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.

Good selection and prices. I was looking for a book about beekeeping. There were several thee as t were in my price range which important to me as I am on a fixed budget. My son plans to take up beekeeping so I felt this would be a nice gift to give him. I appreciate a company that offers a good selection with competitive prices.
The descriptions of the books are always detailed, accurate, and therefore very helpful to a collector.
Wonderful experience and would definitely order from this company again. Really, really loved the book

I ordered a book. It was very hard to find it very hard to get and they got it to me very quickly and the quality was outstanding. It was printed to order and I'm very pleased. Thank you so much.
If I cannot find a particular title from any other literature retailer.…I know Alibris can!
Alibris always delivers! If it is not in their inventory, they know where to find it. Past experiences have shown, that Alibris continues the search until the item is located. And at the right price.
Perfect. Arrived quickly and in good condition. Don't have anything else to say so am just trying to get to 100 characters. Good book, by the way.
Good to know that you deliver and receive orders in an efficient manner. I will consider from Albert's again. Thank you
A few too many hoops. I don't have anything else to say. Why do you want so many words?
Always come here first to see if used copies are available. Have never been disappointed with the condition of the books I have purchased, the ease of purchase, or with the delivery.
I am very pleased with my order. Placed order February 13 and received February 24 via USPS. Prices for my books was reasonable.
Website has totally changed since I last shopped...its user friendly, enjoyable shopping.
Great books and prices always happy with my orders have a great day today
Very happy with this rare book that's about my GGG GRANDMOTHER
Easy to navigate to find what I was looking for, shipping was fast and had what I was looking for.
I ordered 4 books, all of which were art a very low price and delivered very quickly. I'll definitely buy from this seller again!
I was looking for an out of print book, and there were several available. I chose one from a reputable seller, in "very good" condition, for a very reasonable price. The product took a while to ship, and upon receiving it, it was not in "very good" condition, several pages were heavily damaged, but fortunately, only on less important pages for my purposes. For the price and ease in using this platform, and my disappointment being more to do with the seller, I'd still highly recommend using Alibris.
I've been purchasing my books from Alibris since 2020 and have always been satisfied.
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.
