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.

So far, so good. Hopefully English subtitles for German language film. But there's no need to be too informative, is there?
All of my purchases through Alibris, and there have been many, have been quite satisfactory.
Shipping costs are high, even when ordering from same seller
Maybe I missed it, but there should be some means of "continue shopping" from the order page.
Always easy to find exactly what I am looking for at reasonable price.
Great, hope the book gets here in no more than a week.
It was fine as long as the shipping is what it says it will be.
Have ordered from Hippo Books before. Was happy with purchase!
Quick and easy! This was the only website that had the book I needed for my class
Hoping that this ebook will work with my Kindle Fire
Didnt like that a search showed a cheap price but when i searched your site it kept showing me more expensive options
Good but initially I was only seeing much higher prices, until I finally found the more reasonable ones
So delighted to be able to ship my order outside the US! Thanks!
I liked being able to see shipping costs at the bottom of the cart so I could easily see exactly how much I was being charged.
I also love the availability of books. There's so many to choose from, I can't wait for my next order.
I thought I was going to get 5% off from my order, according to the pop up...
Accepted my European billing address without problems, many sites don't.
Found the book at a reasonable price, all my info was saved so it was super easy! Thank-you!
I hadn't used this source and it was difficult to get back on. The price I was charged was considerably more than what was posted on your web page.
Great selection of titles I've been seeking along with multiple options and terrific prices! Just wish there was a free shipping with a certain total, I would have bought a lot more, if so!
Just what I wanted to have in the middle of the night
Would like better pricing on shipping from same seller
Just wish shipping were less, especially if I order from same single seller

Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

Answer: HI Zoila, Delivery timeframes within the States are usually between 3 and 8 days, but it depends on where the seller is that is shipping the item to you.

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.
