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.

The books are always good to great quality, excellent prices and I'm never disappointed. After selecting a book about fish, the website offered even more selections that was more what i was looking for.

Pretty good; however feel there should be coupons for 77 year olds regardless of purchase balance. We have difficulties with weight and maneuverability with orders.

I felt I was misled about the $5 discount for first order - code of "THANKS". I didn't see any mention of a $50 minimum order until I was trying to place the order at checkout.

Inaccurate condition labeling
August 1, 2025

Book was readable but definitely not "very good" condition. There were blemishes on the cover and spine, and the images were (hopefully) water damaged.
