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.

Seaching for books is easy with Alibri. Enjoy the diversity of titles and ability to find rare or out of print books.
Great price, easy to find book wanted.
There should be a prompt to allow you to, mid-transaction, update your ENTIRE profile before returning to the checkout. Having it broken into pieces on different screens makes it seem as though you may have missed something
You pull in customers with under the guise of a 5 dollar discount, and then ONLY upon checking out is it specified that there is an order minimum to use the discount--DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING costs you!
Always great! Very easy to find all of the books I wish to read, even new releases.
I adore Alibris. I can always find the books I need and want. Delivery is prompt and courteous.
It had the books I was looking for at a reasonable price
I am delighted to have Alibris when I am looking for books I want to own.
I couldn't go back once at the pay page to get the discount. Additionally, both books were coming from the same store, shipping shouldn't have been that much.
After a long absence, I found Alibris again...still a member on file. Happy to work with you again. Site is easy to maneuver and place an order. Prices great. Shipping a bit high, but so is everything else these days.
I love the fact that you can choose from various vendors and quality for best options.
Had many books in my cart that had taken an hour to all find, and when I made an account and signed in, they all disappeared.
The website is clean clear and concise. Thank you so much for your assistance
I've not yet heard of this site but the amazing price drop for this book made me give it a shot
First time buying from here and so far the experience feels smooth and clear.
Could not get the "first timer" code to be accepted
Easy to find the book and liked the price. Hope it arrives as promised.
Super easy to navigate and got my ebook for a great price!
Your Greek section mixes Ancient, New Testament and Modern Greek. Confusing. People usually study only one of them, or one at a time.
I like shopping for books here, because whether new or used, I'm always pleased with my purchase both with the quality of the book ad the price.
Always happy with alibris appreciate your existing

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.
