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.

As described. Shipped fast. Very reasonable prices. I will order from again! They have a wide selection.
As soon as I purchased my book online, I received it instantly. There was no hassle or inconvenience. The experience was fine.
Thank you for your quick response after I had concerns about whether my book would arrive or not. Good News, I have received my long-awaited book! Thank you again for responding and acknowledging my concern. Have a splendid day!
Easy to find what you are looking for; always multiple options to decide condition and price I am willing to pay. Thanks
Smooth, as always with Alibris. In the early 2000's, I worked for and managed a 3rd party distribution company in Reno, Nevada. We handled book distribution for Alibris - to the Western United States. Mark was a part owner of Alibris at the time. Even back then - Alibris did things right! Richard Schroeder
Love the price of the product, but thought I was getting a $5 discount on this order, but will still be happy when I receive products.
Great book, better-than-described condition, good price, fast shipping, easy transaction! I recommend this seller to everyone without reservation!
I placed an order. Within the stated time the article arrived without trouble. I was very pleased. More than that, no one should expect.
No problem encountered at all. Item shipped quickly after payment confirmation. International delivery took a bit of time, but that was to be expected.
Totally smooth buying experience with Alibis. Com Tracking takes away any concerns. Great company to deal with.
The condition of the book was described as very good. While the interior of the book was in good condition, the exterior was quite discolored. Personally I have rated it as being in good condition & offered it at a lower price.
I bought rhe sopranos season 6 part 2 and it stated in very good condition, and when received, the dvds didnt want to play and said no play, and 1 had a very deep gouge in it, customer service was great, i got a refund of my full purchase, i dont think id hesitate to buy again, but this was very disappointing.
I thought the book would be in pretty good condition; it was better than that. I would have been happy to receive it as a gift.
I found the book I needed, for my book club, at a very convenient price and shipping was fast! The book is in pristine condition.
Ok was received as described on the web site. It was fast shipping. I appreciated that. I will definitely order from them again.
I ordered a rather expensive, hard to find book, so of course I was a bit worried about it arriving safely. Indeed it did! In excellent condition too. Really appreciate you having access to a book that I could find nowhere else!
Easy to navigate website and lots of books to choose from. Alibris had the books I needed at a great price and shipping will be fast.
Fast, easy to navigate website. Alibris had the book I needed at a much lower price which encouraged me to try out this website.
Great selection of books and great prices... easy payment with PayPal.
Alibris is very simple to use - and quick to check out. I am always happy with my orders.
It was extremely easy find the book I was looking for - and also to check out. The whole process took less than 3 minutes!
I have orders a three books from here and each time the order went flawlessly and came relatively quickly because I'm a slow reader, so I wasn't even finished with the last one love this service.
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.
