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.

Very easy to search for the book I wanted and checkout is fast without any issues.

Have bought many great books at great prices. Always satisfied.
Very simple to find and order this book for my husband!
Quick and easy to find what I wanted at a good price!
Very easy to find the book title I needed and the condition of the used book.
Thank you for the great price and looking forward to the value that your company provides.
Shipping time was much longer than expected. That should have been more clear when I bought the book.
I was hoping that this had the original cover, but now I'm not so sure. If you have a copy of the original ((which I think would not say "first"on it), I would like that. (oh -- I graduated from the U of Illinois in 1970 -- was there last September - campus and town looked spectacular.
You had the book I wanted, great price, easy check out
Easy to use and navigate. Love this site. Happy shopping.
You always have what I want in great condition and price.
Site is easy to use, prices slightly better than Amazon with coupon.
Website works great- easy to find items and pricing is clear
Easy site to navigate. Pricing is clear and cart easy to use.
With coupons your pricing is much better than either Amazon or Barnes and Noble
It went smooth and I'm glad I could choose the quality and price so easily. Now I'll wait and see if the rating was correct for each book.
Also want Elizabeth Jones Black- "Painting Greeting Cards" but couldn't after I was in the transaction.
Sale price was excellent. Shipping price was over priced!
Love the prices, not crazy about the shipping fees. Haven't been disappointed in my purchases yet.
Some vendors didn't say if the dust jacket was present or not
Books are always available, and ordering is quick and easy.
Always easy to find what I'm looking for and always available with quick response and delivery.
Seller included detailed information about condition of various copies of the book which made it easy to review and compare available copies of book.
I found what I needed and at a reasonable price. The shipping cost was also fair.
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.
