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 is always a pleasure to shop at Alibris. Books are supplied quickly, are what they are described as being, and are available when out of print or hard to find.
A bit frustrated at the shipping. It would be nice if the site could indicate if a bookseller had all the books I was looking for in single seller.
They had what I was looking for to start exercising safely and enjoy it.
I massively love everything about your website! So smooth, so beautifully designed! Thanks for not launching your own "store" and just linking us to small and privately-owned companies trying to compete against megacorporations like icky amazon! You really are spectacular and fabulous!
The book was advertised for $6.44 but when the order was placed it ended up being almost twice as much as the original cost.
I easily found an older movie I've wanted for a long time.
Ease of navigation of site is barely adequate at best
Starting charge was 40% of end charge. Felt conned
Very well so far; but this is only placing the order and payment...
When we get the book, the experience will be complet. Wait and see...
Doing it on my phone vs Computer was more difficult. Some of the shipping was a bit high.
Finding and buying the books I was looking for took less than 10 minutes!
Terrific. Do you happen to have a copy of: "A is for Acrobatic Alligators"?
For first time experience, very easy and efficient.
I always have a good experience ordering from Alibris—have never been disappointed.
I love Alibris. I continually shop here for my textbook, general reading, and gift-giving needs!
I use Alibris to purchase my textbooks. Always get a great deal!
So far, at the ordering stage, so good. Balboa responded promptly and their language suggests that they are experienced professionals.
Was able to order a hard-to-find book at a reasonable price and the website was easy to navigate
Quick, Easy, and Simple. Alibris is a wonderful place to buy gently used books for students and readers alike.
So happy to find the book I was looking for.
This is my first order with alibris.
I hope everything will work out.
Clear display. Easy for filling out. Swift computer response.
Ridiculously cheap, easy to find the books I needed and sort by edition. A college student must-have
I love that I can find almost any book on Alibris. If I know the title or the ISBN, I can find it here.
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.
