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.

Several sellers are deceptive with pricing. They have a cheap price and then gouge the buyer on shipping. It is somewhat outrageous and I had to remove items from my shopping cart and look at items from other sellers that were not outrageously marked up for shipping.
Cannot remove names from my address list. Please remove all and I will start over
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
