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.

Just as I ordered! Would probably order again as things came quickly and in great condition!…………………………………………………………………………………………….
Easy to use website! Seemed like a more professional website.
Tracking could be a bit better but thank you anyways. Books came safely. Some were clean and some were dirty
I found what I was looking for at the price I liked. Everything arrived in good condition and in a timely fashion.
I found everything, I was looking for. It was quick and efficient.
Once I pointed out that Alibris was sending the books I ordered to the wrong shipping address, Alibris took steps to correct it, and I received the books at my home address.
Easy to check out as guest. I'm not going to add more to this, except that they want more characters.
Just because I ordered one thing, I now get an almost daily email from Alibris. STOP IT!
I got the order just fine... now leave me alone.
So far so good. Enough Said...…

If I had not received the book you would have heard from me... why do I have to respond to additional emails?
I have ordered several times through Alibris. I always am very satisfied with my experience especially when I receive rare and hard-to-find titles. Thank you!
Got my book sooner than later, and am enjoying the title muchly. Not much else to say. I appreciate reading? Hate late stage capitalism?
Very good and I will use Alibris every time I need a book, they are getting much better, There was a moment when they were very chaotic.
Very satisfying experience. Can't wait to repeat it but have too much to read right now.
Clear, easy user interface and good prices and selection. Thank you
Brighty of the Grand Canyon came in great condition; I'm re-reading it as a back-drop for the memoir I'm writing. Margurite Henry's books were my favorites when I was in elementary school, especially Misty of Chincoteaque, King of the Wind, and Justin Morgan had a horse. What would I have done without Miss Henry? I would never have passed fourth grade!
Arrived on time and in good shape. Shipping will never be the speed of Amazon, but patience is a fair trade off. Thank u
I ordered a used book in very good condition. What I received is obviously a brand new book at a third of the price new ones are selling for. Thank you so much.
Su servicio y envios son rápidos. Y sus precios son accesibles.
Great condition! Hard to find book. Came quickly and exactly as advertised!
Great reading of the story about slave trade and the overcoming of the tragedy of slaves in the 🌎 Read the story about overcoming chains
Great price air miles great been a customer for a lo0ng time and seldom disappointed
Good book, good service. Seriously dislike these demanding follow surveys. I'm happy to check a box or two but having to write a bunch of crap is annoying. I probably won't use your service again.
Quick, easy, and there were no problems. Look forward to reading the book online.
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.
