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 have been waiting for the shipment for more than a month.
Great prices & selection so far just now purchased first time ever have not received any items yet
Right book, very good condition (your claim), good price
Informative and guided. Extensive selection (Hotel by Arthur Hailey I wasn't finding on amazon either)
I bought one book that was damaged in shipping, and nothing was done about the problem.
Then my books took longer than the shipping quote, and nothing was done about that either. But you have what I need, so I have no choice.
I had to enter my name address and card detail about three times, before i could place the order. Should make it simpler
I really needed to get that book faster than 6 days.
Would like a little about the story so I know which ones I've read. Still, the price is so good, I can't pass it up.
Easy to navigate and see descriptions of books i want. Easy to order.
I can generally find what I want at Alibris! Good job!
The site was easy to use, fast and I easily found what I was looking for at the lowest price I've seen. Very happy overall!
When books are listed they need to be described as a REPRINT of an old book if it is a reprint and not an or
Iginal
Good. I like this site much better than amazon. Thank you for asking. Better prices too
Hoping these are actually large print books. They are for my elderly mom and have wrong books sent to me in the past from other companies, so looking forward to trying yours!
I'd have liked to have been able to see my email address at checkout.
User friendly and great price. Love alibis for decades!
I like that shopping was not in any way confusing as some websites are. Thank you
Alibris makes shopping easy, quick and satisfying ~
Found what I wanted without too much fuss - the interface which allows the buyer to see the actual cover is extremely helpful.
Alibris is such a wonderful resource! When a subject intrigues me I can just go on the computer and find what I need to learn about. And because I don't care if it's brand new, I can get it for a terrific price.
It only took a moment to find what I wanted, order the Bible, then pay. Very easy and the price is great.
I love Alibris Bookstore quick and easy shopping. Great choices to choose from with great prices.
I love shopping with Alibris. Best selections at great prices.
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.
