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.

Easy to use and find actual books. Any genre and any author are available at your fingertips. This is having the biggest used bookstore in the world to browse.
This book can be hard to find, so I'm thankful I found it and got it quickly. I was a little nervous in spending a lot for a rare book, but it was a great process.
Good condition and rapid delivery. I have to do 100 characters for the review so I guess I will just keep saying the book was as ordered and the vendor provided rapid service and I am happy with the experience.
Quick and easy. Book was in great condition. One hundred characters is too demanding. The other two are very good and I am just hitting words on auto suggest.
Fast and efficient response. Always have the books I'm looking for. Prices are great! I have recommended this site to many people.

Book came even faster than anticipated and was packaged well and was in excellent shape. Would recommend.

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.
