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.

Alibris had two books that I wanted that were not common at the best prices I found. I have ordered from them before and expect to again.
Alibris has been a great place to order used books every time I've placed an order.
The entire process of finding the book I wanted, placing the order, pay for the book and receiving it were all excellent. This was my first time buying a book through Alibris and it will not be my list time I do so. I fully recommend Alibris.
Heard about this book about the various attempts to find El Dorado on a podcast went looking for the book online Barnes & Noble Amazon 30 to 40 bucks found it through alibris for $14 including shipping Tadow!
Perfect service. You had the book I wanted at a great price, delivered it in a timely manner, and the boot was in great shape!
Most of the books ordered were my husband's choices, and he was quite pleased with the books' condition and content. We always check Alibris for the books we would like to purchase.

Pretty simple to place an order. The only problem I encountered was that the system had a problem with my address but it was quickly resolved.
Stellar resource! Excellent selection and prompt shipping from the many sellers represented under the Alibris umbrella. I have never been disappointed. Thank you.
I chose Argosy Books from the Alibris menu when I ordered the book I was looking for. I was given updates as to possible arrival dates. I was very surprised and pleased when the book arrived sooner thanI expected.
And the way Argosy Books wrapped and packed my book - with such meticulous care - was just amazing!
Very easy to find and order an obscure book that I needed for a book club.
Always find quality books at Alibris. Highly recommended by a librarian friend and I have been very pleased with the service from the sellers.
I've used Albris in the past and again more recently. If you are sick of the billionaires governing our politics, and do not wish to support Amazon, Walmart, etc., Albris is a great resource!
I always find what I want and feel good about not contributing to Jeff Bezos. :)
Overall everything worked out really well. I read the book then gifted it to a friend starting a poly relationship. It might not be a "how to" but I think I got more from it to understand this situation than I ever have from a text book/academic read.
I had a coupon code and no place to type it in was provided. That is unsatisfactory, especially considering overall textbooks prices
This book is no longer available in Belgium, I was surprised to see that a book in french was available at Alibris. I wonder how this book came to you
Selections of the books were good. I thought a hardback book was rather expensive, but I purchased it anyway as I could not find one anywhere else.
Love this I find everything I'm looking for every book I've ever looked for this site can find it a truly great site no matter if it's new or old this site has it
I love buying from ALibis. Most importantly buying secondhand books and other items saves you money, reduces, consumerism, and economical for our planet. My purchase is always arrive in good condition as far as packaging and handling. The description the seller gives is accurate. And the books come in a timely manner.
Easy to order what I'm looking for. I like also being able to search the same seller for other titles I may want, to save shipping
Easy to find titles, select a well-rated supplier. Alibris is always my first stop when looking for books.
I was a little hesitant to order from here at first because I didn't know anything about the company but the prices were so good I decided to give it a chance. Everybody I ordered came in perfect condition and shipping was fast. Will definitely be ordering more from them!
Low price, I wish the shipping could be less. I trust that the condition is good, I trust Goodwill as being a very reputable seller.
Wonderful to find so many sites grouped for shopping ease! I found all the titles I was searching for, in stock & overall great condition!
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.
