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.

Shipping costs changed on me during check out. Shipping is VERY expensive!
You guys are amazing! Engineering textbooks to James Baldwin. Connecting sellers to consumers is a specialty you have!
Shopping was Great & fast. Filling out the billing which is different than shipping took me several attempts. Prehaps my phone is slow but I persisted ( this is the 2 ND co. I have tried to order from) so? I am pleased my 4 yrs old granddaughter will have this book for a ThanksGiving bed time story. Thank you. P.S. I love Ray Arroyo xo
I love using Alibris, but shipping costs are high.
Love to buy books from individual people/companies, not Amazon!
Found good coupon code and free shipping! Very easy process.
IT IS ALWAYS GLITCHY AT CHECKOUT. I HAVE TAKEN STEPS BEFORE INCLUDING TODAY TO UPDATE MY ADDRESS AND CREDIT CARD AND THE SYSTEM DOESNT SAVE CORRECTLY.
I am so happy to be able to get 4 copies of one of the greatest books I have I have ever read. A few more of my friends will be pleasantly surprised... thank you for making it possible.

Only bad thing is that shipping charges are so high.
Amazing catalog of new and used books.
Lots of choices in formats for a given title.
So far, except for one that took awhile because it was coming across the pond, I say I've had positive experiences and interactions.
Found the book I was looking for at a good price, easy checkout
I won't really know how good the shopping experience was until I receive the book.
Great Selection, fair prices, and best of all, my money is supporting a smaller company instead of Amazon.
Easy process, first time buyer. Hope all goes well with this order.
I really appreciate being able to purchase used books - I like paper books and I like to have less waste in the world, so I will pass these along.
Have used Alibris several times over the last 20 years, always very prompt shipping, items as described. My go to site for hard to find books.
Some books are shipped w/o protection and arrive damaged. I would appreciate if care was taken to protect book corners, etc., as why pay for a 'very good' or 'like new' copy just to have it arrived in damaged condition with lowered status?
I found what I wanted. Only a bit of bother in searching for my password.
