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 was able to order autobiography of the flea for $15. I inadvertently log out. Returned to replace my original order and was refused. That book was no longer available in 2 minutes later.
Always very fast. I always find the books I want from Alibris that i cannot locate in other book sites
Was easy to find the book I wanted, easy to check out and low shipping
Easy process. I'm not sure why you need 50 characters. This is annoying
Great shopping experience. Easy transaction process. Carefree shopping.
Alibiris links to many retailers with a huge overall inventory, however where you buy which items will impact the shipping cost and it can take a moment's figuring to determine what the shipping cost will be and therefore, what the real price will be for items listed. It's well worth it IMHO; I've never gotten anything that wasn't as described, books were in as good or better condition than indicated, excellent values.
Easy searching, transparent pricing, easy navigation.
I wanted to email the seller but your site is giving an error message and won't let me.
Quick and simple interface. Some alternatives for same product to chose according your needs.
Nice and cheap website. I will recommend it to all of my friends. God bless
Looking for a fairly rare 1971 book, and found it! Allibris usually has what I'm looking for in pre-1980s books
Found a rare book I was looking for, reasonably priced
It was so easy-to-use place an order. And there selection are awesome.
My original order was cancelled. I was given an option for another book but at a higher cost. This is almost sounds like "bait-and-switch". I hope this never happens again
I have never used nor heard of this site, but it is quick and easy to understand!
Thank you!
Excellent, and speedy service. Book condition was as described. Alibris has always been a great place to find reading materials at excellent prices.
I've been able to locate books which I have been looking for with success.
Searching Paleontology & Dinosaurs research books were co-mingled with children's dinosaur books making my search more difficult. In addition the "save shipping truck icon" feature is exhausting! Stick the truck icon where you can see it with the listed book cover instead of beating us up looking for it.
Easy to jump around when shopping for different books, like to combine the purchases from same seller if possible.
Some books I looked at didn't show up in the bottom part of page s previously looked at.
Found the book at the lowest price possible for the copy in best shape. Selected the book. Ordered the book. Received the book.
Clear and easy to find the book I was after. Alibris system is well designed.
Shipping costs magically changed from 7 bucks to 16 bucks; shame on you
The whole shopping process was easy. And I was pleased with the price.
I do not have time to complete this. These need to be multiple-choice only.
I love buying books from Alibris! They combine many different sellers to be able to find almost any book used and at a great price!
Alibris lists inventory from so many sellers it's usually easy to find the books I want.
