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.

Item as described, on time with good value.
These are all the words that come to mind right now - thank you -
Ease of use and availability of product. I really love how quickly I was able to find and purchase what I was looking for.
We ordered the same book from 2 sellers at the same price in the same order. 1 came quickly and was exactly as expected. It matched the image. The other came about 5 days later and was the older printing. It didn't look like the image. Both books had the same name, but the image was of the 2004 publishing and one book was 2004 and one was 1996.
I quickly found the book I was looking for and it was easy to order.
Excellent. I needed a book for a book club on short notice and was unable to find any used book store. I was able to get it properly through alibris at a reasonable price.
Love shopping here its quick easy and has lots of options for me.
Excellent search engine and ease of placing an order. Wide selection of products.
I love this site. I am glad to have an alternative to the mega monopolistic Amazon!
The shopping interface is easy to navigate and user friendly. I gave Alibirs 4 stars only due to the shipping cost. The shipping cost can often be as much as the book, unless I can find the books I want under the same seller. Overall I enjoy Alibris and will shop again.
Excellent! My husband's treasured old book became "chewing material" for our young dog!
He was so sad that he'd lost his book. I thought about checking on Alibris right away - thinking that he'd be happy again before long. I was right! Thank you!
I rely on Alibris for books hard-to-find books at accessible prices. I've never had a bad experience with Alibris (other than issues outside their control of course - I'm looking at you, DeJoy).
Good product at a reasonable price And a reasonable delivery. I don't do experience reviews, so please accept what I have just given you and ignore this last sentence
I use Alibris frequently when ordering books. It is an easy sight to use and I am always satisfied with the books I receive.
Remembered me and was easy to use. The entire process took only a few minutes. Would buy again just for the easy checkout!
I ordered "Your mother is a remarkable woman," by Sam Gross, one of the New Yorker's best cartoonists. The book came in beautiful condition and arrived before I even expected it.
Smooth and easy. Except this annoying review process. That's all.
I have used addall.com for years and find that it offers me a very wide selection of books to choose from and at the best prices and quality of anyplace I have found. Addall brought me to Alibris for this book.
Quick and simple. I appreciate this very much. And, I am supposed to enter at least fifty characters, so I am just adding this jibber-jabber to make it to fifty
Easy to use, great comparisons of prices and conditions, and great customer support when needed.
It was very easy to find the books I wanted and compare the prices from the different sellers. It takes some work to coordinate buying different books from the same seller to avoid additional shipping charges, but well worth it.
I can count on Alibris to have the goods at a reasonable price.
Alibris comes through again,the items I want at a good price.
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.
