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.

Such a nice bunch of choices, selection for mailing costs is dandy. I really wanted to find these books. Thankyou for the detail with credit card application...however, I would request same if pressing "PayPal" - i've no bright ideas on how, tho.
This is a gift order. Zzz write if any concerns for delivery. Thanks. Michele 2-12-24 (go 49ers)
I was able to order hard to find music. Website was easy to use.
Easy to navigate the internet store. Great price for books.
My experiences have been entirely positive; and you have everything I could want
Easy to use, very complete catalogue
First, I'm so accustomed to free shipping via Amazon. To not only have to calculate shipping into the equation, and then have to have it apply to each book is more than I wish to do. Furthermore, it would be most helpful to be able to consolidate companies in the beginning, and from each company have greatly reduced shipping for multiple purchases.
Having 2 different shipping costs is crazy. Just ship them together for one price. The priced are expensive as it is. The shipping is 3-13 days as well, so it's not like it gets here fast. Not reasonable.
Thank you for almost always having the books I need at a fair price!
Alibris has the books I need at a fair price.
You have an excellent selection of the books I am interested in. Thank you!
Alibris always has the books I am looking for at a fair price.
I Started with a $15. Dollar coupon or free shipping. I got neither!
Having there be a $5 discount advertised for email signup, but it's only after you sign up that you find out it's for a purchase of $50 or more. Just kind of slimy.
Alibris is wonderful. To bad some of the libraries that work with Alibris do not pay attention to the orders and send the wrong book. Any how, it is a very good customer service when I got a refund for sending me the wrong book and not having to return it. Thank you very much Alibris, for sure I will recommend you.
So much easier than Amazon! Not a bunch of BS to wade through.
Happy with the books available. Hope their condition will be good. Easy to place order and added a coupon!
One of the books I was ordering was shown at $7.18, before I could purchase it -it was removed from my cart. If the book wasn't available at that price it shouldn't have been offered. Ending having to pay 13.95.
Return customer, easy to use sight and no dramas, books delivered on time and as advertised, thank you.
You guys have my 100% support from now on. You make it possible to buy books!
Alibris îs a wonderful source to find used books; some are out of print books, others just a great value.
Alibris often has books that can be found nowhere else! Alibris is a great resource.
Great prices; since I am ordering two books from the same store, it would be nice to combine the books into one package and save on shipping.
Always easy to use and great values. The descriptions of the books are constantly accurate.
You had all the books i wanted at absolutely great prices. EASY shopping
Love the good prices on books available here and reliable, fast shipping
So far so good! Wondering if you buy used text books too?
Like having a coupon and very much appreciate that the total order costs are shown before the order is placed!
Ordering is so easy, the selection of books is fantastic and the prices are well within my budget.
Great prices, great selection, dependable booksellers and a convenient website.
Gathering books for a ladies Bible study today. I am thankful I could find enough books for the whole group plus a book by Lori Wick that completes a set of books that I wanted to keep in my library. Thank you for your help...
I am very pleased with Alibris. I've relied on Alibris for over 10 years to find books to complete sets or to search out a particular genre of books. They have never disappointed my expectations and have been a bargain to boot. Thank you for your continued support and customer care... JG
I'm always happy with what I find at Alibris Books
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.
