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 was suppose to get a $15 coupon and it did not register
I always like the selection of books available; I'd also suggest using the sellers with free shipping if possible.
Good experience
-until right now. I answered the question.You have zero right to establish parameters.

I've used Alibris for years now, and I have recommended it to many, many people!
Thank you for an easy transaction. The book was in stock and in very good condition.

I've used alibris for 25 years and it continues to be my go to for hard to find titles
Found what I wanted, and more, at a reasonable price
Very difficult to change password. An email that was sent was helpful, but a delay
I found the book very easily. Creating the account and payment procedures were quick and smoothly.
I read a lot, and I can't keep up with my lists. I have yet to NOT find a title in Alibris, and the prices are fantastic. I am catching up on the Post-Frank Herbert Dune books, and Alibris makes it easy and fun to acquire the titles.
I heard of a book about Ralph Waldo Emerson as an American Stoic. I found it quickly on Alibris. There were a variety of prices and I chose one for my budget. The book came promptly and in perfect condition.
Found titles easily at a variety of places and delivery was timely.

Alibris books are an easy and economical way to always have something to pick up and read. The selection is very good, too! They make the ordering process quick and easy.

Just so easy to find the books you need or want. Constantly recommending Alibris to friends and family.
Great prices and very easy to navigate ending in a perfect shopping experience.
What a great site! Tons to choose from at all qualities with an extremely smooth purchase process.
I like shopping here. I wish postage rates were not so high. But that has nothing to do with Alibris.
No thank you. Please stop asking please reread this no thank you!
Found the items I wanted. Easy to search for items wanted and some details worth description
I always come to Alibris when looking for books and am rarely disappointed in finding what I am after.

Answer: Really Michael, contact you directly? Why should we have to. There is a bad trend here. Seems MANY of us contact you and you DONT respond
Answer: I saw the fake stellar reviews and did not dig deeper. I til... I had an issue. Initially, I wanted to give a small seller some business after COVID and the site looked really good. What a big mistake that was! Shame on this outfit.
