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 love that you are not Amazon. User friendly site is nice. I hope to get a call if anything goes wrong.
Easy to process. Anxious to receive and start my 15 minute meals with Jamie. Love his show.
Awesome. My children's favorite books for my sister's 1-Year-Old Grandson!
Found Book that was hard to find. I used to read this book to my children and now I want to get it for my great-nephew.
I like that I can take my time while deciding what I want.
I like shopping at Alibris. Missing images and descriptions on some items can be disappointing. But the site is easy to use for the most part.
Your shopping cart could make it easier to keep tabs of our total if it included shipping costs, instead of me having to use a calculator to add in the shipping of each book. You don's see the combined balance until checkout. Also, it was hard for me to change my shipping address to a family member. Once I finally figured out how to add a shipping address, I had to reenter my credit card information. You could have made it easier to select a different address than my own.
I have been looking for this book at an affordable price for ages. I am so pleased that I found it here!
Am a return customer to Alibris. Great company that runs very efficiently. They never disappoint.
I was thrilled to find a book I had not been able to find anywhere else.
Very difficult to order. They lost what I had in the cart. Took a long time to place my order.
My basket was not held s. Sometimes you find a book 2 minutes later it's gone. I like the prices shipping is expensive, but I'm glad you are there. So it's helpful and cheaper and it's putting books and Bibles to good use. So people can believe in Jesus for everlasting life! Thank you.
I usually find the exact book I want on your website.

Pretty quick and easy, just how I like to purchase things on the internet
Search is very easy and effective, good info about available books.
Love Alibris--supporting booksellers without supporting Amazon. I like the choice of copies and prices.
I had a very difficult time finding how to pay and an even more difficault time verifying that you had the correct address for me. You should allow your customers the opportunity to verify such info.
It took too long to place my order (over 30 minutes). I had to repeatedly put down my credit card information. This is not the first time this has happened.
It took too much time to pay as a guest. I was also trying to register with current email address to change from my old email.
Always great
Appreciate the books old, valued editions $$
Keep up the great work! Cheers,tr
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.
