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.

Always have found the best used book deals here for many years now!
I love supporting this organization, plus it is so easy and pleasant
I got my book at a great price, shipping was fast. No problems!
I tried to cancel my order about 1 hour after I submitted it, plenty of time to cancel an order. I sent two emails to the seller but got no response. No one responded and I received the book that I mistakenly ordered. There were no options given to return it.
I have always been happy with my purchasing experience with Alibris
Alibris had the book I was looking for It arrived quickly, was in great condition.
I am very happy with my purchase experience and will purchase any books I need in the future from Alibris.
I love it that can purchase fairly new books at the fraction of its original price.
The book I ordered was advertised in New condition. The book I received was in Fair to Poor condition.
I was interested in rereading this book as it has been many years since I first read it in grade school. I was somewhat precocious at that age. As it is a large book, I thought I would just check it out of the nearby university library. When I looked for it online, I saw that they had removed it, which was disappointing as there has not been an equivalent text or even an updated text appear that I am aware of. If there is a new and improved version by another author, I would like to know.
So I went to Alibris to see what was available, and I found a really nice copy for a mostly reasonable price, considering it is long out of print for reasons unknown. Its condition was even better than what was described, so I'm happy that now I can reread the book at my own pace without having to constantly renew it from a library. It took me a few months to get through it, and I look forward to reading it again.
I'm happy to obtain such good reading material at a good price. I'd rather navigate the purchase without having to screen through your promotional offers first. But happy otherwise.
Always a top notch experience, terrific service every time
Many options available. Easy to search and navigate. Descriptions are clear. Book conditions are clearly detailed.
Love Alibris for new and gently used books music especially hard to find rare books Alibris is the place to try
My cookbook arrived in the condition described (perfect) and in a timely fashion. Great transaction!
Very easy to navigate site and pay for purchase! Always able to find my titles.
Good selection at reasonable prices. I always check with Alibris.com for the books I need in my research.
Very easy I was confident that Melania book was there. I admire her and very much want to read her words!
I've been ordering books from alibris since working as a book seller myself many years ago, and the availability of human interaction has always set them head and shoulders above their Amazonian competitors.
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.
