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.

My price went up from 31.49 + 3.99 shipping = 35.48 - but I was billed 38.36? Why? Even if you add NJ tax at 7%, it still does not add up.
Always a pleasure and never a problem ordering through Alibris.
I always check Alibris before every book purchase. Excellent selection and service, and I'm sure I've saved hundreds of dollars over the years.
My shopping experience was great. I didn't like the increase in shipping cost.
A wide variety of books to browse through and books are easy to find. Much easier than going to a bookstore. I highly recommend Alibris.
A great way to buy books and a great variety of books to choose from
I like Alibris because shopping is easy, finding books and suggestions by Alibris make it that much easier too. I have ordered books that I didn't even know existed and some that have enhanced my hobbies, you get a great choice,
I like the range of books and their prices that I can choose from. There are not too many books that I cannot find on this site. It's any easy way to shop and I can find prices from very cheap to rare books that are more expensive. I highly recommend this site.
Easy to find what I needed. I do wish the prices were a little better.
The shipping address and billing addresses resists change. Had to go back as it did not retain the commanded option.
Checkout is awful, to navigate - backwards
I like that I could order the book as a guest; it was fast and efficient!
Should have taken coupon for $5. That required email address, but you required it anyway. That was sneaky
First experience with your company with hope of doing more business in the future…. Thank you for asking!
The alibris web sometimes is a Little slow, but overall I am happy with the books I could find here.
Maybe I didn't see it but a description of what's in the book would help me.
Great website as far as comparing prices and locations of books.
Easy shopping even when item was at first not available
Fast and easy, found just what I was looking for
Fast to find book I was looking for and easy check out
Very user friendly and super convenient when changing an order/ when a book is out of stock.
Items are easy to find. Great selection and easy checkout
Thank you. First time using this site. Fair to navigate.
Like that any book can be found in my experience. Great price too!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
