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.

Now that the post office is back the parcels are arriving in two weeks instead of two months=as long as the discs play on my machine =super great bargains!
Instructions are relatively easy to follow and complete.
Super easy! I did forget that I had a cc loaded for my Alibris account so it surprised me when the order went through so quick! But that's okay!
I was glad to find this site. It was super easy to use and a great alternative to Amazon!
Straightforward and complete descriptions of books- very quick process to get what I was looking for. Great price, even with shipping.
Quick and easy. Enjoyed the description and history about the book.
First time user. Delighted with selection I found. I will share this site with friends.
Good prices and information as well as decent shipping rates
All good looking forward to receive the movie that I love so much
Website is very easy to use & prices are very reasonable!
Very quick and easy to find what I wanted and check our.
Have had the books I've needed the past few times I've visited. At a cheap price too. Packaging for shipping could be better though. One book came in an open box if it rained i would a been in a mess. Lol
The shopping experience was easy. I look forward to receiving the book and hope it is an important addition to my collection.
Good price, reasonable shipping. Hope it comes fast!
I had LOTS of books in my cart, but the shipping charges were ridiculous. $22 in shipping for $14 worth of books(including a few $1 paperbacks). I chose the 2 I wanted most, to where the shipping still made for a decent deal as compared to ebay, and I'll get the other books at another time from another source.
It was very easy to find and purchase my book with PayPal within a few minutes.
The parables of Jesus vol 2 with a picture "to follow" was actually vol 1. Had to reorder from different company.
Everything was organized clearly and easy to follow.
Easy and painless. Had EXACTLY what I wanted, even found a 2nd title which I bought it was so well organized and effortless. I will DEFINITELY buy again.
I hope this book comes quickly. My son; s birthday is 9/1 and this is a gift.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
