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've used Alibris for several years
December 27, 2022

I've used Alibris for several years. Items are very reasonably priced, shipping is equitable, delivery is fast. Plenty of options usually for a given item. Better prices than several other sites.

Slightly confusing
December 27, 2022

Slightly confusing. After choosing each of the three books and making sure to click "free shipping" on the left when selecting each book, the total in the cart listed over $11.00 estimated shipping. This didn't make sense and I almost went to another provider. It wasn't until after I clicked on Pay Pal and was looking at the final page to confirm and actually order, did the shipping cost go away and list free shipping.

After many many years buying from Alibris I have never been able to apply a discount code. I only buy books when I find a need and not based on a discount offer. Too bad.
