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.

I hate the high price of shipping even from same seller.
I would buy more books if shipping were not so high
I've never ordered before. As long as I get my purchase, I'll probably shop again!
I do believe your shipping cost for one paperback will not cost $4.99 so it's frustrating to pay that amount. Yet, I'm very pleased with the cost of the book itself!
Lots of variety! Thank You for the great prices and selections. Peace & Health to Us All.
Happy to find the book I wanted at a good price and another book I liked.
My experience with Alibris is insuperable and very valuable for me.
Always have been a good experience shopping with Alibris.
The book was just as advertised and arrived on time. Thank you!
Alibris makes shopping for books simple and quick.
FOR SALE ITEMS COULD BE BETTER CATALOGUED (SAME ITEM/TITLE KEEPS SHOWING UP LATER), BUT PATIENCE PAYS OFF. LOVE THIS SITE.
Love the prices, and to date everything I've ordered has been exactly as described and expected. Great dealers.
Seems fairly easy. Will see how.long it takes to get books.
So far so good. Very good experience books were in pristine condition
Took a few too many steps, but if it makes the seller feel safe, then OK.
I had 30 books chosen, placed multiple in wishlist. All disappeared and had to start over.
IT's a great store and it's so cool getting a used book instead of a new one!
Great experience from a great website!
I was very pleased to be able to find this book at a bargain price. It is an autographed copy. The book arrived when it expected in excellent shape
The book that I ordered Adam Pendleon's Black Dada arrived in excellent condition and was reasonably priced for a much-sought-after art book.
I'm pleased with the discounts that I found on the used books that I ordered. However, some of the books advertised at a lower cost were not available.
The shopping experience was good, it's the fact that you add $5.00 to each item. Not sure that's what it would have cost for the two items I would have ordered other wise.
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.
