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 found what I wanted and bd bd bd... that's all folks...
Easy to find good price! OOOOOOOH, you want 50 characters here... once again, I am HUMAN; I AM NOT AI ELABORAT, POETIC OR WORDY IN MY RESPONSE to your questions to me. My advertisement for your product is SHORT SINCEREAND SWEET; in my opinion!
Pretty good; however feel there should be coupons for 77 year olds regardless of purchase balance. We have difficulties with weight and maneuverability with orders.
Fast and very easy. I wish all sites were this fast and easy. I'm very appreciative.
I felt I was misled about the $5 discount for first order - code of "THANKS". I didn't see any mention of a $50 minimum order until I was trying to place the order at checkout.
Book was readable but definitely not "very good" condition. There were blemishes on the cover and spine, and the images were (hopefully) water damaged.
Cheap books, and I need CHEAP books for school! I will most likely be using this company in the future.
Good. Price was fair. Shipping a bit expensiveI don't want to keep commenting. Wby do I need to enter 50 characters
I have always liked alibris. Shopping here for years, first time I've had them direct ship somewhere else than to my home.
The books I ordered arrived much sooner than I thought they would. Thank you.
I was impressed with how quickly the book I ordered arrived.
Shopping and checking out was quick and easy. I await to see the product
Thanks you for the books. Arrived fast and in good shape. Amazing experience.
Easy site to navigate. Price for my desired book is very reasonable.
Delete my SSN immediately! Your having it and displaying it violates my privacy and likely the Constitutional right to free speech!
I found the site to be user friendly and I was able to select all of the books on my wish list!
Got all the books but one which was no longer available. Too easy.
Got my dream books and i am happy. Glad to have revisited alibris today.
The book were received and all were in good condition, thank you!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

Answer: HI Zoila, Delivery timeframes within the States are usually between 3 and 8 days, but it depends on where the seller is that is shipping the item to you.

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.
