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.

Fortunate to be able to find books I want.
Very happy with the experience I had buying this book for my son.
It was a great purchase experience. I did accidentally buy the wrong book, but the buying experience was good.
My book arrived fairly quickly in very good condition, felt new! Would recommend.
It was quick and easy to find the text I needed by the ISBN, and I saved over $40 from the price the university was going to charge me!
Fast, easy, option to order as a guest. Loved it! Made me more inclined to complete the survey
Fast and easy. Took me 60 seconds to order this book including finding it.
Shipping charges are too high for the items purchased. Why can't items be combined to save shipping charges.
The best prices online bar none! I compared 5 different online book sites and found that Alibris was the best.
It was fine!@#$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*()_+++_)(*&^%$#@!
Very user friendly site that went straight to the book I've found it near impossible to locate.
The whole experience from ordering to delivery was excellent t!
I love Alibris for all my rare book finding needs. If it's out there, a Alibris has it.
I'm very pleased with the books I received; they exceeded my expectations. The quality and selection are exactly what I was looking for. I plan to place another order soon to expand my collection. Thank you for such a great experience; I look forward to shopping with you again.
It's a fine book but it was not made clear to me in the Alibris listing that it was in German. I needed it to be in English, so in essence this book is useless to me.
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.
