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.

You have high quality books at a fairly reasonable price, compared to other new or used book sites.
Like your book divisions and prices
Like your selection and prices, especially paperbacks
Good, I would have liked to know what shipping would cost before going to check out. And I would like more descriptive definitions of book condition.
Found the book I wanted, inexpensive; shipping was more than the two copies together
The website is easy to navigate. You get lots of options in terms of the books (condition, price, etc.) You get what you pay for (in a good way.)
Do far so good. Ordering used book was easy and price also reasonable.
Shipping seems a bit steep… 2.5 times the cost of the book
I am pleased that I can find unusual books for a reasonable price on this website. I have used it for years and have never been disappointed
User friendly website. Easy checkout. Good prices.
I spent a lot of time adding items to my cart before opening an account, and then lost them all and had to start over. I specifically ordered multiple books from the same sellers because it noted a shipping discount. No shipping discount was applied. Shipping was very expensive considering the low cost of media mail.
Haven't received the book yet, but finding and ordering was an uncomplicated breeze :)
Good, although it would be nice to provide more book details
I appreciated that you had books that I was looking for at good price. Checkout was easy, and am just waiting for delivery, to see rest of process.
Won't let me make a five star rating. Very happy with your lay out and choices thus far.
Your website sucks its not intuitive I accidentally entered my email in the wrong box & I couldn't get out of the loop, the same with my zip code + 4 digit it took forever to place this order. I had leave the site 3 times and change my email address just to unfreeze it. Also if I enter the name of an author ALL the books he wrote should populate on the page and you can't find the book unless you type in the exact title. So I might have bought more books if I had a complete list of that author on the page.
I would like to know the standard shipping of the sellers when I am choosing which book to purchase.
I was able to find what I was looking for quickly.
Ordering was pretty routine we'll see how it goes from there
Easy- good prices, shipping seems high for books, but I am glad you have books that I want,
Thank You!
Tried to type in a savings code- wouldn't take
Was very easy to find exactly what I was looking for.
