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.

Fast shipping, book brand new just as described, good value!
Alibris sent my package to my neighbors house. Good thing I have kind neighbors. Horrible packaging, good prices, and slow delivery.
It is EXTREMELY HELPFUL to know what edition I am looking at. Mass-market PB, trade PB, or hardcover. Many sellers lie about trade PBs to get rid of them. They are too big to fit on my fiction bookshelves.
Great service, great followup. I have been a customer for a long time
The book shipped fast, was in great condition, and was significantly cheaper than any other website
Thank you for your fast easy service i was able to find what I was looking for quickly
I had to search around to find how to change my shipping address but did find it. Everything went well.
We received a message saying that the delivery is delayed (from the USA to Australia), then the book arrived next day.
Sorry this is not "useful" feedback, but Alibris is THE BEST! Your shopping cart link to seller's "store" (search pane) is very valuable for minimizing shipments when ordering multiple books.
Prompt and great customer services. Thank you for all your help
Happy to find this book. I used the book when teaching. It lends itself to an art project with paper cutting and has a song.
Book was in great shape, just as described, great price, prompt delivery.
This item was extremely well packaged. Excellent! The outside cover of the book is rather shabby but the important part, the text is in really good shape. This book is a real classic and I wanted a hard cover version. So, this particular item is acceptable. I have ordered from this source before and been entirely satisfied. I'll order from them again if the occasion arises.
There was no box to type in my coupon code for the online checkout. Why even bother giving us a code?
I may have overlooked Alibris, because it should have been the first website I tried.
They have a better selection, and they have the publisher dates on every book.
Easy enough. I find it more useful than other websites when it comes to books.
Website is well laid out and easy to navigate. I was able to get free shipping and use my coupon code. Your prices are great!
Easy to Navigate. Easy to locate product and compare all available.
Site has everything I was looking for, and it is in stock. In addition to this, Alibris has all the tracks for review, whereas Amazon doesn't. Furthermore, it made surfing for the music I wanted easy, and you can checkout as a guest (which I'm signing up after this). Granted, shipping is not free, but the actual net price is about right per item on websites that offer free shipping.
Nice selection, a lot of good cheap books that are right up my alley
