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.

I appreciate knowing where the books are coming from and what kind of owners had it before me. The fact that this book had notes was actually a plus, sellers needn't hide details that could be the reason a different buyer makes a purchase!

My husband sold books with you before he passed away in 2014. I still have so many and wish I knew what to do with them.
