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.

Every book I have order has been as described. Very pleased.
Easy to use website. Good selection. My go-to for online book purchase.
Very confusing. I can see the book I want to order but when I actually try to order it it disappears off my order. Or if the order goes through then I receive a message that the book isn't available.? Trying a fourth time now...
So good an experience I just purchased two more books.
Was able to change card on file, thank goodness. Internet as such is increasingly less easy to use than in previous years. Hang in there.
So far so good. Depends on if it arrives safely, that will determine final satisfaction

I am often looking for previously published books, often not from big publishers. I can find what I want in good condition and at a great price on alibris.
Your site is organized so well and it only takes a minute to find what I want! Not so on other book/music sites, that's for sure. π
Online shopping, selection and payment options are great. Hopefully items will be delivered as promised, then 5 Star rating will be validated.
Can almost always find the books I am seeking, even if they are out of print. The site is user friendly
Easy and I can always find what I am looking for.
Alibris is easy to use; many obscure as well as popular books available.
Website is easy to use. Often has high quality items at reasonable prices.
Delivery could have been a bit faster, but otherwise this buy was a very good experience.
I love this book. It explains the Back Flower essence and which essence to use by client profile. The encyclopedia also identifies complimentary treatments of the other flower essences.
So quick and easy to find and purchase the books I want!
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.
