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.

Found what I needed in the condition and price I was looking for
I have been ordering books from alibris for years and appreciate the variety, great prices and quick shopping. So far the delivery and books have been more than satisfactory. I am always recommending my friends to come to your site.
The book I purchased in this bookstore is an old edition no longer available at any local bookstore.
Simple process to order.the manner that I ordered was simple. The cd that I selected is rare.
Have been adding to my book collections through alibris since the 1990's. Yeah!
Smooth I had no problem working through each page and there was really no delay in processing each request. Other sites seem to take a long time through each part of the process. But most of all it was the low price that drew me to your site.

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.
