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.

Easy to use web site. Ordering was quick and easy. I am so glad that I was able to find it
Like the site. Like the selection. Like the prices. Amazon wants everything and I'm determined they shan't get it.
Often ex-library books, damaged books, etc. But really low prices, so I get it. Its a swing and a miss sometimes. Occasionally they cancel your order bc theh don't even have what you want in stock. Would still recommend though if you need a book asap.
Very easy and informative. This site a good variety of Music CD
I'm happy to buy books from someone other than that big monster company. Love Alibris.

Alibris makes finding the right book and placing an order a dream.
It took seconds. It took less time than filling out this form
Great experience, got a like new or new (hard to tell!) of a favorite picture book I wanted for my grandsons.
Ordered a textbook that came in looking new. Arrived early
Shopping is Fast, Easy and accurate thanks. I purchased a CD today
I found the book I wanted quickly and it was delivered as promised on time.
Great offerings. It is the best place to look for books and videos.
Quick and straight forward, super easy to find what I need at the best cost
Ordering process was fine but then I got a message that they were out of the book. That's all. It wasn't a big deal but I couldn't give it a 5 rating due to that.
My shopping experience was effortless. It's the best source for books new and old.
Never disappoints. Always new discoveries. Very exciting!
Easy to find what I want at a price I can afford. Site gives all the info I need.
My husband requested this book so I am glad I found it. It will complete the trilogy.
The book received was filled with removable tabs and sticky notes from a previous owner. While it was not hard to remove them you would have thought the seller would have done this to make the book more appealing. It did take me 5-10 minutes to carefully remove all tabs and the external stickers. The rest of the book is in good shape so all-in-all I'm pleased... just irritated that a little more care wasn't taken before shipping.
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.
