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 liked the cheap price of the book and ordering was very easy.
I love Alibris. Was looking for a copy of a childhood favorite (published in 1972!) and Alibris had many options.
Found what I wanted quickly and checked out within 10 minutes.
Good search engine and a first-class selection of options
Cheapest online text books I have found and all in one place.
You had the book I hoped to find, and you made it so easy to order it and have it sent to my sister as a little gift of encouragement. Thank you!
I had a little difficulty finding the book I wanted. I also had a little difficulty entering a billing address. Otherwise good.
Password reset slowed transaction but kept it secure.
Got what I needed at the best price I could find and was in and out in 10 mins.
I have always been satisfied with Alibris. There prices are the lowest I can find for good quality books and their service is exceptional.
Straightforward, easy. Would have been nice if told in advance what the shipping fee was
Very efficient. It would be nice to be able to sort by price.
Yay for me and naked men. The male physique nude photography books rock.
Easy and quick, Hopefully the shipping is the same!
While the low prices are considerable and unimpeachable, I'm very annoyed with the high threshold for most coupon codes and the fact that those thresholds only count the item totals instead of the order totals, especially considering that the emails I get about them say they're counting the order totals. Thus, including taxes and shipping, the actual cost required to use the coupon codes is considerably higher than advertised.
Very good. Just had a tough time finding all books in series. I had to have names of books instead of just typing in cape light series from Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer.
It's been quite some time since I ordered a. Book from Alibris; your checkout process made it easy to edit COA and payment info. I don't need this read yesterday, so a bit of a wait for delivery isn't a big deal.
Thanks for having this great book and making the order process easy!
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.
