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.

You had what I was looking for and the purchase was quick and easy! Excellent prices.
Collapse of Burning Buildings: A Guide to Fireground Safety--why can't I get a used copy for less than $10. Should not have to pay ~$58. Also the book I just ordered said they start at $1.82--cannot find one less than $9.88
Easy to find the latest edition and desired condition of the book.
Love the fact that I can replace lost music here. Not thrilled about shipping charges, should be bulk rate if ordering more than 1 from company
Finding the music to replace what I lost!
Sometimes hard to ALL items at same place!
Actually, I love this site. Wish there were "group shipping" when I order all from same place.
Only problem I have is the shipping costs, I don't have time to sit & scroll to find all items at the same store.
Sometimes I wish the books were categorized by 'store' so I can order from 1 store & cut down on shipping. I don't always have time to compare
Love this site! Finding 80% of books I've been looking for... for years! Shipping charge on some is high, shipping a little slow, but... cant have it all!
I prefer getting my books rather than any other book source.
Easy to find what I want from your large source inventory
Easy and reliable for the descriptions and quality.
It was easy to put this in a cart and pick a price that worked
Always good. I wish the shipping costs could be lowered.
Honestly love purchasing secondhand books so much and an easy to use website.
Great prices, easy to use! Will definitely use again!
I just placed an order and app seems easy to understand
The price of the items was great, however, not happy with the cost of the shipping
Quick, efficient service. A pleasure to shop here.
I appreciate alibris offering a review prior to check-out which gives buyers options for saving $ by choosing the same books from different sellers to reduce shipping costs. Wonderful bonus from this used-and-new books seller!
Searching for a specific author or book is easily completed.
I like the multiple options and sellers all in one place. It would help if the shipping prices were a little better when buying multiple books from the same seller, especially when they're paperbacks or thin books.
Very easy to find what I'm looking for, at a great price!
Can find what I want easily. Shipping is quick and the books are in great condition.
It was easy to find the books I needed and to process my order.
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.
