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.

It was going fine until I tried to check out. I was asked to sign in, but didn't have the correct password. After I reset it, when I returned to sign in, my cart was empty!... 7 items that had taken some time to find. Very disappointing.
Finding my books was easy... nicely categorized for 0-2 year olds, then board books.
I needed to update my zipcode. Took a while to find how to do that.
Love Alibris!
An absolute must for my 3 book club needs!
Love Alibris... especially since I joined a couple of book clubs. ;)
I love sbopping for books at Alibris.
Love Alibris!
I have to find books for my Classics Book Club and when I stumbled on this web site I was thrilled. They have EVERYTHING... and provide a bunch of options about what to pay...
I have never, ever been disappointed in the on-line shopping I've done through Alibris...
I love Alibris! I've joined 2 book clubs (a Classics Literature group and a very broad Mystery Group). My go to place to get the books I need to read is Alibris. They are able to connect me to several independent book sellers, for books new and old. And I have never been disappointed with the quality of the books I buy...
I love Alibris... I have shared this site with the folks in my Mystery Book Club... No matter what I look for, I can find it via Alibris.
Good prices quick shipping. Now to see the condition of the books.
Good price. Hope the book is in good condition. Site was easy to use and connection to paypal was perfect.
Excellent but placing items into wish cart after on the check out cart is confusing. Just deleted them instead. The other confusion is as you place items into cart, it is notated how much more you need until free shipping is applied. It never seems that you reach that limit.
The other issue is when I tried to utilize my $5 coupon for signing up, it the page was not accessible.
You are still my favorite store!
I've had the same Bible for almost 50 years I was so happy to find it again and purchase for a friend!
I could not order 2 of the same book. It said "book is already in your cart.' When I said that I wanted to change my order, (1 to 2) it deleted the item. I really hate to start over to buy 4 more books today. Checkout had no way to "continue shopping." I shop with you to avoid Amazon, but their site would be easier to use.
I've been shopping Alibris for 20+ years. Always pleased with service.
I found just what I wanted. But I will feedback when I get it too.
The search feature narrowed it down quickly- i found the books easily this time.
It would be nice to easily check and see if multiple books are available from the same seller to avoid multiple shipping charges. Maybe there is a way but it is not clear to me.
Great deals that support a range of organizations and businesses.
Just the book I need to make small gifts for Christmas.
Easy and good prices. Just wish I had a image of one of the items I purchased to be 100% sure it's the right one
First time I hope all books arive and are in good condition then I can rate a true rating.
Your company always has the books or movies I am looking for.
You always have what I am looking for when it comes to books or movies.
I love Alibris! It is my go-to book source. The shipping experience was great today, I found lots of choices for the books I was searching for, and i thought the prices were reasonable. I would be happier with more detailed descriptions of the condition of the books by the sellers. A lot of generic, rather vague phrases are used to describe the condition (sellers are probably too busy to write details), but these phrases are too vague and usually do not convey as much info on the condition as I would like.
Reasonable price… I hope the book is in decent shape
Shopping is very easy-to-use
One caveat lag time in accessing my car, beyond that I've recommended you to three friends so keep up the good work
A fiend recommended your team and I'm glad to try this
Seamless and easy to order a great book for a great price.
Shipping a bit high, but I always have trouble paying thru Amazon. Happy this page popped up. Hope it all goes well. This was lost, also my 3rd CD of same.
A birthday present to me!
The website is easy to navigate and submit orders.
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.
