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.

We monitor reviews for authenticity
It was very frustrating. I had to update some things as I went through. Every time I updated something (shipping address) I lost most of what I had done to that point. I also don't appreciate being forced to "Agree" (see check box at bottom of this page) to furnish free advertising.
The only advantage to Amazon is its reviews. Amazon is a corporation to boycott because it promotes policy control by special interests and actively suppresses mutual interests.
I tried to cancel my order within 15 minutes because I found the book cheaper-wasn't happenin. Disappointing first-time experience!
Easy to use, quick search, - easy to find hard-to-find items!
I am quite satisfied with the comic book and service. The survey was problematic because it did not indicate the title or titles they were asking about so I had to do an email search for my order.
Low price and the website worked. The book came up on Google shopping.
Great prices, they are the cheapest I've found. The books have been in very good shape and arrived in a timely manner.
Found exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price. Thank You.
Very nice copy with dust wrapper of the original two in one volume edition, complete with fact sheet claiming this publication (1930) as the pinnacle of Book of the Month editions. Beard's later transition from classic to vernacular was completed in his "President Roosevelt and the Coming of the War 1941" (1948).
Thank you for ease of use and quick turnaround time with all my orders!
Thank you! It was quite easy an experience from finding some of my favorite titles to ordering.
It is exactly as it was described for a very good price and delivered quickly.
It's a great place to shop for all your books. I often find that some of my rare books are very unique and hard to find locally.
Great service, quick shipping and good pricing. Will order again~
I like the search abilities on the site. I will continue to shop the site as long as the books arrive as stated.
Good price, good selection, easy to use web site huge selection of used on line books
I can almost always find whatever book I'm interested in for a very fair price. This is an amazing service, thank you!
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.
