Alibris Reviews Summary

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.

I was able to find a rare book and it was on the price was on the higher side but the book itself was in good condition. So it was worth it
Well...I sometimes send books to other people and then forget when I place my order. Then the order defaults to them instead of me and I have to scramble to change the address. I now know to delete any other addresses before I complete the order...hopefully...
Love the new address features...so much better...
I found the books I was looking for at an affordable price point. Quick delivery.
The 3rd edition is $120 retail, found this v2 here - instructor approved the substitution and very happy!
It was easy to place my order and I received it quickly. My book was in good condition and the price was excellent
Great source for older books at less than ridiculous prices!
The book I purchased arrived within the time expected, was in great condition.
Partly my fault, but Alibris shipped the book to an old address that I had not used for ten years. You need to be careful during check out.
Books are great. The price seems great but with the cost of shipping it wasn't as cheap as I wanted it to be. But still a better deal than Barnes&Noble.
Second purchase. Books that are hard to find at great prices. Special interest for me.
Good read. Fair price. Received on time. Well packaged. Will likely buy again.
You can trace the book from the original bookseller to Alibris. Good luck after that. Alibris NEVER even posts if they shipped the book.
OQuick and easy to find books, choose edition and hardcopy.
One problem -- never know when the books ships from Alibris site!
In the past 2 books have been lost / never arrived after 6 weeks.
A pleasure to not need a complicated process. Other vendors sometimes require too much time to place an order...not so with Alibris!
It is great to choose a company that is so professional every time I have used them.
Ease of use. Able to find what I was looking for very quickly, even obscure publications.
Great prices from great sellers and ease of checkout.
I like ordering from Thrift Books. I am always satisfied with my order. Enjoyable reading, too!
I needed a GIS book for a class. It cost only $15 and sold in "fair" condition but was in a great condition! I will definitely be buying from Alibris again.
Book came in great condition and in decent time...
Been shopping here for a while. I love the option of getting ebooks, too.
Easy to order, hope delivery to me is as smooth. Love this book!
