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 have found several older hard to find books on this site. Cost was great and shipping was fast. What more could a booklover want?
Great items and great prices. Website was very clear and easy to use.
Never heard of this site before today. Found a good selection of prices for the title I was searching for, and found the website navigation easy and secure.
Alibris is fantastic, keep doing what you are doing. Best reading or book website in the entire world wide web
I have been wanting this book forever. Found it and the transaction was delightfully smooth!
There is a wide selection of books available and the Books have been of good quality also you can't beat the price. Haven't had an issues with any of the copies that I have purchased so far will definitely recommend to anyone.
I have a new updated debit card since I moved to Sacramento. Your company has continued to fail returning remittances for two books I ordered earlier last because the editions were not available. Alibris is too large a concern to monkey around with customers owed money and consideration as a tenured customer.
I ordered a quite new book from Amazon, which they could not fill because they had no copies left. Alibris could supply the same book immediately for almost 1o dollars less!
Great source for rare and simply old books at stunning prices!
Computer told me I couldn't place the order, usually because an item had already sold. I looked to find that, couldn't, replaced the order & it went through. Huh?
Often an't tell what cover goes with which edition.
Often can't tell who the translated is.
Easy to shop, love free shipping, great service, good prices that why I comeback
Love the book seller cooperative approach. I have always received my books in a timely manner and the condition of the books has always been reliable.
I would prefer to know where the item is being shipped from before purchase. I am glad this comes from Milwaukee as it is close to me.
I've ordered books before. Came back here to order this one read this book in grade school. Always remember it. Lost original book
Easy to understand and very quick to use. Have used in past and will do again.
First time ordering from alibris, You had what I was looking for when others I use did not, making the purchase as a guest was fine. I'm looking forward to reciving this book soon and for the charges to be correct. If so, I will create an account and use you as a Go To for literary purchases.
My book arrived as described and tracking was provided for me to track my book as it was shipped to me. I would use alibris again.
I met a very knowledgeable staffer at BOOKS, INC. here in San Francisco and she is a mum and uses ALIBRIS
All the time. She encouraged me to order a used copy of SPORT and I was able to read an out of print book
From the 2nd in the HARRIET THE SPY series thanks to this staff person!
Great and very easy to find what I wanted and arrange payment.
Easy to find what I wanted and like the options regarding condition of the book
As before, it's easy to find what I want at a reasonable price. And it's an independent bookseller
I found what I wanted, in each case I has more than one choice, and the prices were quite reasonable.
Happy to have found the book I was looking for, and at a decent price. Thanks.
I have shopped numerous times with Alibris AND have also shared my impressed experience. In fact my last order was for a curious friend, who was quite satisfied with the whole experience. Thank you
