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.

So far, so good! Had a big problem with delivery to a street address delivered instead to PO Box which did not accept packages. Took a lot of work with customer service but eventually resolved.
Found what I wanted at a great price hope it is in good condition
I have found a great range of movies that are almost always in great condition when I receive them. Only once did I have an issue and the cd was replaced immediately! Can't ask for better service when buying used products. Thank you Alibris!

Alibris ordering process is efficient and easy to navigate. Thank you for making quality used books available!
Nice to find used books at a reasonable price. Shipping can get expensive if buying from several places.
I've ordered from Alibris a few times and the entire process, from browsing the site, to purchase, and then delivery of as-expected items was excellent.
Easy to order, & quickly received; easy to order, & quickly received
Selection is fantastic but shipping is a little expensive For media shipping.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
