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 love alibris. Good deal with good price. The book wrap really carefully.
Excellant book however the binding was damaged - not sure if it was shipment or packaged that way. Overall I am satisfied
Several options available for the book I was looking for. Super fast shipping and great price
Very good service and very recommended to buy in this alibris
I have just enjoyed finding an organized and fairly intuitive website. The search for my book was easy and choices were plentiful. Happy to be back on Alibris after years away.
I've been here before, came back, and will likely do it again.
Okay, but a bit awkward in the check out process. Corrected.
Good experience with app some vendors take a long time to ship. Read descriptions carefully.
Packages came in good condition as was the videos, and pretty quick delivery.
Orders are shipped quickly and are always in great condition upon arrival.
Easy and straightforward. Great prices. I'll definitely be shopping here again.
Simple, easy and quick. First time user. Great prices. I will know more after I receive my order.
The best online bookstore to find the book you are searching for, even out of print books.
This is a new, and a very important book on the topic of Jesus.
Found what I was looking for at a great price and all from the same seller so I only paid one shipping charge.
Whenever I need to replace a non-fiction title in my library, this is the most affordable way to do it. Also comes in handy when I'm missing a book in a series.
My kids are ripping through series and I need to buy the next ones used because I can't afford to keep up with their pace and the library doesn't have them in stock. Alibris saves the day! They made it easy to find and choose books, and they were in our mailbox quickly. (I do wish there were a way to see if I could get multiple books from the same location to save on shipping, but I know that might be asking too much.)
I really enjoy using Alibris. It is always easy to find books
Very easy to find what I want, and for a good price! 10/10 would recommend, and will definitely be using it again in the future! I am hoping it will help me save a bundle on college textbooks.
The book I was a looking for was rare, and also considered a banned book, which made it difficult to find. Alibris had exactly what I wanted, and for a price that couldn't be beaten any where else. The check out process is so quick and easy I had my book within a minute.
I find this site to be fair, easy to locate and to place an order. I use it for used books.
My order was shipped within one hour! Great book and excellent customer service!
The responses to inquiries are prompt and helpful. Hassle free refunding for undelivered or defective orders
Very good price and easy to order the ordering process was very fast and efficient
A terrific price for a wonderful new book. Thank you very much!
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.
