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.

This platform is the only one I could find that had this item in ebook form. The price was reasonable and checkout was quick.
You've mastered a user-friendly website and good presentation of the books. Keep it up, Alibris.
I noticed the shipping price went up a dollar to $4.99. It made me hesitate...
I've bought from Alibris for years. The items I've ordered and received have always been as good as, or better than described. They have been very good about correcting mis-shipments as well and that has been rare. The book I ordered was in good condition physically, however, the front and back cover pages and a few others were stained with a brown liquid. Coffee or tea? It surprised me. I didn't remember seeing that in the description but I may have overlooked it. I will remain a loyal customer though.
I love shopping through Alibris! The prices are wonderful, I'm able to choose the general condition of the book, and they help independent book sellers. I don't think there's been a single book that I haven't been able to find on their site. I appreciate that they have a Wishlist and I use it if I would like a book but am not purchasing it at the time. Also, it's exciting to receive notices when a book has shipped.
I love this site & would recommend it to anyone. I can always find what I'm looking for & the prices are really reasonable. I love how I can choose the price & quality of the book I'm ordering.
The shopping and shopping cart experience has been quick and clear.
My shopping experience is very nice and easy I just typed into Google, my search information.
Great choice and nice service! Good place to find books what you are looking for.

I can rebuild my truck.
I was able to choose the type of book I wanted for a great price. It was shipped quickly and arrived in great condition.
Ordered a book that wa published in 2020; had multiple quality options to choose from and the fair quality I ordered is perfectly readable. Order arrived reasonably quickly.
The Central Asian Textile book has water damage. I don't remember how they rated it but fair would be more accurate than good.
I was so excited to find this book at the price I did, and the shipping was very fast. Thank you.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
