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'm new to Alibris, so not quite comfortable navigating the site. But I persevere and find that the dvd rating code is spot on, the pricing is quite reasonable and varied, and the delivery estimates are very good. Plus, just about every movie I could wish for is listed.
Unbelievably, great prices for such a treasure. I ordered a book that usually cost $200 bucks if you purchase from bookstore. However, from Alibres, I got it for $5.00. Isn't that amazing. Love it….
Used Alibris before. Great selection, generally lots of options. So far, always good
Great experience, thank you!
Quick delivery, tops notch service and communication.
Fairly straight forward to use. And easy for a novice like me.
I liked the website. The service was efficient. But this survey is annoying.
Great experience! Plus I am doing it for a very long time...Best, Miro
Alibris had the particular book I was looking for in new condition. They accept PayPal, which sealed the deal.
The book I received arrived in the condition it was described in. Thank you!
Good selection, easy to use website, very helpful. Used Aliaibris years ago to complete my collection of everything Agatha Christie.
Thank you for your simplicity and good prices. A seamless experience.
It was more economical than Amazon. The checkout was fast and easy.
Listed like new condition, but there were dents and scratches... Definitely not like new.
I am open to buying to used books, but listings should reflect actual condition of book.
You notified me of book. Easy check out except for pop up save $5.
I couldn't believe it when I saw the Little Maid series on your website. I read every one of these books years ago and it brought back many wonderful memories!
Always quick, I appreciate your "improve your deal" function.

I have tried to order a first item but the transaction was stopped by my credit card. I used PayPal the second time I have orederd a new item. It went fine.
Easy to locate books. Selections from price to condition to sellers all good.
I have always had no problems buying the books I want. Alibris has a large inventory that provides titles related to my search. Titles I have seen, titles I am specifically looking for, and best of all, books that are
Of the subject that I did not know of previously. It's kind of fun to look through the list of sellers and decide on going with the store in Portland Oregon or in Baltimore Maryland or wherever. All in all an efficient commercial interaction.
It was really easy quick and easy. And the cheapest price I could find.
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.
