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.

Alibris is my go online bookstore for hard to find books!
I have had a great experience with this website so far. No complaints, and I have some good luck finding the books I am looking for.
The purchase was easy and the best price that I could find. My first time shopping with Alibris, I will be better able to define my total experience once I have received the product.
I have been shopping here for several years. Alibris is my "go to" for used books. Love them!
It is wonderful to be able to buy such lovely books on all kinds of topics so cheaply. I'm trying not to kill my beautiful Orchid and am determined to keep it healthy and happy so the two books I purchased will surely help.
After placing my original order, I saw a book displayed for sale that was of great interest, at a great price. I am ecstatic!
Easy to find book, easy to enter data, good shipping speed. Looks good.
I was able to find the information I needed quickly, and alibris offered the best price I found for this book.
I would certainly rate it a 5, except I can find no way to change the phone number. I tried doing it as if I were changing the shipping or billing address, but could find no place to change phone number.
Found the book quickly; price was right.
Found what I was looking for at a good price, and if the book is received in the time frame indicated, I will be happy.
I was so pleased to find the right edition of this book at long last! I had searched unsuccessfully for hours.
I have used Alibris before, via Amazon, and always been happy with the service.
I have used Alibris over the years and recommended others to get their books from here. Always satisfied and can usually find what I need. Thanks for the good work you do.
Very efficient. I hope the book ships promptly. It is a gift.

It is always easy to deal with your company,. Thank You. From a Disabled Navy Veteran.
Changing the address did not updated the home address; had to go back and enter the address and credit card info twice.
Easy to use format. Had many options for what I was looking for.
Easy checkout & nicely displayed photo with description of book.
Found exactly what I wanted, and at reasonable prices.
I am always pleased and never disappointed when shopping with alibris.
This is my first visit. The only means I could discover of reviewing my basket was to add another purchase. Where is the basket icon? Price of shipping should be with price of book in basket. Display is too big for my screen. I'd like to see the book and it's price in the same view without having to move the display left and right. This has been a very frustrating, stressful experience.
Awesome price on book I purchased. Check out was fast and easy.
You guys are the best. I have probably bought 100 books from you over the years and I hope I buy another 100 before I'm gone.
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.
