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.

A wide selection of books at reasonable prices. There a variety of subjects offered on Alibris, so it's easy to find something of interest to you.
Was easy to use. Having a $4.99 shipping charge for a $3.00 book was a little weird though.
Prices are awesome and book arrived in excellent condition. Also customer support was stellar. I would definitely order from Albris again.
I can always find the book I want or need easily. The site of origin of the book is clearly shown.
The book was old and pages were yellow. However it was readable. So all in all, I am satisfied with the book.
Item arrived in. Good condition but it took a while to arrive.
Very easy transaction and very affordable price today. Will definitely order again soon
Easy checkout, great selection, happy with purchases in past
Pages load slowly, hard to find free shipping eligible books. Shipping is very costly.
The book was suggested by my current bibliography on Amazon Kindle. It wasn't the kind of book that I'd want to read in electronic format, so I looked for a hard copy. I typically search hard copy books on Ebay, and Alibris had the best combination of condition/price. Book was delivered in a reasonable time and I would buy from them again.
Same as title. I was able to find the textbook I needed for my course and really cheap too! Once I received the book it was in the same condition as was described and even better!
Very quick and well set up. Navigation extremely easy. Will be using again, thanks
Great resource for ordering books, I love this site. I would highly recommend Alibris!
Easy to find what I needed, quick shipping and good communication from the alibris team. Will definitely be a repeat customer!
I thought the $5.00 off coupon would be applied to this order. Im sure Ill get it on the next one though
I always have a good experience with Alibris and have been a customer for more years than I can remember. The quality of their books is as described and I receive my orders promptly.
I always have a good experience with Alibris and use it often.
So happy to finally have the catalog of a wonderful exhibition
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.
