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.

Alibris is useless when there customer issues and concerns.
Excellent purchasing experience. Directions were clear and easy follow.
The prices of the books//manga//etc are amazing. Even with the sellers that don't have free shipping have good book prices that, even when combined, can still add up to less than a regular bookstore and even some Amazon book prices. The books I ordered have come in excellent condition and in a timely manner :)
When I heard of the cookbook, I knew I wanted it, but didn't want to pay the full price. Alibis is trustworthy, especially in rating quality of used titles. Found several and picked one that was delivered as good as new.
Good quick purchase and ordering process. Best price I found for this item.
No negative experiences of any kind with this purchase or anything else.
Thank you for the quick delivery and I received several emails regarding my order and satisfaction!
Alibris has been a go-to used book source for many moons. Thanks!
Needed additional pew hymnals at a good price. These books were in very good condition at a much lower price point than the new ones. We purchased 9 gently used copies for the price of 4 new copies.
The book I received was in excellent condition as it was described and the shipping time was reasonable given that the mails are packed at Christmas time.
Good stuff good stuff good stuff good stuff good stuff good stuff good stuff good stuff
Alibris was the only bookstore that had an out of print story by Sandra Cisneros. Delivery was prompt, book was in excellent condition, and price was reasonable.
Wonderful as always, book came in quickly, in the condition stated. Thank you!
Was quick and east to order so I hope it comes in the mail just as quickly :)
Pleased to locate this book especially since Barnes & Noble said it does not exist.
Extremely pleased with all books received in the past and look forward to ordering more in the future.
Easy to order, easy to sign in, easy to pay. Will buy from again.
Because I am not buying from Amazon! I am not supporting a billionaire that cares nothing about our country.
Service was fine, and book a hood value.
Unsubscribing has been difficult.
Three tries and still getting email messages,
I ordered a set of I Survived books for my son. They were priced under $30 when on Amazon the same set new was close to $100. We got them in a reasonable amount of time and they appeared to be bread new! Not even a crack in the paperback spines! So $20 compared to nearly $100 for books in brand new condition!
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.
