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 always love shopping at Alibris and I tell people about it all the time.
Your site is well organized and easy to use. I always quickly find what I'm looking for.
Website easy to navigate... great prices. I recommend books to chaplain students in my CPE classes. This is a perfect place they can purchase those books.
Although two of the books I ordered arrived in great condition, one was water-damaged and smelled moldy and musty and made me sneeze. Because I live in Arizona I left the book out in the sunshine for several weeks to kill the mold, otherwise I would have thrown it out.
The interactive qualities of the site (i. E. how much needed to use the coupon code) were very helpful, and I'm pleased to say that I didn't just get what I came to buy, but one more item as well.
A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! A-OK! Thanks opfisjoijorjgdsfobmspofjospjpojbfpo'jfspojsjsfpobmsfomjbjoprjpojporjspop
The shopping experience was quick and painless would recommend it to any of my friends plan to use it again whenmy local book store can not provide me with my request for a specific book for a course or for pleasure
Ordered this movie from 1997, it was in great shape and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it again. I will be ordering more from this exceptional company
I want an alternative to Amazon and. Alibris has competitive prices and is very reliable. My book arrived in a timely manner in excellent condition.
I found what I was looking for, ordered same from two separate suppliers. Order was in before I expected it--same day from both suppliers!
Phone version of website feels clunky. It took 3 attempts to enter login. Screen kept sliding off screen.
It's always easy for me to find books by title or author. I like that full book descriptions are presented and a large variety of used book options are usually available.
I purchase from Alibris a lot. I can usually find what I'm looking for and the prices are good for book that are used yet in very good shape.
I also feel good that I am recycling books.
Great! The website is easy to maneuver & I found exactly what I was looking for.
On time as described good condition. 6 on recommendation because I'm not likely to remember the name. It's not like Amazon or EBay. No complaints though
I've ordered from Alibris for years. I've never been disappointed. An excellent source. Count me among your most robust fans!
I've been ordering from Alibris for years, now. The offerings are extensive, the descriptions of the books
Accurate, the delivery on time. Certainly their far flung providers are carefully vetted. Now and then I'll get a little note tucked into a book I've ordered wishing me well or telling me I will enjoy the read. That always makes my day. In a highly depersonalized world, Alibirs and all the vendors they work with, make me feel like a valued, very much alive, individual. I am, and continue to be, 100% pleased with having discovered Alibris.
The shopping experience was pretty fantastic and I hope the shipping time is even better!
Books are easy to find, the shipping costs are easily understandable, and the shipping times have gotten better over the years I've used Alibris. I like the thought that I'm recycling books when I use Alibris. Thanks for being available! I've told many people about Alibris.
The book I put in (which I found on Bookfinder) when I got to your sight, said "This book is not available." But it kind of went back and forth (I did not lrder it the first day I did this; but it happened more than once. I called the bookstore it said it was at, and they said that they had it so I went back to your site and ordered it. Then Alibris made it clear to me that somone had put in their cart (probably me) so that it was not available to purchase for about 24 hours. So it was not their fault.
I gave 5 star for delivery time base on past experience with Alibris, for I wrote this rigiht after I ordered it.
Although product descriptions and shipping speeds differ slightly from vendor to vendor, my overall level of satisfaction with a number of purchases from a variety of vendors has been very high. I have often received books that have been described as "very good" actually in new condition, likely "overstock" from publishers' printings. That is certainly not the case for most orders but is appreciated at any rate. It is very rare for me to receive a book that does not meet the standards as stated in the on line description. Alibris is my "Go-to" place for used books.
The book was purchased as a birthday present and, based on the merchant's description, I thought that there was plenty of time. In fact, it arrived several days after the birthday. Not a big deal, but still a disappointment.
I love finding old books that I can't find anywhere else. My Presidential Reading Project would be stalled out without Alibris.
Ordered old boy deluxe, arrived before the estimated time they packed it carefully considering it was a hardcover, honestly ive ordered before and will order in the future, and would recommand!
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.
