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.

This is the place to find the impossible-to-find, obscure old tome you thought was out of reach.

Unreliable booksellers and longer than expected shipping.

I had two books in my shopping cart and then went to read reviews on the Authors other books. I returned later to find my shopping cart empty. When I tried to order the same books from Alibris, that were in my shopping cart, I was told that one of the books was no longer available. Can a book be sold to someone else that's in my shopping cart? Very frustrating JohnL
