a good selection of the titles I was looking for, prices were reasonable, and shipping speed, especially during the Holiday rush period was very good. All but 1 item made it to me by Christmas, and the last one was a day later. Books arrived well-packed and in good shape.
I was ankle to find the book that I wanted at a fair price. It arrived in a timely manner and in great condition. I have purchased from Alibris before and will again.
I was happy to get these books at a good price. Alibris is a great source for this.
All went well; encountered no problems whatsoever. Completely satisfied.
Quite satisfied with the ease of this purchase.
I found all the books I wanted, and I appreciate being able to see the condition of the used books I ordered.
Easy to find things on this site, and there is always a variety of sellers so one can choose used books in very good condition.
Great shopping experience! Excellent condition and quick shipping. Thank you!
I always check Alibris for hard-to-find textbooks, novels, or gift books. It's a great resource!
Very happy with the fact that I found the book to begin with. Pricing and shipping were great. All in all, a wonderful transaction as always.
It's been awhile since I used Alibris, I had forgot how many offerings this site had. I plan not only to stock my books but also expand my CDs DVDs collections.
Always a pleasure to find what I'm looking for! I have never been disappointed in the appearance of a selection!
