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.

Found two rare books I was having trouble finding & I'm very happy!
This is my first time experience purchasing a book from alibris. I ordered a used copy of a structural engineering textbook, advertised as being in "good" condition at a very reasonable price. I am hopeful that the results will be good.
Most cost saving website for college textbooks! Don't look at any other website until you have searched Alibris Books to find your book for the upcoming semester!

Very easy to use. Grad school books are extremely expensive, I was delighted to find a good used copy.
Glad you had this dvd. Searched quite a few sites until I finally found this particular version. Many thanx!
I actually stumbled on this site looking for books that's not expensive and your the first company came up, I purchased four books less then $50 that would have been well over $100. Thank you
A little difficult to get orders done easily

Always a good source for good-quality books from reliable sellers.
Easy to use; very accurate identification of books through ISBN so I know exactly what I'm buying.
The site is very easy to navigate. I was able to find the book I needed and purchase it at a very reasonable price
I've dealt with Alibris before. Happy with every transaction. Books always arrive in a timely fashion. And are in the condition stated.
SHIPPING COST MORE THAN BOOKS.:-( COUPONS DID NOT WORK
I find all the books I'm looking for at an amazing price! Thank you alibris!
Tried and tried to find the book. So happy to have found it!
Very pleased to have found the books I was looking for. Very happy with the prices
I'm very happy because I found what I was looking for after extensive several hour search of online bookstores. Thank you for the work you do to make old books available.
My first time with alibris (in at least a decade, anyway). The site is very user friendly and i really appreciate how easily I can find details about book condition, publication date, etc.
Seamless process. Found precisely what I was looking for.
The website has major problems. Was unable to make purchase at library computer. Only able to complete transaction on home computer.
Site down a long time! Very frustrating and inconvenient!
This has been a very hard book to find.
Thank you so much.
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.
