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.

Always love Alibris! It's my go-to.
My only complaint: You MUST insist that your sellers disclose whether hardcover books have a dust jacket included or not - ALWAYS. No excuses." Most sellers do not disclose this. So, I write them, and I get replies like, "I don't know."
And I think, "This is a $200 book. $#*!, go look!"
That carelessness is unacceptable to us serious collectors, and the only marr on Alibris, and everyone talks about it. Thanks.
The instructions for ordering are not clear and responsive. Only click once? I had to click a few times before I received an acknowledgement of my order.
Amazing love your books, keep the coupons but for lower amounts
Always an easy and great experience shopping at Alibris! The selection and choices can't be beat!
Easy to use. Found what I was hoping to find. I prefer to keep this short.
It was great but I initially let the charge go through and then noticed my credit card number was an old one. So I reordered the book with my new card number. So now it appears that both orders went through. Any chance order #******* can be cancelled?
Alibris has always been my go to, to purchase hard to find books!
Many topics and current selections not only academic but popular and practical books and resources as well
I found the book I wanted. Ordering it was simple. Thank you.
Great prices and selection! Can't find better prices and selection! Love to shop Alibris!
It's easy to navigate the purchasing options and quality of books desired. Photos are usually accurate in providing visual confirmation of the book being searched for.
Found exactly what I wanted at a great price--in a second. Its always a pleasure to use your site
Wonderful site and a pleasure to search, always find what I'm looking for
It was easy to get this ordered! I have been looking for all of these books as my mother was the Editor. She recently passed away and I found your site. I am so happy!
Book received later than originally stated by buyer but Alibris was able to move things along to my receiving the book I ordered
I dislike surveys. Since I am ordering again, as I have in the past, obviously I liked the experience
Love Alibris. Best prices and selections AND COUPONS! I usually shop here first and last because it verifies that I'm getting the best prices.
I love Alibris. Before I purchase a book from any other site - I check Alibris because their prices are the best.
I ordered a hard-to-find CD, unexpectedly, and pleased it was available.
I find the Alibris site to be easily navigable and well-organized. This stays in my memory when I decide I want a book, and I check here first. I always find what I'm looking for.
It was really easy! It was nice to have the option to shop as a guest and even nicer to be offered the easy creation of an account after the transaction.
I would like the current books that are available in my cart to show up at the TOP OF MY LIST instead of at the bottom of my cart.
Would you consider changing that?
It seems like the checkout process is easier with PayPal.
It was always difficult before, thanks!
My one qualm is not knowing how much shipping was going to be.
I ordered my book for much less than order prices I found and the book was in great condition. The delivery time was fast too.
I had the ISBN and the book came up right away. I purchased with no issues, now I'm just waiting for the book.
