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 wanted to see the mailing charge on each item as I shopped.
Very clear instructions. Freedom to return to shopping at any time.
I was unable to change the shipping address. Tried twice, but when I went to purchase the shipping address had not changed. Frustrating.
I was supposed to get a $20 discount. But no matter how many times I entered "DAYS" it never gave me a cr3edit. How disappointing, although the availabilty and price on the book I was looking for was still attractive.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Yours Robert Etling, Solvang Ca. *******352
Easy to find the book I wanted, and thrilled it's in stock.
Had to use a different browser to actually purchase a book. You offer coupons but nowhere to enter them.
It's tough comparing all the different prices and remembering which booksellers I've already got in my cart. I wind up going back and forth to spend money. In the end it's worth it. I really appreciated the new Cart saving feature.
Very convenient payment process. I hope your shopping process will be the same and will give you another 5
Easy to find items, update account information and complete purchases.
Very streamlined. Easy to select price point of book based on quality.
Fast just as ordered love this site quick and easy
Super easy to navigate. I can always find what I need. Alibris is my go to for books.
Easy to shop and make the order, I hope to get my order soon.
Was looking for this book for bible study, and found one right away. Thank you. Hopefully, it won't take too long to get here.
This is just the ordering faze so hopefully the rest goes as smoothly
Alibris's online computer system is a breeze to use! It works so well and is a pleasure to use when ordering from Alibris, which encourages me to want to use Alibris as my first choice when searching for a book. Thank you Alibris!
Prices were great and the site was pretty easy to use. I would like a wishlist option or save for later that was easily accessible though.
So glad to find this book from Alibris which is not available in the libraries I use.
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.
