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.

Wish I could order more at this price. Very fair- I've ordered a few of these studies already- will continue to shop at Alibris.
The book arrived in worse condition than I understood it would be. It was not in good condition
Easily found what i was looking for and the site is user friendly.
Good selection of value books. Easy to use site. All I need to say.
I understand the shipping costs but that's why I'm not buying more at a time just too much, but it is what it is. Like my experience so far Hope this makes it to me because USPS has lost two of my packages in two weeks. Namely this particular item.
Love alibris! I have used it since I started college and now I am in grad school. Affordable and reliable.
I bought this book in under 3 minutes. This was a record until you made me put in more information. Quick message should be 25 characters.
Good I ordered the book and I am reading it. The book is about Machu Pichu, a place I have visited.
Your website rejected my stored credit card for no apparent reason and I had to reenter the same info to get my order to take.
Like ordered through Alibris! Highly recommend using this service.
Love this site! Lots of books. Easy to order and so many to choose from.
Shipping is fair price, books arrive promptly. Better than Amazon! Thank you!
I got a great used book (terrific value for the price!) which was delivered quickly to me here in Canada. The only issue I had was with Sitejabber's follow-up survey. That email asked me if I received my order, but it didn't remind me what my order was! A link to the order page would have been nice. I had to go to my Alibris.com order history to see what it was that I received from them recently (I totally forgot!).
My shopping experience was fine, no complaints! Thank you.
Stated good condition but workbook was written in half of the book.
I will definitely order it again. The books I got were in great condition and it was a very fair price.
The prices are very reasonable. I am always looking for discounts on books, especially recently published books, which are always more expensive. Alibris is a great source.
Great price on a great book! I am a huge fan of Jack Whitten's work and cannot see his current retrospective at the MOMA. This is the next best thing.
Our town of New Providence was home to Reverend Caldwell during the Revolutionary War, and we were looking for this title "Reverend James Caldwell, Patriot 1734-1781" to add to our public library's collection of local history. We were so grateful to find this out-of-print title by a seller in Vermont, and it is now available for our community to check out, to learn more about this local historical figure. We are extremely pleased with the fantastic condition of this book, as well. Overall a great find.
As a writer, I use Alibris often. You guys are completely reliable and have the widest reach for titles on the planet, a worthy foil for A*****, the evil empire. Thanks!
The order arrived promptly. It was well packaged, with the books in perfect shape. They were accurately described on the website. I am enjoying reading them!

Love having a variety of purchase options and always Grrrreat 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.
