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.

You have what I wanted, with clear easy steps to order. Thank you
Alibris made it easy for me to track down a book that was neither popular nor easily available in book stores. I like being able to shop from independent booksellers.
Easy to find with multiple buying options. I was looking for an older book.
I was so pleased with the support, the efficiency, and the speed with which I received my book.
Quick, easy way to order. Good graphics and lots of choices
It took 3 or 4 attempts to pay with credit card. The 3 digit code box would NOT take entries over and over. I had to log out and start over finally.
I have used Alibris several times with good results. They have difficult to find books and also reasonable prices.
Found an old Agatha Christie novel I hadn't read and old, dependable Alibris got it for me in a reasonable time and at a reasonable price.
You have things I was unable to find elsewhere and at very good prices.
I ordered 5 hardback books, but 3 that I received were softcover, those are more difficult for my older readers. One was from Dallas and 2 were from HPB stores. It is difficult to know which stores because the order store names do not always match the mailing label. Labels do not have numbers. My readers have accepted the books but I would hope that when I order Hardback, I receive hardback. A Hughes
Alibris always has the books I want and gives me a choice of a range of prices.
I always shop at Alibris when I'm looking for a Paperback or hardcover book. They almost always have what I'm looking for at a reasonable price.
Great service. I 'd been looking for Western Civilizations by Macnall Burns and found it at Ailibris! Thanks!
I've always loved alibris - it's just a good vibe! Keep doing what you're doing. Anti-Amazon!
The search engine tool was fast and reliable. I'm satisfied.
I valued the order process and the shipping of the three novels that I purchased. I can't complain about the experience at all. This would be my second or third time ordering books from this site. I'm satisfied. Thank you!
I was looking for an old out-of-print copy of Bullfinch's Mythology, but I guess it's not available. I gambled, and the book I got is very nice.
I received my order 2 days after I asked why I had not received it. The information sent to me the day I purchased it said that it was shipped out the same day. I couldn't track it and it came in the wrong color. It should have been pink, purple, and green. I was purchasing it for my granddaughter because of the colors. I purchased the same bible on eBay for my grandson the same day a I had his a week before I got my order from you.
Whenever I purchase books I choose you first.
Easy to find book and quick ordering process. Even found a coupon for myself. Thanks!
It will say see all copies from 3.99 but when you click the link there are no copies at that price
Can search by title, author or number if you know what it is and enter it
I bought some titles from the same seller in hopes that it would make the shipping cheaper, but it doesn't seem to have saved that much.
I've never been disappointed with any transaction with Alibris..
Your website is easy to navigate; prices reasonable; and I love that you're recycling books!
Books are so easy to find and there are many option for the same title.
