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.

Shipping costs are getting high. I don't need these that quick. Go to media mail option PLEASE.
I always have a good experience with this site. I just wish their shipping was lower.
Easy-to-follow guidelines and good item descriptions. Plus, nice bold prints and colors on the webpage, too.
Fast and convenient. The shopping experience was easy and enjoyable.
First time purchasing through Alibris. Took some exploring to understand how it's set-up but understood the structure quickly. Hope to continue purchasing used books this way in the future.
I found the quite unusual book that I wanted, and found it fast.
Shopping with alibis.com is a delight.
Living to get out of time...

The clock tiks and all I can do is count the meaninglessness, why do it? When I can miss the nuance of rhythms.
It was easy to find what I was looking for. The cost was what I was willing to pay.
You had a CD that I was looking for at a cost that I was satisfied with.
Website super easy to use and great at recommending related books.
I just loooovvveee the customer interface because you can easily surf to similar books on particular topic. It is such a pleasant wander, chucking books into my cart! Thank you!
The Alibris service has been doing a super job of helping me find books.
I have ordered from Alibris for years. It is always a pleasure to deal with your company and to purchsse through your site.
Thank you for your help! I appreciate your sending me this book.
Great price (way cheaper than ebay) and excellent condition hard to find old anime dvd. Case, front/back cover artwork, and disc in great condition and works properly.
Because I am 74 years old, it is hard for me use cell phone touch keys. Because I cannot see errors when doing password, I had to re-enter password numerous times.
I am a repeat customer. I have never had problems with any of my orders. The books come as promised, in the conditions in which they were described.
It was easy to browse, easy check out, quick and clear form to fill.
Happy to have found this book in your store.
I have never had a problem placing an order or receiving on time. They even will notify you when there is a problem in shipping and can't fill the order or get it to you on time. I have found this to be a great location to find Ladies Bible Study materials. And I have recommended it to several people as a resource for materials. Thanks!
I lead a ladies Bible Study and have purchased from you for my study materials for many years. Thanks for the opportunity to purchase materials at a fraction the original cost.
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.
