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.

Good site. Not a complete as it use to be. Certain books seem to be untenable. Like most corporates, afraid and self-censor, which for a book seller is sad, but the progressive are nasty.
Easy to use and you quickly find what you need with good booksellers.
I think that when a person has multiple books in their cart that somehow the computer should try to group as many books as possible from the same seller that way it saves the customer money on shipping and save on packaging, which is better for the environment.
1 book was a little dirty and 1 had a slight imprint. But over all out of the 18 books I bought they were in wonderful condition and shipped in a reasonable time.
In Gathering Moss, the advice that Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer receives from the Cheyenne elder links gaze with desire, suggesting that the gods of desire may not enjoy direct eye contact. What possibilities lie in the indirect gaze? What portals open when we look away from what we desire? How does your body respond to the idea of losing focus? Are you ready to avert your gaze?
Excellent service, and a great selection of books! In trying to find a great selection of books, it isn't always easy. Alibris, is a fantastic store to find lower priced, great books! Well Done Alibris.
When looking for rare and hard to find books, Alibris is where I go! Great products and great service. Well done.
On my phone when I want more information on a seller's copy of the book the new page did not have more information clearly. In fact I had to find the place where I had to click again for book description. Alibris is not the best site for phone search.
I put my phone in to receive texts.
I was sent a $5 off coupon.
Unfortunately, I was unable to get back to the screen where I could enter the coupon code. I guess it will have to be used on a future visit.
I really like your site. Thanks for all the details.
Very user friendly shopping experience. I like that you offer alternative savings suggestions at the end. Whoever designed this did a good job. 😊
Always pleased with the ease of searching for titles and authors, and easy check out. And most of all, for the range of titles that you have available, especially translations of great Italian literature to English, and classic, highly-regarded works from French authors and historians. Thank you, Alibris!
Several options for shipping enabled me to get the book before Christmas! This was my husband's most memorable movie from his teen years and it is a gift for him.
I always have an excellent experience with Alibris.
Having received 2 cancellation notices in the past 2 days, it's frustrating and time consuming as the notices don't include the order number or the recipient. It's difficult to track what exactly has been cancelled when multiple items have been ordered and even more so when there are orders for multiple parties… Please fix this. Thank you!
So easy that it is the best way to get out of print books. Other sources are not as accredited and do not have as wide a resource selection
Shrinklets is or should be required reading for everyone who considers themselves literate. My copy is lost among the thousand or more books in the living room but I needed two copies for friends. I ordered them and the condition was excellent as advertised. Gifts were happily received. One recipient already had a copy... in her library of several thousand books but her daughter had not read it so she immediately sat with a cup of tea and read several classics. The other recipient decided 2 books at a time would make the pleasure last longer.
Quick and easy to find authors and titles. Condition of used books are described. New books are available. Price range varies to suit anyone's budget.
Easy website to navigate. Many titles available both new and used. A great place to shop.
The process to purchase a book was easy and straight forward. I didn't have to go through many links to purchase my book. I recommend this link to anyone.
The steps taken to purchase the book was easy and intuitive. Great job!
...
Great books, great prices, supporting smaller businesses around the country, shipping times are really decent. 100/100. I will never order books from anywhere else.
Not easy to enter an alternative shipping address nor to verify my billing address. Kept getting "error occured." Finally think I managed to do it after a bunch of rigamaroll. NOT GOOD if you don't want people to resort to Amazon
Selection and cost was very reasonable will definitely order again from site and use it as a source when searching for books for school
