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.

I purchased a 'used book' that was in very good condition and when I received it, I initially believed it to be brand new! It was in FANTASTIC condition. One would never have known that it was a 'used' book.
I received the book within an appropriate time frame and the price was significantly less than if I had purchased a new book.
Overall, I am most pleased with this company and would not hesitate to employ their services again when looking for another book.
Was referred by my school, great experience. Low price, fast delivery.
I like Alibris and prefer to shop here. I wish shipping wasn't so high. Some sellers don't give out a tracking number. They simply put the order number in for the tracking number. That way it gets marked as shipped, but it really isn't.
Why is this box necessary to give a 5 star review? Minimum number of characters seems silly. All I wanted to say was 'thank you!'
Love having this book to pass on to my children!
Wish there wasn't a sticker placed on the spine as is an antique and some of the cover came off when i took it off, but still happy to have it! Thank you
Always our first choice for books, always a great experience and terrific savings
It was on time, as described and in good condition.
I found the prices competitive and the selection is greater than others
Would order again and was very satisfied with price and prompt delivery
Easy to shop and pay. Great prices. I love all the books I can find on here inexpensive.
Ara says the first place I look when I need any book! I love shopping somewhere besides Amazon and all of the products that I get on here are great and inexpensive.
It was a good experience. Good seller and quick response to messages.
The site was easy to use both to find and to order what I wanted.
My shopping experience was great. I found the item I was looking for and at a great price.
Blue heron sent a very nice copy, at a great price! Really appreciate it.
Always reliable! Quick and easy search and checkout! Thanks again!
Like the others, so no problem. Books was how Amazon planned to start.
Alibis is always a reliable source. Their prices are always very reasonable. I would say the only negative is the time it takes to receive the item can be a bit long. But if you can wait, they are a great option.
I received one of two books, "Captain Bligh & Mr Christian", and was informed that the other book, "Ishi: Last of His Tribe", was no longer available. Delivery time was excellent and the information provided about the order was also excellent.
Thanks. I do not wish to add any more comments. This is getting a bit silly.
Wanted a specific out of print book, found it on alibris, it came promptly and I'm enjoying it very much.
