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.

Super easy to sign up and use. Plus, they had the book I wanted at half the cost of others.
Happy with price and that my order was still in my cart
Incorrect order. Much higher $total. Please stop all immediately
The possibility of a discount was presented over and over and over - but the instructions never worked, and no discount was ever actually applied. Also, in spite of multiple attempts, I was unable to purchase 2 copies of one book, was repeatedly told it was 'in my cart already'.
Love this site i will recommend it to all my friends o
I love you guys. I've purchased many books from you for various friends and family and so appreciate all you do for people like us!
First time shopper with your company- shall see when order arrives
I quickly found the book I was looking for. Alibris was the best price, condition, and shipping terms than any other option.
Easy process. Good pricing. Offering Paypal is wonderful
I can usually always find the books I'm looking for and at a good price. And I've almost always been happy with the condition they come in - only once throughout all the years have I had a problem and it was corrected immediately.
Books are easy to find, at good prices.
Once you get the current credit card info in shopping goes really well.
My cart from last night was empty this morning, so that was disappointing. Then one of the items didn't show up as available right away; it would be nice if you say how long it takes for the items to be "put back on the shelf," as it were.
Great new books discounted *and* coupon offers! How can you beat that?
Great experience so far. Prices are reasonable and I've had only pleasant surprises.
I thought the shipping costs were high until I realized the books were all coming from different sources and had to be shipped individually.
Best place to buy books. Been using this for years.
Found the item quickly at a good price and was given several payment options.
It's easy to find what I want. And you all ways deliver in a timely manner.
I love that alibris collaborates with small shops and the prices are unbelievably low.
Two Tries and a note to you so that the system would work correctly. No problem, I will continue to struggle and buy your books. Ed
Over the years, I have received what I have ordered. If there was a mix-up, Alibris rectified it.
Books almost always arrive as promised and Alibris tries hard to correct glitches.
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.
