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.

A brief message flashed by about an "order optimizer" but having passed it by, it wasn't obvious how to get back to it/find out what it was.
Good experience although I didn't see a claimed "quality" of the particular copy of the book that I was buying; perhaps I missed it?
Very user friendly but wishing you had an option for gift sending as in a "note" attached for the recipient.
Fast, excellent variety of books & great service with excellent opportunities.
A delightful random discovery & as I love books, I was thrilled to locate even vintage Penguin in your collection.
The books conditions are great, if it says "good" you can trust the book is great.
The price range is very impressive for an average reader of caliber. Thanks.
I could find almost all books that I was looking for at a very reasonable prices with free shipping. Thank you Alibris.
I Alibris! I find movies I cannot find anywhere else.
Aside from a formatting issue with how the search results appeared on my phone, the transaction was quick and easy.
Very difficult to correct billing error. System refuse to accept my efforts finally had to quit the application and send frustration email
The extensive collection means I can find all the books in one place, and for a good price to boot!
Continues to be my number one choice for new books.
Site easy to navigate. Reasonable threshold for free shipping. Great prices.
I like the prices but I couldn't find where to put my black friday discount code.
I was unable to find a place to enter a coupon code when ordering
So quick and easy to order. I hope the shipping is the same.
Have the kindle edition but now want the print edition.
Alibris' site is pleasantly fast and well-designed for ease-of-use. Showing books by the same author is useful.
Confused about the shipping quote. I guess it was added up together but on one book it said like 3.59 to ship but on check order page it said dollars and something. I got out of check out and checked and it said it was only 3 dollars and something so it was a bit confusing.
Love shopping for awesome books at Alibris. Finding rare and hard to find books.
Easy to search and purchase. When discounts apply is confusing.
Love finding used books from all over the world. Great easy shopping
Wonderful to be able to buy from multiple book shops at one site! I like to sometimes choose the more remote location, figuring that they might need tjr business more. Great site!
Fabulous to find multiple independent bookstore choices in one place.
So happy to find the book for my mom's Christmas present. She'll love it.
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.
