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.

Good Experience
January 30, 2025

Alibris had the book I was looking for, the price was right, it arrived by the time promised, and was in excellent condition. I gave Alibris less than 5 stars for the online shopping experience only because they make it difficult to opt out of unwanted cookies.

I was apprehensive about ordering through Allbris, but I checked out the seller and they had good reviews, the price was fair for how used the book was and it was not bad. My book was in excellent condition.

Convenience, variety, decent pricing
January 30, 2025

I can almost always find what I'm looking for and it feels good to help local bookstores. My only request is to have the option to get books, if ordered from the same place, at the same time to save packaging, etc.

Used book deals
January 30, 2025

I was very pleased with the service, I ordered a book and paid less than half price. The only downfall was USPS, as they tracking number was never entered into the system so I could not track my purchase. Not the fault of Alibris. I did receive the book in a timely manner. Will use this service for those hard to find books.
