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.

Alibris is my go to for many books. Always easy to search and purchase.
Easy to search and find what you want. Great selection of books and authors
Quick, easy, big selection, and affordable. No sweat process and variety.
Nice choice of clean used books. This is important to me because as a Secular Franciscan, I read many Catholic books.
Appreciate the description on used books. Compared with other used book sellers, this came out on top
Alibris is by far the best place to shop for books. Not only are you supporting local businesses, but you get the deals on books you wouldn't get anywhere else.
Most books are available. Finding them and purchasing them is easy.
Books available and delivered quickly, I will definitely use the site again.
The shopping experience was quick, easy and straightforward.
Enjoyed browsing, good prices. Shipping is really expensive.
As a teacher, I appreciate your vast resources, especially NON-Amazon, because I boycott all things Amazon!
I especially like the cost comparison done by your system so I can save additional money if I so choose.
Easy to navigate and easy to find what I am looking for. I return to this site often

Easy, efficient, quick delivery Thank you! I appreciate your service
Alibris is great. Easy to use and usually has a used book that works for me.
Very simple and priced right.
No problems with the product and played very well.
First time ordering on line. I was surprised at what I could find my books that can save so much money. The cost of books are so high these days I really appreciate the savings. Will make more purchases with the money I saved. Thank you. A very happy customer.
Great service and very happy with the books received. Will be ordering through them again
Shipping charges doubled at checkout. Somehow the book, plus shipping, plus tax equals a round $30 figure - just 10 cents short for coupon eligibility.
Nice to be able to find books I seek, ordered by price, and to specify the hard covers I prefer, and even patronize bookstores I like.
Forty-two characters should say it: The web-page is straightforward and clear.
I ordered The probabilistic method via Alibris from Book Culture Inc. It took approximately two weeks to be delivered to me in regional Australia. The book was as described.
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.
