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.

Everything good! Great buys, even on new books. Good service. Wide selection, which is great because sometimes I need out-of-print books. The one time I had an issue with a book being delayed beyond the time I needed it, the bookseller refunded my purchase.

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.
