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.

Good prices, easy ordering.Everyone should shop alibis. Com and save money. I will again
Thank you.
I had a problem getting the right shipping information into the system. For some reason I was getting a shipping cost of over $300. I finally figured out how to change my information and the shipping came out to around $20
Good experience for an interesting book describing old Singapore
Clear site, easy to find interests, helpful when closing out with benefit of greater discounts that may be available.
Good value, delivery speed and condition of the book. I will buy from Alibris again.
High shipping cost surprised me. I usually pay $3.99. Cost of book itself was very low, so it's ok. I decided to order all three volumes after reading the review in the NYT today.

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.
