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.

Fair price, free shipping to incarcerated history student, my son: what's not to like here? Thank you for a direct & prompt ease of service to our needs with this book by the head Naval Intelligence Officer advising
Ease of shopping for this item was simple & direct; postage is fair, price is ok, time to delivery to a prisoner is excellent. Thank you: plan on being back again.
The price is fair, shipping is cost effective, the author is a devoted Christian, having written a Christian Classic: the shopping & details were extremely easy & user friendly as well as intuitive. My son is incarcerated and it's not even easy with some book sellers or their associated orgs to get an order shipped with State of Ga rules correctly followed to the letter of the law.
Thank you.
Thank you, Alibris.
Needed a pocket sized book for inmate to carry around with which to help other inmates having personal or interpersonal difficulties: thank you.
This order went better than expected, in locating the foul rule book of & for the purpose discrediting the Holy Bible, 1611 AV.
Found item needed by inmate, decent price & shipping. Thank you.
The title looked for "Inferno at Sobibor" by Szmajzner, is not available, in English. The story of the Jewish inmate revolt in and escape from the NAZI Polish death camp, Sobibor.
Great price and reasonable shipping!
Easy to use website and very friendly choices. Thank you so much!
There should be a field for a gift shipping address. Otherwise no issues.
So far so good. I ordered a CD for my Dad (one of his old favorites)
Always love shopping for books on Alibris. A++ experience
Good service, to be notified of an order cancellation and offered a replacement.
Good books in great condition at discount prices, delivered to my door. What's not to like?
Books are as described, well packaged, and are swiftly transported to me. I am happy.
I don't like nor want to put in an additional password to save the account info' Also the last book I ordered from you was listed as Very Good and had underlines throughout the book. That I consider a Good, not a Very Good used book
Clear and easy instructions to follow. Good experience.
I love how responsive the site is.
I love how search results are concise, but all information is available.
I don't like how shipping is calculated - is it possible to combine shipping on large orders to the same store?
Very good. Small suggestion: Limit the "State" input box to two letters for USA.
Ease of ordering and fullness of information on the item ordered. Thank you.
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.
