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.

Love this place. The prices are reasonable. The products are in good condition too.
I wanted the books to be mailed to Larry Anderson, but they arrived at my home. What went wrong? They were a gift to a 90 year old reader that does not live any where near me, now I must get them to him at additional expense.
Alibris did a good job. It is the postage that is so outrageous. But I know Alibris can't control that.
Please provide a publisher search parameter. The print on demand publishers are flooding the market and are over priced. I would like to be able to refine titles by publisher.
Free shipping is a game changer 50 more characters and we go z
Lots to choose from and good pricing to boot! Still trying to find some hard-to-get books but maybe one day...
Always easy to order and find deals. Competitive pricing is a plus!
Love Alibris. Always there with the best prices! Even with shipping, still the best price around.
Love this shop. I check all my purchases here first. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
.. But in described shape. It's a gift, so I'll just be passing it along. (Come on, really? Won't accept my Review unless it's at least 100 characters.) R we there yet? ' :P
The book is exactly as described, It was well packaged and delivered in a timely fashion.
Many thanks!
Very easy to place and pay for order. I found a used book for less than $3. Even with shipping the total was about 85% cheaper than buying new.
It was pretty easy to purchase these books wish there was a cheaper shipping options.
I found a nearly new book at a very reasonable price and purchased here after shopping around at other online sites I have used before.
Thanks for being there Alibris! You da man. Thanks for being there Alibris! You da man.Thanks for being there Alibris! You da man.Thanks for being there Alibris! You da man.
Good experience overall, though with one of my books the delivery date changed 3 times, making it to arrive later and later. It did eventually get here 1 day before the latest date change, though.
Good prices, and I am pleasantly pleased the last book I purchased got here even earlier than expected.
Wonderful, thank you. Arrived in time. Will enjoy watching it tonight. Have seen the before still worth owning.
So far, so good. Easy to advance through the website. Looking forward to buying more books from alibris in the future. Your prices seem quite reasonable. I'lll be telling my book club to give your company a try.
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.
