Found an out of print book I was looking for at a better price than Amazon! Shipped promptly and arrived in described condition. I'm a happy customer! Reason I chose this business: Price was great. Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: February 6, 2025Even with separate shipping costs from third party sellers, the total prices were better than elsewhere for these rarer books. Alibris even allows coupon code usage despite alternate seller purchases. Reason I chose this business: Availability of items & discounted prices make the difference! Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: February 3, 2025Average experience overall. Meh. I don't like getting pestered for reviews by Alibris and I don't like not having a choice to prohibit my review from being published. But that's the way Alibris set it up. Hope that helps. Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: February 7, 2025I looked on all the major online shopping websites without success. Alibris came to my rescue with a plethora of old editions of books that are in good condition. The only problem was that I was using the book to discuss pathology at work, and it took longer than expected to ship the product. I am used to 1 day shipping. Anything more seems like a drag. Reason I chose this business: See my review. Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: February 4, 2025Alibris' prices often can't be beat anywhere, making this one of the best sites to order books from. The only thing that sometimes prevents me from ordering here is when I need a book quickly. It typically takes 1-2 weeks to receive the book. Books are typically in visibly used condition with multiple stickers on them, which does not bother me. Reason I chose this business: Unbeat prices Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: January 31, 2025Fast & Fair. I was able to find my title, then sort pricing and condition rapidly so as to come to a reasonable solution far faster than Amazon, which is now bloated with clutter and poor pricing choices. Reason I chose this business: Amazon was too pricey. Date of experience: February 4, 2025Almost all my orders over the last 20 years have arrived in good time to my address in Australia. Of the one or two that didn't arrive, Alibris provided a full refund. The website is easy to use and there is an excellent selection of products. Highly recommended :) Reason I chose this business: It was easy to find the book titles and price range required, and I have had very good experiences ordering from Alibris in the past. Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: February 3, 2025Easy ordering experience, informative descriptions and instructions, bought the book I wanted, in good physical condition with dust cover, at a good price, that arrived in a timely fashion, undamaged in transit. Overall... exceeded my expectations. Reason I chose this business: Huge selection of books, supporting local and independent sellers, helping young people. Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: February 4, 2025Multitude of Reasonable Prices to choose from. I don't understand why some merchant would "Tape" all over the book the word "Used". The sticker they use does not peel off easily, thus making a big mess. I know that I'm purchasing a used book, so, I do not think that it is necessary to have so much sticker that says "Used". If they are doing it so that their staff avoids mistake, a label on the spine should be enough. Reason I chose this business: Multitude of Reasonable Prices to choose from. Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: February 1, 2025Several options were available, for publisher, condition of book, when published, and for the different sellers... all good information, and easy to differentiate and select. We have purchased books and other media through Alibris for twenty years, always being happy with the service. Reason I chose this business: Ease of use. In particular, ease of locating desired items, and the range of prices, dates, and publishers. Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: February 7, 2025The Alibris website functions very well and is easy to understand too. The shipping is fairly fast too - yet with staggered arrival times, as they are being shipped from different bookstore locations across the country. All of the books I bought arrived in good physical condition too this time. So that is good. I like the helpful notifications via email as well.

My only qualm is paying for shipping for each book instead of paying for shipping once. I understand that these books are coming directly from sellers and this how shipping is calculated, but does make me pause from buying here since I know I will be paying usually an extra $5 of books. If they could find a way to charge one shipping fee at checkout that would be stellar, but overall I love using this platform for used books! Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: January 28, 2025The book was supposed to be considered good, but I found that there were many underlings in red pen and pages with their corners turned down. First time I have been disappointed in the quality of the book. Fortunately, it is a reference book and not one I would re-read many times. Reason I chose this business: Alibris has good prices and a great number of the books in which I have an interest. Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: February 7, 2025Alibris is the ONLY source I ever use to order books! I've been using it for many years, and have been extremely satisfied with every single order. Thank you so much for your wonderful service for readers! Date of experience: January 29, 2025LOVE your website! A little disappointing that shipping is so much more than the book prices...but I imagine that's out of your control!

ALIBRIS is my "go to" site for ordering books, always! Reason I chose this business: I have been an Alibris shopper ever since we discovered, years ago, that we could find and order copies of my late father's books! He was Don Stanford, author of THE RED CAR, his most well-known book for teenage boys. That series of adventure books for young people was the best work of his whole long writing career! "The Red Car" was dedicated to my brother Kent, and "my" book dedicated to me, was "The Horsemasters", which was made into a Disney movie starring Annette Funicello.

Arrived just when it said it would and in great condition, so hoping I can sell it and get half my money back later too. Reason I chose this business: Savings. Own. Market. Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: February 5, 2025Site works refreshingly well. Things make sense, the options I would ever want are easily visible, and when I scroll down I even see alternate book covers on the specific edition pages so I can choose by image specifically what I want. Good job. Reason I chose this business: Because your $#*!ing site works. Date of experience: January 31, 2025It's good and fairly user-friendly. I just wish it were easier to switch between different version of books by the cover, so the customer could choose the cover they want easily and browse only that version of copies. But at least you guys have the different covers' images! Reason I chose this business: Half the titles I want are never at Barnes & Noble and I refuse to feed the monster that apppropriated the name of our most valuable rainforest.

Orders are processed quickly, and most of the sellers I've bought from are diligent at following through on their end. Don't get mad at Alibris when/if a seller is lazy, inefficient or uncommunicative. * Alibris attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond Value Shipping Quality Date of experience: January 26, 2025Alibris is my "Go To" for musical resource books, service from the sellers has always (with a few rare exceptions) been excellent... although it's been Increasingly "the pits" with USPS as of the last year+... not the sellers or Alibris' fault in any way.
