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.

This was a very easy transaction. The book I wanted was in stock at a very reasonalbe price and in an acceptable condition. The ordering process was uncomplicated and painless to navigate. Good work, Alibris!
Quick to find items. Easy to access and order. Fast checkout. Good work.
Not easy to find and get coupon codes. Especially because I'm a loyal buyer from this site they should make the code's easier to get thank you
Hello, the book took a while to get to me as I was following its tracking it went on a round about trip🤔 the condition of this hard cover was pretty ok Except for some of the back pages are coming undone as of my first opening the book. So I put a little glue hope it works. Gee I spent good money and it has a tiny flaw which I hope stays that way. Other than that the book is fine. Thank you
As expected, Alibris' login/selection/checkout sequence rivals, if not surpasses, the best of the current platforms anywhere on the web!
VERY efficient and straightforward, even beats amazon's checkout sequence - which is saying something!
How come the web sites that ask for feedback are the best ones? Notice that the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration doesn't have a feedback feature!
The book I got is out of publication and many copies have been destroyed. Nonetheless, I was able to get a copy from Alibris. There was a personal note from one of the authors as well as her signature twice (once was her first name after the note and then below were her full name and year of publication. I was not expecting those, but I do believe that adds additional value to this book.
Placed the order -- I think -- on Christmas Eve. It wasn't a Christmas gift. I appreciate that it got to me so quickly given how close we were to the actual holiday.
Very hard to find Spanish novels translated into English. I thought I had 2 books in English and found out at the last minute they were written in Spanish.
I was able to change my credit card and place the order. Thank you for making this easy.
Always satisfied in finding a great book in great condition at a great price. I have never been disappointed in the shopping experience.
I enjoy using this site because of the variety of books in and out of print. I have always found the service to be of the best quality.

I was looking for an out of print book for a friend for Christmas and found it here! I trust it was a good copy as advertised and the recipient thanked me! :)
I needed this book and I thought of Alibris. I hadn't ordered from them in years, so was delighted to discover they still exist. I'm so glad I remembered them, and will not let them fall out of my consciousness again.
Easy process. With the advent of Amazon years ago, frankly I'd forgotten about Alibris. I wanted a different book, and it wasn't available on Amazon and Ebay. I wracked my brain trying to remember this place where I had bought books in the past. It took a while, but it finally popped into my head— Alibris. So glad they still exist! They don't have the book I was looking for, but this one showed up, and will definitely fit the bill.
Easily searched and ordered. Thank you
Smaller and non-corporate book sellers are necessary to democracy. And literacy, reading, is essential to democracy.
Outlets like yours ensure a source of variable opinions on many subjects.
Shopping at Alibris was a gratifying experience. I easily found everything that I was looking for (plus more). I was able to choose exactly what I wanted to with ease. The checkout was quick and efficient. I knew what I wanted, and you can say, I was in and out in no time.
It is very convenient to search for the used movies instead of rummaging through endless boxes of DVD's at flea markets and garage sales. I rarely find anything anyone has that I want. Here is a 98% chance.
The book I ordered became unavailable so Alibris provided another copy for my approval. It was in excellent condition and even cost a bit less which is amazing as they already offer books at quite affordable prices. I can't recommend Alibris enough!
Thank you so much for putting another copy of the book in cart when it wasn't available!
I wanted an inexpensive copy of John Franklin's voyage to the polar sea (volume 2) and found it at Alibris. It came quickly and was in excellent condition. Its a good company to buy from and I will do it again.
If we, as customers, do the "leg work" to get books from one seller, instead of all different sellers, don't u think we, $#*! customers, should be allowed a break in shipping charges? I just bought 5 books and i found them all for sale at one seller.
I really like A. Books. I do believe A. Books is the best used books business on line. Keep up the good work, guys. Dee H
You don't have adequate software. Hard to back up and add to an existing order (I had to cancel it and start over). Hard to send the same thing to multiple addresses (have to go back and start over for each)
Even with paying postage, I'm usually saving compared to Amazon's pricing.
