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 shopping at Alibris!, I can find the titles I am looking for at a decent price!
I purchased a second hand book that I received within the expected delay. As promised, the book was in excellent condition and was priced fairly, including delivery. I am very satisfied with my Alibris experience!
Received the book. Wasn't available at local stores or library. Received in timely manner, great price snd good condition
Quick & easy, good price for old book I read as. Teen & want again
$4.99 shipping on a $2.55 item is not realistic. The shipping is too high!
It's my first order. So far very good.
I hope my next orders go well to give a higher review.
I collect music CDs and will be placing hopefully multiple orders.
Thanks.
First time using Alibris. My order was delivered promptly and condition of used books was as-advertised and fully satisfactory.
Simple ordering and no delivery issues with the product that I ordered. What I wanted was rare yet they not only had it but were able to send it without any troubles. And to my delight I even received it within a timely manner.
I had a problem with being charged twice for the same tax. Alibris very quickly solved this mistake. I look forward to buying from them again. Thanks.
Sometimes books sell out so fast, that you may think you paid for something, just to have it sold already. This happened to me. However, the refund was fast and efficient. I was able to find another copy of the book I wanted on Alibris!
Easy to search and find what I was looking for! It showed pictures of the book cover so I could ascertain which title was correct for me (many are similar).
Once again, they do not disappoint. My book arrived in perfect condition. I hadn't bought a book in a while, but I was very pleased when I saw that Alibris had the book I wanted. In the past they have always been my first choice for used books. Thank you, again.
Books arrived as scheduled and in condition better than described. I have used Alibris before and have always had the same experience.
Always a fair price for great books. I've been using site for over 10 years now.
I liked the quick delivery. Where this was delivered to my daughter well on time before her birthday!
Book as new as stated. It was origianally published in 1912, so this is a digital re-print, photo quality is average (I've purchase a couple of these digital reprints), but print and binding quality is good. The story is compelling.
So many books you can find here, quick shipping and always a follow up to check on delivery. They are my go-to!
Fast shipping and great value. The book arrived in excellent condition ahead of schedule. This book is over 20 years old, so I was glad it was still available.
This was my last order from alibris. It arrived in a timely order and in great shape. I love 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.
