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.

Easily found a very old book in the condition I wanted for a great price.
I love when I can find what I want for less.but I hate when S/H cost more than the item bought.please give me a discount so I can kept shopping with you all thank you
It's been easy to use this site to find a specific book.
Books are good price. I wish I could see the shipping before the checkout.
Love Alibris - super fast, intuitive shopping. Products arrive quickly, in the condition advertised.
Albris website is so easy to use and the purchasing experience is fast & easy.
Love shopping here because I always find what I am looking for.
Easy, but my brother's name showed up in the email to change my password. That was interesting.
My 'go-to' site for used books. Never been disappointed!
Appreciate the ease of this site. Hopefully, WILL RECEIVE what I have paid for. Have done this in the past and the cover was right; however, but opened it and a different CD was inside. Hoping for the best.Thank You
As long as it delivers in 3-7 days, you're my favorite!
I had to go out and come back in, and re-sign-in to continue shopping.
It'd be nice to be able to sort search by pub date (which is maybe possible, but I didn't readily see it)!
I was placing an order, but had to finish working on something else first. When i went to finish the order, the item was no longer available. Fortunately there was another copy elsewhere. Hopefully the order will complete smoothly.
I'm not sure how to rate this; apparently I already had an account here; but I only remember alibris from half.com; no matter. I "DO" like the "optimizing" cart option, because comparing items wasn't that easy.
It was a little tricky getting rid of my old address, so I could ship it to my new address.
Idk, I feel the navigation of the site could be more accessible. I remember having trouble finding the wishlist on more than one occasion. It doesn't feel like I can effectively browse, bc I can only search by title/author/isbn (which i do love) but i can't search by themes or other keywords. So it's not fun to browse. I use other sites to get good recommendations, and I only come to this site once I already know which book I want. Checkout is great tho.
I was able to find what I needed quickly and checking out was easy.
Very easy to search for the book I wanted and checkout is fast without any issues.
Very clear, easy to navigate, good options. Will order again, thanks
Good overall but item says qualify for free shipping then charged me shipping. I'm confused
Have bought many great books at great prices. Always satisfied.
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.
