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.

Items are easier to find and prices are often cheaper than other sites I've shopped at.
Almost always find the books in the editions and conditions I want
You charge more in shipping & tax than most of the movies cost. Might want to work on this?
The only problem is the fact that it costs more to ship than your actual purchase. This needs improvement.
Make it easier to find box sets of series.
My only problem is I often put a list of books in my cart, then when I sign into my account the cart is empty and I have to search again.
Good search features and selections of used books.
Terrible time logging in -- had to shut down computer, reset password, and by then, the original copy of the book I wanted was gone...
Great experience, never had an issue with Alibris, Usually find what I'm looking
For. Shipping is fairly quick. Books arrive in good condition.
Great prices, easy to navigate site, good information about the book condition
Easy to use website. Had the book that I wanted. Great price
Although I have not ordered books recently, I have used Alibris for buying my books for, gosh, 10-14 years, not sure how long. This is the site I go to first. They, I'd say, have just about every book i am interested in buying. Thank you Alibris! I think you rock.
I have purchased used books from Alibris for years. It's always been easy and 99% of the time they have what I want.
I have been ordering books from Alibris for years. When I am looking to purchase a book this is my go-to site.
It has been a while since I have ordered books but find this site very easy to do so.
I put a book in my Alibris shopping cart, then went searching on the site for two other books. 15-20 minutes later I returned to my cart to check out and my cart was empty. The Alibris website had removed the book from my cart. I had to go back through the site to find the same used book again, which was in fact still available.
It would be nice to be able to compare shipping costs when shopping for books, and to be able to search by free shipping
Let's see how long it takes to get it. Then I'll write a review.
Easy check out and so many books that have been on my list to buy for long time. Found all them here,happy,
Very quick sale from finding the book l wanted, at the price l wanted to pay, to checkout. Impressive!
First time shopper and have had a great experience.
Everything is great except trying to search tor the free-shipping truck. I type in the field that says search for free shipping, and it brings up everything. I go into an item and filter on free shipping and no items avaiable. Takes forever with no results - I would like to select "free shipping" and have it hold when I search.
Didn't know this book even existed until 5 minutes ago. Couldn't find it anywhere else but Alibris. Thank you.
Easy to use site.
I hope it gets to where I had it sent.
My go to place for hard-to-find books. Including my own.
Outstanding website and service. I love it!
