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.

Signed up but got no $ code or coupon. Shipping is horrible, ordered 5 from one seller, tiny discount
It was easy to find books, though I wish there was a way to share links to a particular item listing.
As always, Alibris is the best book selling place.
Very affordable books, website is user friendly
Shipping is way too expensive and I didn't find that out until the end.
Secure and accurate with respect to personal information as well as orders.
I have shopped with Alibris for many years. Great source for finding books at a good price.
Glad to find this movie at a reasonable price.
Finding various titles is easy and the reviews are helpful too!
I miss visiting used book stores. For some reason they all disappeared around where I live. Thank you for bringing this home to me.
Checkout was easy. I prefer checking out as a guest, so it was nice to have this option on the website.
It's been easy to find the books i was looking for and at a great price!
This is my go-to book site I have pretty much found everything I was looking for and more!
Very Streamlined, inventory of books is incredible compared to other sites. I have struggled to find my textbooks for this semester and there are a few books I refuse to purchase a digital copy of as I prefer to add them to my physical collection that I keep in my office.
Fairly easy to find books by subject when I don't know the author or title. A
Good access to books
I ordered all my books from one bookseller, so I was surprised to see that my shipping charges didn't become more modest. The total cost of books was less than $8, and they are small books. The shipping is at least $25. On the other hand, I guess the booksellers need to make money somehow, and they do that by charging a lot for shipping.
Nice place to shop. No parking problems. Finding a used bookmark is always a possibility.
The best prices, and available selection. I love the free shipping on Alibris titles. It's unfortunate their theirs party sellers charge a shipping fee per item instead of combining shipping on multiple orders. It makes buying used much less attractive.
Easy ordering, waiting to see condition of item ordered & if complete.
I always enjoy shopping at Alibris. Great selections and I can usually find the books I'm looking for at a great price
I am frustrated that I place an order, get a confirmation of shipment and then notice of cancellation two days later.
First order was cancelled so had to reorder from a different seller.
I always like shopping at Alibris. The book selection is great and the prices are wonderful
Easy to look books up and find a variety of options available.
I love alibris! One of my go-to sources for used books
Fine. Wish there were more sellers, perhaps offering lower prices.
First time I used this site. Just joined a book club. Am very happy to find this site! The hood books at very good prices!
Went from addall.com to alibris site quickly and easily ordered a book from my existing account.
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.
