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 have been ordering from Alibris for years! It has always been my go to place for finding old and new books and the prices are great!
We received the mini-readers and are very pleased with the fit, look and quality of the readers
Well it was very easy and I'm not used to that with these phones but it had a better price than Amazon and even though it's used but still it still have to price
Book was better than I expected, I don't think it was every opened
Always easy to.order, and almost always have the books I want.
Great site item arrived in great condition. The site met my
Expectations
I ordered a rare kriya yoga book from Alibris. It took a couple of weeks to receive it, and despite the low quality of the book itself (from the publisher) it was packed nicely and got to me safely with no further damage to the old book.
I think the listing described the book as being in Very Good condition. Often times the condition of a used book is a bit of a crap shoot but in this case, It arrived still wrapped in plastic, so essentially new! Also a very good deal!
Always a good place when I'm looking for a good book at a great price
The books were well-priced, in great shape, and arrived quickly. 10/10 experience, per usual.
Great selection of books and low prices on used books in stock!
Fantastic easy to find what I want! Last election of books I seen.
Positive experience overall. The price and condition along with prompt arrival were great.
I got the book via digital as ordered. Nothing was out of place and the code worked just as intended.
Perfect on all levels including price, availability and quality

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.
