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.

Great product. Order was absolutely perfect from start to finish.
The price of the book was far cheaper than I thought it would be. The checkout was fast and easy. I'm sure I'll be back!
Ordered and book came as planned. Smooth transaction to my house.
Everything just went well from searching and finding to pricing and ordering and delivery
It was a good experience that might have been better if the delivery time was shorter. But the company chosen for transportation did it's job so it is ok.
Book arrived in very good condition, as described. Took about 3 weeks but it was coming USA to Australia.
I was really pleased to get it - 1993 book out of print!
No discount for first order. Postage seems a little excessive!
Prompt delivery, great packaging and the quality print is great
Easy to use menu for inputting the information for this transaction.
I've bought a lot of used books through Alibris and never had a problem. And I find what I'm looking for.
I was pleasantly surprised with the swift delivery and good condition of the book I purchased.
Excellent service, easy order process and prompt delivery!
I have always had great service from Alibris. I have ordered many times before this.
I love that you are recycling these books. Thanks for working with us to find these special books.
While placing order, a box popped up, to check if you want (marketing promos) 🙄. It appeared with the box already ticked as "yes", but it disappeared again in a microsecond - no chance to change it to "no." The last thing I want is more marketing, which spawns additional marketing - blechhhhh.
When I shopped, I got a message from the shipper (Owl Books, Toledo) that I would get a shipping discount if I ordered more than 1 book from same seller. I ordered 3. I was never given a chance to tag the discount, and was not given a discount. This should not happen.
Particularly good for rare and scholarly books. Reasonable delivery time and great prices
Found exactly what I was looking for at a very good price. Bought it.
So accessible, swift, affordable, and easy. Love Alibris!
