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.

Received my book in perfect condition very quickly as tracked.
Very straightforward. Post took some time from the USA to a Mediterranean island!
But that was nothing to do with either the bookseller or Alibris.
Very pleased.
I miss the $1 coupons. That was incentive to buy from Alibris
Your shipping charge is unfair and should be 50% of it is.
$25.00 for shipping is bad business.

Excellent. I had good experience before. Nothing further can be said. Thank you
I have been able to find just about any book I've searched for, prices are very reasonable. All the books I have ordered have been in very good shape.
Good prices, great site, and I've found many books and music that I couldn't find anywhere else.
This was my first time using this site. The books came relatively fast. The packaging was a little damaged on arrival.
Voracious reader here.
First time.
Hope to become a long time customer.

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.
