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 found what I wanted quickly, at a good price.
You had what I was looking for at a decent price. I was shocked at how much some of the books have gone up in price. When I'm buying a used book I'm not willing to pay $16, or $30!
I found what I was looking for quickly and easily. The check out process was simple and straightforward.
Your website did not like to save my billing address for my credit card. It took me like 45 minutes to figure it out. I like this service, so please don't take this as a complaint, just an opportunity to improve service
Chomsky would be proud of your Language skills...After all.he was Born in Philadelphia.like W.C.Fields.
So far so good except my order for oxford ab Urbe condita
I always find what I need at Alibris. I have recommended this site for years as a great resource.
It is rare I cannot find a book that I want, and at a very good price!
You have shipped me the wrong item. Also, shipping takes forever. I want to support you and I will continue, but if you would address these issues, I'd be grateful.
So far so good. Missed place for gift note. Where is that?
Easy to find book in hard and soft versions, different prices, rating of seller appreciated
Thank you in particular for careful instructions regarding Canadian zip codes
Found the two books i was seeking with ease, choice of how much to spend per book. See pric3 options readily. One book i want new. The other i didn't mind and glad to buy a very good used copy.
I would like to know what I am paying in shipping before you take my credit card #.
Easy to find what I want and easy to navigate purchase.
The optimization causes my order to change from DVDs to VHS, then won't let me get rid of the VHS, I had to start all over 2x. Made me very, very frustrated.
Some vendors send bluray when they list it as dvd.
I love to shop Alibris. I am a repeated returning customer and will be back!
I always have good results when shopping with Alibiris
Good price.just what I was looking for and new condition is a plus. Thank you.
It took 5 or 6 times for me to complete the billing and shipping address because the website kept crashing and disconnecting me so I had to redo the order.
Haven't ordered in several years. Updated my credit card info and zipped right through ordering process.
Sometimes the book I receive is in much worse shape than the description. This wasn't the case a few years back. I now feel uncertain of the quality of book I will get, even when I have double-checked the differences between "good" and "very good," etc.
Ease and ability to locate publications and order. Thank you for your quick service.
My shopping experience was super convenient and easy.
Quick and easy way to finish a library book that cannot be renewed. Works for me!
Excellent Selection of most books. Ordering from nearby sellers speeds delivery.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
