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.

The only thing I don't like is that the shipping address defaults to most recent instead of a primary address. This has caused me a lot of problems and seems easy enough for you to solve. But I know to watch out for it now at least.
Easy to find what I wanted and great price! Thank you!
Great but was hoping see shipping time prior to purchase.
Shipping cost is a little high. The books are fine and priced right.
Great to get the book I want quickly at a good price!
Easy to find and see both item price and quality and shipping price
You had what I wanted at a reasonable price. Not easily found!
Excellent quick site and easy to use payment options. I wish I could see the shipping costs up front.
I like Alibris' search function structure - makes it easy to find what I'm looking for and pinpoint the copy I want.
1st time order, a little surprised by the shipping costs.
I really find it good, though I wish I had an option to compare if books in my cart were being sold by the same retailer for a lower price total instead of needing to go hunt and check
All very good EXCET a change of my eMail already on file to NEW eMail as reflected in this guest order. New eMail is *******@icloud.com
Quick easy to find titles with sufficient details regarding condition of books and availability.
A place I didn't expect to find some good country music
Found what I wanted and ordered it, all in a few minutes.
I won't use Amazon, and you always have the books I want.
Reasonably priced books and shipping to Canada isn't a complete cash grab like some sites.
Found the book i wanted and has paypal option
Easy to find books and shipping not ridiculous.
Fast search engine and many choices from which to choose.
I have shopped with you several times and have always been pleased.
I wanted to check my basket and couldn't see it until the end of the transaction. It would be nice to have the icon be available.
I've bought from here before and have found it to be excellent.
Efficient online system. Looking forward to receiving the book.
I love everything about Alibris except that it is now owned by Amazon. I strongly dislike that bit.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
