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.

I found a cheaper rate at another on-line site, but it wouldn't allow me to choose a payment plan.
There was no problem getting a book at the price I want.
Easy to find when you have the ISBN.
It was unable to pay via PayPal due to maximum limit for shipping and another tax was around 61 USD. Price of order was approximately 41 USD and total payment was 113.36 USD. I am worried about VISA card fraud or there could be stolen VISA card data and than I suppose payment by VISA card on internet as insecure without possibility to pay by PayPal.
I found what I was looking for so that made me happy.
The website appeared to keep screwing up on which items qualified for free shipping. I believe it showed me an eligible item -- I was trying to meet the minimum -- but then at checkout that item had $8 shipping attached to it. Seems to be broken but is certainly confusing.
It was easy to find the books I was looking for. Billing was easy also.
Can't wait for my book!heard good reports from people great prices!
Great customer service, good inventory and prices!
Good results in previous shopping!
Lots difficulties with the website. Almost decided to discontinue the order...
Ordering made easy and I hope the shipping is just as good.
Much better than when I tried to order this book two days ago!
Easy to find books and checkout and I specially like sorting by seller rating. BUT I have been unable to create an account. When I enter password the system seems to ignore it and doesn't try to save my information. I must have tried 6 or 7 times with 2 different passwords!
Interesting books -prices good, shipping a little high
Easy to purchase as guest. Really like how quick the process was!
It was rather frustrating finding the best way to order with free shipping/discounted shipping.
It was a little confusing about the free shipping during the "placing my order" phase: it looked as if it were not being applied at first.
Great site. Glad I found it. Better than amazon in many degrees
Best Price anywhere for this book by 15 difference, wow great job guys!
Find rare books great price very good or like new
Thank you for the $4 code PICNIC which influenced me making this rare costly book today
Easy to use this website and the pricing is great.
Quick and easy to find titles and purchase and checkout.
There is no way to choose items and then filter for the same seller and that makes the books more costly than new ones once you pay shipping to many different places.
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.
