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.

Good search engine and very easy to shop
Quick, easy, and according to reviews, reliable. I hopes so!
Disappointed that my order from one source was cancelled (why?), but appreciate being notified and having the opportunity to order from another bookseller.
I found the books I was looking for with ease. Process was spelled out and user-friendly.
Excellent selection. I love being able to support local bookstores.
I liked seeing all the different editions and all their price comparisons. I wish I could see the estimated shipping costs for each book while looking at my cart, because I kept starting checkout then going back and changing books to lower my shipping costs.
A good service. Wish I could find more than one book at a time at a particular vendor. Tried that once by calling a vendor and they had another book I wanted! Thanks for all...
Updated my credit card easily. Appreciate the warning notes to check things carefully before processing. Glad to be getting this rare book. Thanks!
I prefer Alibris over any other online bookseller.
Very smooth. No issues. Good shipping options. Price below everyone else
Generally acceptable service. Most books are in readable condition; I would recommend your shop to associates & friends. However, I your postage rates are excessive in many instances. If I were shipping the books I believe I could generally do it at lower cost. Thank you, Dr. PC Kutschera, PhD Albany, NY *******-1713

Finding a "very good" copy of the book was very easy, and the price was very agreeable.
I always get great service from Alibris. Fast, efficient, and dependable.

Great site. Always check first here for books I am searching to buy.
Thanks, you are very easy to shop with. I appreciate the selection and low prices.
Fine, except advertised postage rarely matches final charge. I
Final price was much higher than original price shown. Manage expectations better!
Lots of book choices, good detail about each option.

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.
