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.

Very good web experience
Great prices and wide selection of used books
Quick and easy to shop for a wide variety of titles and authors
I absolutely love that these books get passed along from person to person, generation to generation, so grateful to have found Alibris. My only complaint is that shipping cost start to become high after a few books from private venders
Finding the books I want in the condition I want is quick and easy and the prices are excellent.
I found the book I was looking for. It was in the condition that was described and delivered in a timely manner.
This was a positive experience and it didn't take long to fill out all information required.
Fast and easy; seller is one I've ordered from before so I have full confidence in the results.
I have found Alibris and its book dealers to be prompt and accurate in their descriptions.
Like looking through a bookstore except it's easier to find things with a search engine covering the country and you can usually find what you are looking for.
Quick, simple and accurate.i have been purchasing books from Alibris for a number of years with no problems.
Excellent source of second hand books.
Shipping is reasonable and delivery is within the specified time range.
Quick and so easy to find exactly what I was looking for in a few seconds! The price was more than right. Even with shipping it was still WAY CHEAPER than buying new! Thanks Alibris!
I had not placed the order yet but was looking for the coupon code to get $15. Off the price but when I found and prepared to insert it, the order had already been placed.
Got an offer from Alibris for a coupon but couldn't find the coupon code anywhere to include it.
I wish we could combine shipping for books from the same online store.
Nearly impossible to return to continue shopping from any of the later pages (of the site). This issue should be a VERY easy fix. Thanks, DJ
Very "user unfriendly" to update the SHIP TO address.
Book was received, no issues what-so-ever. Book is condition described.
Grateful for a wider selection of the same book from different sellers.
The website is easy to use. I also appreciate the amount and variety of products offered.
The process to search and purchase has been easy, understandable and seamless. Thank you!
Very easy website to negotiate. Great Website is very easy to negotiate.
