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.

The shipping option didn't come up until after I put in my credit card number. It looked like I wasn't going to get free shipping until the very last second.
I researched the options for large print Bibles and easily found one. It is bound with compressed leather and very nice. Thank you
I always enjoy shopping on Alibris to find books I can'r find anywhere else.
I would us this company again really wanted this book could not find sooner delivery!
My shopping experience was fast and easy. A great website. Thanks!
Alibris had a copy of a difficult to find book. It came to me in good condition in a timely manner. Thank you.
Tracking indicated both items shipped at the same time with the same tracking number.
The second item was received a few days later.
Lots of books, old and new, really affordable and quick delivery
Excellent, only suggestion is to make the option to receive coupons unmarked by default, and it is us who click if we want coupons.
I love Alibris. Free at last from Amazon! I'm so happy to deal with other book-lovers.
There's just a lot of writing inside of the book and the other person's notes. None of this was listed in the description
My shipping took a bit longer than I hoped. But, I am happy to support your company.
I am writing this to express my discontent about services provided by this company. I wanted to find a certain series of books from one author and was sure that I could but them here. The website showed me that there were some books in stock while the other part from the series would've come later. I've bought those books I wanted but several months have already passed and the other part of books... isn't supposed to appear in stock, actually. Why to promise, uh? If you don't want to lose face then please keep promises, live up to the expectations. Idk, I am angry.
I received the books in a short amount of time for a good price.
The book was a great price and came earlier than expected. It seems like it will be a great resource in the kitchen.
Great selection of books including out of print or otherwise difficult to find, in a variety of conditions and prices. Shipping is slow.
Haven't started yet. Can't wait to sit down, all comfy and getting comfy ready it.
Always easy to navigate to find my choices with the convenience of a quick checkout too. Thanks! Additionally, an efficient and quick way to send books to friends as well.
Each and every time ordering books from alibris is fast and easy.
Even books with limited distribution can be found in the strangest places.
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.
