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.

I was just browsing and I found a great book about greenhouses.

Thank you. Your web site is easy to use and you have a nice selection of books to choose from on the subject of my interest - America's great president Thomas Jefferson
I've been meaning to buy this video fo some time and found your web site super easy to use. Thanks so much!
Good search engine but would prefer an option to filter used by degree of use.
I hate these "rate your experience" things! You have always had great service! Why are you paying for this bull$#*! survey?
Couldn't have been simpler! Congratulations and Thank You!
Book was recommended by Zerohedge site, Found your price fair and service fast. Thank you
Shopping experience is always excellent but I have gotten a couple of books with badly broken backs lately, books that had been rated good. The sellers are alright about refunds but it is a nuisance.
I have yet to receive my first of several orders I'll let you know the future experience.
Easy to find books at bargain prices and quick to check out.
Found the book in the condition I was searching for easily. You folks always deliver!
I might have liked a bit more information about the book condition on dust jacket.
It's a better alternative to the HUGE place.
It was easy to find my book and the web site worked well.
So far so good...looking forward to receiving my book :)
So far it has been very easy, and straight forward!
You website when checking out is a little confusing the first time you use Optimized Saving.
When you're looking at a particular item in the catalog, it takes a while to click through all the different pages listing the editions and their condition.
The website was very easy to use. I appreciate the small discount.
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.
