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.

Tysm. This was so easy and efficient. I was looking for this book for my work as I am a social.worker
This textbook is very specific to child abuse
It appears a refund was issued a day or two ago because we all thought it was lost; however, even though the book dealer said the refund would still be valid even if it arrived at a later date, I thought you should know it arrived last night. I cannot tell a lie. :)
The book arrived in a timely manner, however the cover had been cut off (not uniformly, but at an angle, clearly with scissors). It was also not the translation I was looking for, that was confirmed by the seller before I made the purchase. Lastly, "do not resale" is stamped all over this book. The half-cut cover is the most irritating part because the pages fold over it while still early in the book, causing further damage. As for the wrong translation, still seeing how that will affect my liking for this book.
I got the book I wanted at a lower price than on retail websites. Alibris typically has the books I want and need of quality value and at a lower price than their competitors. I appreciate the transparent scale of "best" - "poor" to rate the quality of the product. It's been accurate every time I've ordered.
So easy to find just what I was looking for Check out super simple
Easily found item I wanted No need to submit more characters was satisfied with purchase and push to add more characters was not needed
I was not satisfied with the delivery time, it took a long time for the order to arrive
For a service that has cancellations so often, I would expect the shipping to be less than it is. When several books are shipped together, the shipping should not be the same as one book. For this reason, I try to buy elsewhere.
Amazing quality, well satisfied, would order again, book arrive in perfect conditions.
One of the best websites I've ever used. Seriously. Wait! You still use Yellow symbols on white background. So hard to read yellow on white! (ask around)
Easy to understand,...logical order, good menu, I'll stop gushing now! Seriously, this is one of my favorite websites for ease of perchase, with good value. Keep up the good work! CM

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.
