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.

Easy, quick, clear description (provided what arrives is what was described)
No function to track books in a series. Work'd last time, not now tho
I am the author of this book. I was impressed by the price, until I saw what you were charging for shipping.
An alternate shopping cart was offered that would save me money on price and/or consolidated shipping. I selected the recommended alternate but when I went to check out, I got the original cart. No matter how many times I tried, I got the original cart. Also, I found a book/seller I liked and a minute later that selection was gone.
I found two of the three books I wanted and I saved ~$10 over what I would have paid on Amazon.
Extremely obnoxious that you forced me to decline TWICE to be placed on your coupon mailing list. I do not want emails from you people. I just want to be this book and then have you LEAVE ME ALONE! Got it?
Always find what I want. Like having the choice between new and used. And I try not to use Amazon!
The site had many issues such as items disappearing, or not being able to log in, or not being able to have a different shipping address from the billing address.
The website is easy to navigate. Your prices are better than Amazon.
I just love Alibris so much. I get 90% of my books from here!
I ordered an item an hour ago, and it's gone? So, I have to go through the hassle of reordering. Really!
If I receive the book as promised I will be a happy customer... The ordering process was very simple.
It was quick and easy but I wish that the search function was more productive.
So far it's been easy to find books I want and order i have no idea how the mail process is. I'll wait and see.
I am a bookseller at Alibris. I am signed in as a seller without a problem. But I was unable to sign in with my account (username and password were rejected for no discernible reason) when I tried to check out, so I had to check out as a guest.
It was fast and easy to search and purchase books. Thank you.
Most all i look for i find here reasonably priced it's good experience so far
So far everything was there that I was looking for its a lot for shipping though
Would like to know how many copies are avail up front
Smooth website easy to navigate good shipping cost responsive
I felt suspicions checking out the coupons. No coupons were available, I paid the full price.
I have always found Alibris the best resource for books. They are most reasonably priced and have the books I'm looking for.
Disappointed that there was a "trick minimum" involved with $20 coupon note. Recommend prorating - or being transparent in original email
