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.

Purchase was easy, product described and price reasonable and shipping cost on same page.
Easy to find and decide on a book. To choose between condition and among differently rates sellers if also important.
Fast and easy. Wonderful pricing. I found exactly what o was looking for immediately.
Fantastic site. Very easy to maneuver and get around! Sometimes, it's not easy to locate specific books. I am completing my Master's degree, so finding this book was vital. I will definitely start buying books here. Not to mention, this book is in Dallas, so I will get it before my class starts. I am very pleased with Alibris and will pass this website on to other colleagues.
Books came as described and well priced. And had the advantage of not helping Jeff Bezos get another yacht.
Best deals on books and biggest selection. Always find what I'm looking for
Great pricing and reasonable freight. Easy to look up product.
Fast shipping, item is exactly as it was described - will buy from again!
The book arrived as a very beautiful history of "World War ll at Sea" with no problem and as expected.
The above "review title" was the title of the book that I originally ordered but received "AMERICAN GENERAL,The Life and Times of William Tecumseh Sherman", by John S. D. Eisenhower.
However, I am satisfied with the difference.
My mother had this book, and I could not find it in my library system. Since my career path was in the medical health profession, I thought it would be very relatable. The book was just as it was described, and arrived intact, though I would have preferred better packaging. This was a reflection on the seller, not Alibris. Very excited to read it now!
Great selection, especially older, hardcover books. Decent prices too!
Very happy with quality of packing and shipping, plus the value of the books I purchased.
Alibris pulls together hundreds of book sellers in a format that is easy to search. I trust Alibris to use reliable sellers and offer good prices.
Satisfied. The items arrived on time and in good conditions
Thank you so much for your great service! My book arrived in great shape
Excellent. Book was in great condition. Well packaged. Timely delivery.
My first time ordering at my greatest convenience. Thank you.
Huge selection of titles, most at extremely affordable prices. All delivered in a timely manner.
Happy to see so many choices for the classic children's book I was looking for.
I received the book in good condition, as described in the listing.
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.
