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.

Somewhat confusing at times, thats why i only gave you 3 stars
Have always been very pleased with every book I've ordered through Alibris.
Condition of books are usually better than description and always arrive in a
Timely manner.
Found what i needed. But wish there was a preview thumb for dvd cover. Some covers are different.
Took way too many attempts to place my order. Kept having to input the same information over and over and then the order still would not go through. Finally went after a long time.
Order packaged well and was shipped promptly and condition was as advertised. Happy in all respects.
Easy to search for the books and simple checkout. Wish there was a way to find books closer to my location so the book would not have to travel so far.
Saved a few dollars, book was in good condition. There were msny dog eared pages though. Still readable.
Alibi is very easy to use and gives great details about the books.
The book arrived a little later than I expected, but it was in perfect condition. I was glad to have a copy of this difficult to find book for my library.
The book came right away. When I ordered it it arrived in three day. The book is an Oprah Winfrey "What happened to You".
I love used book stores, and Alibris is the next best thing to brick and mortar! This time around I bought 'Wanderlust' and 'A Field Guide to Getting Lost' by Rebecca Solnit, and Catherine Reid's 'The Landscapes of Anne of Green Gables'. Delivery was quick and I'm enjoying my purchases immensely! Thank you!
Everything was as I expected, I have Rarely had a bad experience, and that is because I waited too long and somebody bought it first.
The book title was easy to locate and even resetting my password was quick. I really like the price.
Easy to use. Took me 5 minutes to order a book. Easy website search and find what youre looking for.
I got a great price on this book. Received quickly. This is an older, fairly rare book but it was still wrapped in what I think was its original cellophane.
Book came in the condition stated and it was a great gift! Gifting books that have had owners previously is a great way to make our mark on this Earth.
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.
