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.

Ten out of ten. Got the book, hopefully I'll get around to it sooner than later but I'm in no hurry. Bye, I love you.
Thank you so much for finding me this very special, much sought after book. I am researching family history for my grandchildren, the Douglases being on their paternal side. I am after another copy, so I'll keep an eye on your site.
The book looked great, it arrived fairly quickly. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
I was very pleased with my experience, would order again. The only issue is them asking me to review and make me keep writing until I get 100 characters, I hate that
Start to finish, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Very pleased with my new books. Thanks.
I specifically ordered "Fine" because I didn't want a book with writing in it. It had writing all over it and water damage to boot!
Thank you for all your help for all the info and effort in find what i need it. Mostly for your professionalism
Too early to tell just made a purchase so far all went smooth and was a good experience
I found the books I was looking for, they sound like they're in decent shape, and the prices were good.
My experience was good and will be recommending your good business mindedness to my friends.
The books were according to the conditions of descriptions, and am happy about that.
This was probably a book about George Frederick Handel. I ordered three in the last few weeks. I've only just gotten started on it.
I ordered the book and it took two weeks, it took over a week to send, and another to arrive. I made note of the seller and will not order from them again.
Found the dvd I've been looking for and it was at a great price! Thank you! Quick at shipping too! I'll definitely be a returning customer and recommend you to others!-
Very fast delivery and packaged very well. I am happy with this book and the delivery. I will be happy to use alibris again.
Every book I've received has been exactly as described, often even better. Plus, their prices are incredibly fair, and delivery is always timely. It's a fantastic spot for any book lover looking for great deals and reliable service!
Purchased 5/6. Was expected 5/19. Arrived today, 5/29. Pretty long wait. Was a gift for someone out of town. Therefore I have no info to share as to its utility. Gave 2 stars because it took 3 weeks to arrive.
Book ordered arrived in good time, was as expected, very good service, would recommend others to use the company, many thanks.
Very helpful shipping reasonably priced. Book price very fair, buying other items from America has always been easy, many thanks Bob Michalik.
I had previously ordered the same book (50 Shades of Chicken), which had arrived earlier this month damaged. It was in the mailbox with the outer plastic envelope ripped, and several pages of the book crumpled and torn. Because it was intended as a birthday gift, I ordered a second one of the same book to replace this one, and this most recent book arrived unharmed. I think that the first book I ordered went out from the sender in fine condition, and the fault was with the post office / delivery service handling of that book in transit. At least the second time worked well - and arrived just in time to be the birthday gift.
I found various options of what I was looking for, and the transaction was easy.
I also got steered to other things I took an interest in, and ended up buying something more.
I didnt realize i was obligated to descibe my purchase experience. It came. Im happy. What else can i say?
So easy to place my order and i received exactly what I ordered and received it within the time frame I was given.
Always easy and pleasant and great selection, been shopping with you for years and am a happy repeat customer
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.
