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.

Website easy to use and details about condition of book appreciated
Great Service and books in the condition I was expecting. Was very pleased.
Good condition of book, good price, but took a while to receive it.
Count on Alibris! A great bookstore, always a good experience!
Not thrilled about the $4.99 shipping per item, but the prices are good.
You had the book I couldn't find locally. It was easy to sign up and sign in.
Looking for a hard to find book? Check Alibris. You will almost definitely find it here.
The book arrived more quickly than expected and was in excellent condition. My granddaughter loved it.
The website is very easy to navigate and search for specific items.
Quick and easy purchase with a super price for this hardcover!
I have ordered many times and have been happy with the condition of the books as well as the price and quick shipping.
Easy to do, reasonable shipping. I do need it soon for a present Friday so I hope the soon end of 3-9 days is reliable.
Nice place to shop for books, always a excellent selection.
Easy to find what i am looking for and I appreciate being able to choose which bookseller I want which for me is not only about price but about service and delivery time
User friendly website, good prices, and prompt shipping
I had attempted to order these from Powell's Books, my local bookstore, but the cost would have been three times the cost for the books and shipping (sadly cost does impact my purchases) and the shipping times were long without an option to pick up the books. Alibris had the books, good pricing and I will be able to read the books before Christmas.
It is wonderful to find this book and I look forward to reading it...thank you.
This was a book for which I had been looking for a while having had orders canceled before, so when it did not arrive, I was not thrilled. I was told to hang in there, which was right but not particularly helpful. It came; all's well...
Coupon code sent this morning was said to have expired.
It was easy to place the order. There was no push to order things I did not want. I apprecuate that courtesy.
Searching for a book that's been out of print, was happy to find it at Alibris. Easy to order, timely delivery.
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.
