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.

It was hard to figure out how to qualify for free shipping. It appeared to me that only certain books would give you free shipping.
Easy to do! - which is good for me- I am not high tech and some sites expect a higher tech background.
The whole process through payment was a breeze!
You had what I wanted, and it was fast and easy...
Easy to find another copy when the one I had picked got bought before I could
I always find what I am looking for at a reasonable price
Thank you for providing prices in Canadian dollars!
Short of using an ISBN, there needs to be a better search engine when subject
Is more important or more specific than title
Why do allow sellers to post $10 books for $747.00?
I found many old books that I have been looking for a very reasonable prices.
When it says you can save money, and it shows you the cheaper version, then it would be nice to be able to select which choice you want for each book. I gave up on Felidae by Akif Pirincci because the book titles, covers and reviews were not matching! https://www.alibris.com/Felidae-A-Novel-of-Cats-and-Murder-Akif-Pirincci/book/*******?matches=3 had review for "The Emergent Manager" and https://www.alibris.com/Felidae-Akif-Pirincci/book/*******?matches=17 has wrong book cover "Tunes you always wanted to play: violin"
Having an internal list of sellers who have the book I was looking for was REALLY helpful! I came intending to buy a fair copy, but found a very good copy for only a little more.
Alibris...always. Always. Top of the heap for quality and service!
Its good to be able to be truthful and to deal with truthful persons on the other end. Thank you
Once the site is figured out things flow smoothly
Found most of what I was looking for quickly. Ordering was fast.
Book found to be unavailable a few days after ordering
Found the textbook I needed quickly and at the most reasonable price. I will gladly give additional positive feedback when it arrives. Thank you!
Good prices. As this is my first shopping trip here, I don't feel comfortable giving a 5 out of 5.
So far, so good! Waiting to sell how quickly I get my order to say anymore. Thank you!
I think this is the first time I've been to your website, but I am pleased with the selection of books I was interested in, and the prices.
I noticed after clicking that the default delivery address was not correct. There was no way to UNDO the transaction, but I notified Alibris and the transaction was intercepted and re-addressed to the correct destination. Very Cool.
I need to cancel the transaction. I noticed after clicking that the default delivery address is not correct.
I had trouble trying to my defunct old email. I had to start over. And the one I first checked had disappeareh. The second time, the the next choice was better in condition and information, well worth the small increase in price..
Website very friendly and easy to use for a senior.
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.
