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.

It would be great if we could preview the books and the shipping cost is high.

Love Alibris for shopping! I always can find the books I want.
I really enjoy shopping on Alibris site. I always find new authors that interest me.
Generally when ordering previously I have received excellent service and good products. This time I ordered The Unbearable Lightness of Being and received two copies of disc 2. Disappointing. I wish someone had checked the order before sending it. All the other dvds ordered in great condition
Always wonderful service and dvd's in excellent condition, so many to choose from, and best of all, it's not Amazon! Thank you!
Your system is easy to use, and you respond while I am placing my order.
I needed my book by a certain date and you delivered to me before that date and at an excellent price so thank you!
I love this site. It is very easy to navigate and has a variety of items you can't locate elsewhere.

Alibris is the best, easy to use and just about any book I can discover I can find.
It was quick and easy, including creating an account when I'd only been a Guest before.
Took a long time to consider options for the best price. But I love Alibris in general.
I was a bit nervous because the price I paid for an used item cuz I didn't know the book condition but everything went well, the shipping was delayed but it was okay since it was international delivery, I got patience. Thank you people from Alibris
This is where I go for used books of all kinds. From fiction to textbooks to crafting books they have it all
Books were packaged appropriately and got them in a timely manner.
I think I got pretty good deal for the book and I was able to get it in very good condition which is great. Definitely didn't pay anywhere near full price which is what I wanted so I'm satisfied.
The item I was looking for was easy to find and actually available! Ordering it was pretty easy, too.
Book arrived promptly and packaged with care. Condition of book is as good or better than described. Thank you!
Thank you for for making it easy to find what I am looking for.
Found the book I've wanted for years~ and appreciate the $20 coupon!

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.
