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've been getting all my books at a cheap price. They arrive at my place with no issue.
GREAT Prices! My friend had recommended a book, however it was very expensive, as far as books are concerned. So, I was researching where I would buy it. Then she mentioned Alibris & sent me the link. WOW, I am very impressed! Thanks Alibris
Great service. Got a rare book, very well cared for, at a reasonable price, and shipped transatlantic promptly. Ten out of ten.
Alibris is wonderful to browse and to buy from. One of my absolute favorite sites to search for, and find, jewels of literary fiction. Thank you!
I adore Alibris! Delightful site, fun to jump around and check out books that are new to me.
I like that all of the orders and shipping are all in one place and all in one single checkout. That makes it so much easier.
I grew up in Cudahy, Wisconsin, with my brother and my Mom and Dad. I lived part of Cudahy's history and learned parts I did not know about. The book is very well done; an emotional, enjoyable, and adventurous read.
Have ordered for several yrs if you order and can say for most satisfied. I really think it is unfair if you order 2 or 3 books from same company they mail separately
And defeats the savings.
Very Easy to find product, decided on ebook. Price was very good
The whoe experience was quick, easy, and user friendly. All steps were intuitive and easy for me (a tech-ignorant oldster) to navigate.
How was I supposed to get credit for my $5 off coupon?
Otherwise everything was great.
Used book in good shape at a fair price with timely delivery - I'm happy.
Always a great source of out of print books with a great selection.
The condition of book far outweighed my expectations. The book is perfect and was received within the timeframe given. The price cannot be beat, Thank you Alibris for this wonderful service.
A poor book not schematics for the electric wiring and the functions process.
It was a mistake getting this book but is not enough information in the website, like the number of pages.
Thank you for having this book I wanted at such a great price.

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.
