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.

I habitually send books to my loved one in prison, and this service never fails to deliver! Thank you and Good bless!
No hassles, no worries. Product as stated, delivered timely. What more could I want?
Item was delivered promptly and arrived in as-described condition. Will continue to use Alibris for my book interests.
I ordered two "used" books. They came and are in mint new condition. I have purchased from here in the past and will again in the future.
Very lovely and happy. I really enjoy music and sounds. Glad to have found this spot. Very easy to use and safe.
It's a book. Alibris is excellent at what they do. Don't ask me again. I don't have 100 letters to say. Alibris be thankful I don't have a problem with you other than your insistence on wanting a long winded review of...
The book arrived earlier than I expected. It arrived in excellent shape!
My book arrived in time in great condition, the price was amazing and I'll order again in the future as an alternative to Amazon, to give more books a 2nd chance and not end up in the landfill.
The order process was quick and convenient. The saved search feature is a great way to purchase hard to find out of print books.
It's easy to find the books I want at a price I can afford. It's easy to search the inventory.
Easy, intuitive. Pure search experience
Without promotions or advertising. Nice!
Received book.
Postage almost as high priced as the text is only draw back. Thrift books ships all books together. Postage less.
I wish the BOOK shipping EXPENSES were lower. Cost almost twice the cost of my book.
I love Alibris. It is very easy to find books and complete the purchase process.
A great option when purchasing books. The prices are very competitive, and the selection is even better.
Easily found the right book, Easy account creation, sadly no international shipping cost calculated until checkout. Overall okay.
It's a good book with loads of information. The author is certainly an expert on the topic and he shed some interesting light on my other recent purchase, which I found out, was from 1884.
The book was delivered and received by a family member in good time. The tracking option on the site was very helpful. Thank you. They were delighted!
Great new place I stumbled upon, to shop for new and used books. Excellent selection with an array of titles and subjects to select from. From new to old books, the selection is endless. Enjoy!
Found everything fast! The descriptions of each book's physical state of repair is really helpful.
Your service was fast and I thank you for that. The book, French in Action is ancient and does not meet my expectations at all. But
I chose it so nothing to do with you. I donated it to a thrift store.
Love the low prices and fast delivery. Underatted site for text books, cds, and dads!
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.
