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.

Excellent information for all the books I have sought. Good prices.
Had the books i was looking for. Easy order and checkout
New book, just published, hope it is in stock. Freind in Australia contributed to this, so wanted to read.
I am glad to have Alibris available for book purchases.
Your system does not take special Characters, such as "é" in México. Addresses get confusing and I had to re-type my credit card number too many times.
There was a pause that made me almost stop because I wanted the book without having to go through a lot of
Steps
I thought of a new title to add when I was in the payment phase, but couldn't access shopping again. Any tips?
I was aware that my home and billing address had changed since the last time I purchased a book directly from Alibris. It took 7 times SEVEN~! To enter my name, address, billing address and credit card. Whoever you paid for your online transaction software, I wonder if it's too late to get your money back.
How could I imagine how this shopping experience resolved at this moment? I will or won't respond to this question as and if I get what hoped for - most especially focusing on whether or it was what I asked for. In other words: We Shall See..
Difficult to go back & forth from shipping page to still shopping.
Today at least I found what I wanted at reasonable rates
I like how the books are presented by price and that more information is presented quickly
Alibris has been my go-to source for used books forever and will remain so until they disappoint me.
I have enormous faith in Alibris to deliver what they promise.
Alibris is my "go-to" book shopping online service.
LOVE THIS SERVICE. PERFECT WAY TO BUILD MY LIBRARY AT DRASTICALLY REDUCED PRICES. GREAT SELECTION, TOO.
I've used alibris for years and have always been delighted by the selection, the prices, and the service.
I've been counting on alibris for high-quality copies of essential books and CDs for many years and have always been satisfied.
Fun to find the looseleaf version as my first husband brought home so-called "Books" as a journeyman printer. Haven't thought about them (or him) for 50 years!
On line, clear descriptions, wide choices... love your site.
The shopping experience was fine, but not being able to return a book that is not even a book is horrible, and makes me want to not use your service.
It's ok but I was expecting it to be what was on the first page saying $3.49.
The website is clean, but not sparse. Easy to navigate and find what I am looking for. It was quick and easy to place the order. Price was very competitive. More to follow once the product arrives...
Image of book and title I clicked on first search results page did not match the title of the item in the cart. I hope I got what I searched and clicked on? Image was right in the cart, but not the title...
Shipping is pricey, and I rarely find items that qualify for free shipping.
You had everything I was looking for!
I love this site.
I can find everything.
Fast shipping, good products.
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.
