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.

The search was right on target for my search for crochet toy projects. I can't wait to make the different toy projects. The pictures are great as well as the directions.
Some parts of the site are a little clunky like the pages for shops being displayed with a lot of white space, but I will happily take that over the modern shopping experience of having irrelevant "promoted" items showing up in searches and fake reviews.
Not user friendly. Difficult to get through the whole system when you're trying to buy something.
Looking for a product unavailable elsewhere at this price^_^
Excellent so far. I am a very stiff grader, this is why you got a 4 star. Nothing is perfect.

3 is average. If and when my friend gets this book I will update you too a 4. I rarely give 5s. That's perfect, nothing is perfect except Jesus Christ.

First order. Seemed easy. Will be interested to see how long it takes to arrive & what condition it arrives in
Lots of choices. That is all I have to say about that. I don't have anything more to say.

Always a good shopping experience. THANKS, Alibris!
Found exactly what I wanted for a great price! Easy to use website.
I have been buying books from this company for 20 years and am never disappointed.
Love alibris for cheap books and secondhand market. Easy to choose the best book, sorted by hard or paperback and by price.
QUICK and easy. Few to no 'hoops' to jump through. The question answering afterward is by far the greater bother.
Somehow in getting a new password, you emptied my cart. Had to refind and order again. But in the end, I did accomplished the task.
No need for customer service, everything went according to plan.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
