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 placed my order and received delivery of my book without delay.
Easy to select, compare, and excellent price! Choices of prices and quality, as well as additions. I support direct purchasing, rather than feed Amazon.
Your site is my go to place for ordering books. Easy webpage to use, prompt delivery of books. Have never been disappointed.!

I really like the Alibris website. It's easy to use and when checking out there's an option to "optimize" the order to save money. Helpful! I love the price options and being able to choose the copy that comes to me. I really appreciate that thrift store books are aggregated together so that I can shop across the country and buy books that might otherwise go to a landfill. I wish the shipping time were a little bit faster, however I am willing to wait for the price I pay.
Alibris has been my go-to bookseller for required seminary books. Books are easy to find, are usually in stock somewhere, and usually a price that's nice. I really like the cart optimizer which helps me save time, bundles the packages, and saves me money.
I have been shopping at Alibris for decades. I love Alibris, and I always recommend it.
Good prices and nice shipping, you can tell they really care about their quality and way of work. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.
I got all my either coming or on the way! I am very excited! I'll continue to order as I need books!
I got the DVD, yes, thank you.

I was looking ways to order directly frim a bookstore instead of ebay or amazon and happy to find this platform. My book came in time in a great condition.
I forgot the password for my account and was to receive an email to create a new one but not to receive any email. I had to have my husband create an account in order to purchase a book.
I used Alibris before Amazon.
I'm going back to Alibris.
One downside is shipping costs were higher than expected.
I'll shop directly from Alibris next time.
The books I recieved where the same title but one book was an older copyright than what I ordered. I reported it to Alibris and they promptly issued credit. Good website to order from. Good customer service.
The price is good, the shipping was good, however the packaging could be better.
It was satisfactory. I got what I wanted quickly, and paid a fair price.
It took a while to get here but other than that it was pretty good. Solid packaging,no damages. Everything was good.
The worst part of this experience was having to leave a review everything else was good
The delivery and the packaging were good. If u are looking for the latest books, the price plus the $5 delivery can be the same as the original price. But if not u might get some books cheap and make sure to select the book according to the description given.
I received an out of print older book at a reasonable price compared to other websites and it was in good condition for a paperback. The insidr packaging was excellent with cardboard and the book was wrapped in a plastic cover.
I received my book fairly promptly and it was in good condition

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.
