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.

Pros: Books easy to find, prices often excellent.Cons: Adds tax for product (even when shipping to New York, which does not tax used items) and for shipping, which isn't taxed in any state in which I've liver.
Easy to find books with search, love that it displays least to most cost.
Yes, you failed in the final invoice summary to mention that the order is a hard copy edition. Could not contact seller because that is an automatic failure on your part as well. Disappointing!
Such a large selection as well as the used books option is awesome and sustainable but the shipping cost can be quite high making it more expensive than it would be if I were to by it new
I don't like that the website pressures you to make an account
So far very efficient! Looking forward to receiving my book. Thank you
Love being able to find what I am looking for! Thank you for having such wonderful choices!
Order Cancellations need to be more readily available, btw.
Great site to search and find large print books. Thanks.
Ease of locating desired book and of purchase made my shopping experience pleasant.
Books listed "starting at $2.72": I couldn't find. I searched many copies and it was not at that price. Maybe the listing needed to be updated.
However, You are my go to source when I'm looking for a book in great condition and a fair price.
Book added to my cart disappeared when I logged in. I couldn't wait for it to age out, so I had to choose another one. Obscure book, not a book in high demand, so I know I was not beat out. Cookies/token need to work better.
The website works well but everything really is dependent on the sellers themselves, so we'll have to see how my purchases actually work out
Any book I want I can find it here at a resonable cost. Plus they are in excellent shape.
Always have the books I want, great condition and good price.
I love Alibris! Always amazing and cheap books that ship fast.
Easy. Able to reach out to the bookseller with questions. A lot of choice. And thanks for the coupon.
I have ordered several times, always got the books in the condition as described. Didn't need to contact customer service. Only oddity that you need to be aware of is the price of shipping. $3.99 per book, or $2.99 for every additional book from the same seller. Gotta factor that into the price.
Never received book. Misplaced my order number so I'm screwed. They have conveniently blamed Covid-19 as rendering them incapable of contacting via phone.
Thank you page takes a while to load, but found what I wanted
