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 told me I would be paying around four dollars, and I ended up paying 14.
Great price from thrift store. I have never had a bad experience with this company. I also sell items using their site and have been very pleased with the quality and service. I highly recommend them over amazon or any other seller for books, dvds, and music.
It was ok. Don't force me to write 50 characters when service was 'ok'
Very easy to shop on your site. It went smoothly to order my book.
Easily accessible, well-described, excellent packaging!
So far easy to find what I wanted. Just a book I just heard about and my search was easy using Alibris.
Always a good and easy transaction with Alibris! They make finding what I want an easy exerience.
Always such a great shopping experience. Can't beat the prices.
I was searching a book for a good price in used status.
I got it on Alibris.
This time I was confused because I couldn't open the trace number.
It was a processing error on my part.
Both the packaging and the product itself were perfect.
My experience was great. Have used Alibris for years to my hard to get material and always pleased. Thank you.
They have better price than competitors, plus frequent discount. I literally received my order in 3-4 days. If packaging is a little better, they would be the perfect place to buy books from
I ordered a bunch of books at discount price and received them in less than a week. The packaging is okay, but they could use some more cushioning.
Quick ship, product just as described, don't really want to make a production out of it...
Love the lower cost alternatives which provides me the same items at a reduced cost. Dont know if it also looks at books from same seller to reduce shipping
This is an often pricey book that I snagged for almost nothing!
I have used Alibris for years, and it is one of my favorite used book sellers
I found a hard to find booklet on Alibris! They are one of my main go-tos for finding books.
I like very much the features Alibris has added over the years. I always check here first, before buying elsewhere. Especially love that you offer ebooks too.
Like the 'cart saver' feature very much- and that the company is very responsive to online communication. We are not phone-call-people!
Please tell me what I had ordered. You do not include the name of the item in correspondence
The variety of books and music is unsurpassed - so much fun to browse and select just what you want.
My go-to place for books, music and DVDs, the selection is good and the sellers are very high quality.
The products were exactly as described in the listing. Everything from the condition of the books to the prompt shipping was a win. The prices had a wide range depending on the condition and were shipped as well as received exactly within the time period indicated.
