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.

My shopping experience on Alibris has always been excellent!
So far, So good! I have always been satisfied when I have ordered from Alibris!
One big frustration is that when you first advertise a book, your estimate for shipping is far cheaper than what it actually turns out to be. You give the impression that there is more than one shipping option, but in the end, there's only one and it's much more expensive than the original quote.
Information was user friendly because it was well organized and clear.
Shopping and finding my book of choice was very easy... I hope it gets delivered in a speedy manner.
Found what I was looking for. Website easy to use, price is acceptable.
Website lacks clarity. Two books I selected came up as unavailable, but it didn't indicate which ones! Frustrating.
Alibris is my go-to shopping place online. I always find what I'm looking for! My locally owned bookstore is the only other place I buy books.
Very clear descriptions. Was on another site that was not so clear and upfront. Appreciate this site.
Easy and reliable place to find hard to find books
Found what I was looking for! Grateful! Chosen it many times.
I wish I could just order simply with my regular email address without having to remember some stupid password I will never remember.
Selection is terrific. And very clear
Much appreciate
Had problems with clarityof the whole system - i wanted to buy three books and send to other people and got ensared in complications of difference between setting up account at all, and setting in motion those purchass
Is a web site design issue not an oveerall systems issue
Very easy to find what I wanted, see the overall cost, and to change book options to accommodate what I had available to spend.
Found books I could not find in my library or at Thrift Books Paid more than I wanted to. Around $12.00 - $7.00 would have been better for me.
Easy to navigate, clear and concise and the search engine works great.
I discovered Alibris 20 years ago, and recommend to all my friends. I'm able to find old favorites in excellent condition, and can receive notifications when a particular book is found.
Easy purchases from small stores across the country
Excellent transaction fast and easy
