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.

Quick ordering, quick delivery. Very nice prices. Thanks for helping me give the gift of literacy.
Alibris was excellent in shipping the book. Looking forward to reading it!
Good search tool and condition listings. Prices are fair..
Good search capability. Easy checkout, wide range of available books
It is a good initiative and will continue to support. One can find out of print books for good prices. On the other hand, would like tracking information; I had to ask for it with all of my purchases and some of the books I got are a little worn out with yellow ochre pages- past the expiration date and perhaps should not be sold. Thanks
I really appreciate being able to source quality books that have already been previously loved (in order to preserve our precious natural resources), and Alibris has provided me the service I was looking for. Thank you!
No complaints. Item received as described. Good used condition.
I ordered 3 books, one on May 22,2 on May 25. The tracking numbers that I was given told me that the first book was delivered to some hotel in California. The second and third tracking numbers told me that each of those books had been delivered to Hackensack NJ. I scrambled around trying to find where I could ask about this, finally found a link to Customer Service and sent an inquiry for each book. I received an email about the books going to some kind of centre to be sent on from there. Ok, I can do that. I got a message about the first book and the tracking number showed that was the case. Nothing about the other 2 books- their tracking numbers still showed and said that I could pick them up at a mail box in Hackensack NJ. I made another inquiry and was told the same - that they would be forwarded, but have seen no evidence of the other 2 and the tracking number info has not changed. So, yes I did finally get the book I ordered on May 22. But I'm still bamboozled about the other 2 I ordered on May 25. Thanks for asking.
Easy to use, great to deal with, always receive what i ordered
Very good ok
Very good very goodddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
It's always great to get just what you want when you want it. Don't get me wrong - I love to browse. But when I'm ready to get a particular title, I don't need to smell it out.
Easy to use interface with so many choices; vendors communicate well with me as a shopper!
Easiest shopping I've ever done! Very user friendly! Fast shipping
It was quick and easy. I look forward to getting this book. I saw the author on The View show and was impressed with him.
I have not cooked anything from this book yet so am unable to give a review at this time.
My book arrived in perfect condition and quickly. I will definitely be ordering again……………………………………………
Shipping is too high and it is not shown until after you order
Books arrived a few weeks after order in decent condition. They were shipped directly to the address without complications.
Really happy I was able to obtain this movie that I saw when I was a kid and always stayed with me. The movie wasn't exactly how I remembered it, but nonetheless incredible to see it again.
Very punctual, very clean book like new. I waited only a week and it came. I used to own this book long time ago but hurricane Harvey in Texas lost my wonderful book. It took me many years to search for this book.
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.
