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.

Ordering this book in "like new" condition from a store in Reno, NV. While checking out as guest, site told me I had an account. Did not remember password so had to "change" it to log in. After all that, the page with my book was no where to be found and nothing sowed up in my cart. I went back to start order over again again and now it's coming from Illinois in lesser condition! Why didn't my cart "hold" for log in?
Quick and easy, always have been able to find books, no matter how rare.
I really love shopping here. It's quick, easy and I almost always find a great deal on the book I need!
I prefer Alibris to the larger sites that take business from local bookstores.
It was a very very very very very very very very fine experience.
Thank you! I got my book quickly and packaged nicely. Good price.
Very simple and quick! Seldom have any trouble with an order.
Good shopping experience, no problems! A successful transaction!
Easy and smooth transaction but the book was overpriced. I had no choice but purchase the book. It was for a birthday gift.
The books were easy to find and it was easy to determine the condition of the books.
Highly recommended, would buy again from the same bookstore
I was glad to see the book I wanted was in stock. Placing the order was easy. Let's see how delivery goes. Stay tuned.
I go to Alibris to pick up a book that I've read about in some review, or that I took out from the library and finally had to return before finishing it, or on a topic of interest. The selection is terrific.
Always have a great experience shopping at Alibris. My go to for every book I want.
The books that I have receiving from Alibris have been so poorly packed that they arrived damaged. This is poor business practice and I do not appreciate having to reorder the damaged books.
I landed a hardback copy of "The Killer Angels" in excellent condition for less than the price of a comparable paperback copy. Included original dust cover. Very prompt, secure shipping at reasonable cost. The website is not the easiest one I've navigated, but it proceeds logically.
Very good overall. I quickly found the title I was looking for at my price point. Entering the order was simple & quick. One quibble: I would have appreciated a picture of the actual book I was buying, since I am buying used, not just a generic picture of that edition.
