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.

My search at your site didn't work because I wanted a used copy. I Google searched it and got here that way.
Very smooth and easy interface. Easy purchase experience.
I am too busy to write a review, havent read book yet
Survey is an imposition, demand for a publishable review is bait and switch
Alibris interface is user friendly, I can find many items I want at discount prices, products from diverse vendors are generally as advertised and arrive reasonably promptly.
I knew what I was looking for and the Alibris website made it easy to find and easy to complete the transaction for it.
I knew what book I was looking for and the bookseller, as I had already looked for the book once before on the Alibris website. The site made it very easy for me to find it the second time, as i t had been the first.
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.
