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.

First u said u can't use my pay pal acct so I chose to use my wells Fargo acct, then at the end u said u used my pp acct. I hope u didn't use both because I can't afford that! Only one plz.
One of the coupon codes wouldn't work (the site said it expired), but when I added more items and tried another one, it worked.
Not sure why all possible titles did not come up at once, but rather at the bottom of each separate title -- adding more titles as I ordered?!
Found tracking which site was sending book a bit confusing.
Could not find how to get the coupon code for 10$ on my purchase today. The purchase amount with shipping was $99.94, which should have been $89.94. I would appreciate it if you would apply the discount that I qualify for. Thanks, Mike
I have an account but don't remember the password. I went through the reset process three times and never got the email to change it.
Found my title quickly. Good price & the book was in good shape
I purchased a book from you for 3.55. A few minutes later you say you can't fulfill my order, but if I want to repurchase for 1.00 more you can. You have the exact same book but now want to upcharge?
I love that Orphans Treasure Bos is allowing me to find good buys from many different used book store site while ministering to some of our most vulnerable people: children in need! Gob less you, Orphans Treasure Box!
Hard to find cd. Could use more stock on some Der Christian and Christian Rock cd
Wonderful resource for old books and movies…. Such a good way to share an experience with an old friend that lives in Hawaii, especially when neither of us is very mobile.
Great place to find out of print books that I want to share with friends. When I had to travel for my job, it was a great resource for audiobooks.
Wonderful resource…not only for less expensive used books and audio books for myself, but also for new books for gifts that are from 20 & 30 years ago that I cannot find elsewhere. Easy to navigate
You do not get the option for Billing address- - just shipping!
I always get my orders without a hassle, The orders From THE YARD SALE SHOP located in New York are My Favorite ordering business. Package the product so secure and always send in no time at all. Even send a personalized message, which is so kind these days. No,. 1...
Anice alternative to Amazon. I wanted to read this work by Kara Swisher. The Burn Book.
Easy, quick and I always find what I'm looking for.
It's been a long time since I've ordered from Alibris. Had forgotten how great it is!
Fast, easy, quick, and the prices are very good and turn around from order to receiving item(s) great.
I use Adobe Digital Editions and I don't know if this is compatible but I think it is as it's an EPUB book, but it worries me that Adobe isn't mentioned on your site.
You took my money and told me it was on its way.then at the last minute i got you response that you cancelled our contract. Hell of a way to do business.
I find it perplexing that I am charged full shipping for each of 5 identical books ordered from the same vendor. Not efficient!
So far, so good. I just hope the book arrives as promised.
I can always find exactly what I am looking for through Alibris. It has been my go-to for years!
The books I was looking for were here, at used bookstore prices. The website made it easy or me to browse, to and select and drop items from my cart.
I am always satisfied with the service from Alibris.
I like Alibris books because I like to read a book by holding it in my hand and turning the pages, and I can afford to buy used books. I have never been dissatisfied with anything I ordered from Alibris.
It is easy to find what I want at an affordable price.
I'm so thankful for your economical books and the ease with which I can order them.
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.
