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.

I was so excited about getting my books I forgot to put in the code word soda. Is it too late to do that?
It was quick and easy and a great price for the book.
It was good spent more than I intended but I guess that would be a good thing for alibris
I would have liked to find more bargains but found everything I was looking for and then some.
Could have sworn I saw something about free shipping and there was no free shipping on my books plus deletion of purchased books seems to be a bit slow. Still good though and happy with my purchases.
I love shopping on Alibris, always find what I want.

Alibris is by far the best place to buy books. I have yet to be disappointed.
Alibris has an easy to use website and great prices. A superb selection of books
I love this site! I can find every title I want as a used book, in good shape and at lower cost than a new book.
Very easy and quick to use this site.
The checkout process was a bit tedious. When I neglected to enter my security code it made me enter all my credit card information again.
Very easy to navigate your website and your prices are terrific!
Quick & easy. Find your book, pick a copy with the best condition description that fits your wants, and checkout fast and streamlined.
I have attempted to buy these books for days. I would sign in then shop. I must have been automatically signed out as when I went to checkout, it would ask me to sign in and then my cart would be emptied. Since you hold books for 12 hours, I couldn't just put the books in the cart again but had to wait 12 hours to get the best, least costly options. When I signed in, my cart should not have emptied.
Thank you,

I love the ease and convenience of being able to purchase my nursing books in one location. The prices are mind-blowing. I'm so grateful to God that I came across this website. The purchase price for the books I needed were cheaper than renting a textbook for the semester.
I cannot contact the seller -- Sperry Books -- through your site about my Order #*******. The description of the book doesn't match the title or photo of the book or anything else for it shown on the page (I didn't check the IBSN etc numbers, however). I'm hoping that the description is in error.
Would be nice to be able to save multiple shipping addresses, like on Ebay.
Shops at Alibris is ales wuick and easy.
And often I am able to buy books that are not available in libraries or anywhere
I searched for the book, "House of Hearts" and found you had quite a number of them. I did see you said the book was eligible for free shipping. I placed the book in my cart and found I did not receive free shipping. So I went back and checked each and every one of the listings you had for this book EXCEPT the digital version. Of course, that book would be free shipping since there is no shipping. It's downloaded. So, why do you say the book is eligible for free shipping when none of the sellers offers free shipping? Is that a form of bait and switch?
I had many books in my cart that I was getting from my son's wish list at Amazon. He had about 20 in his list. As I added them to my cart at your site, I deleted them from his wish list. Apparently I was taking too long shopping. Your site deleted the entire contents of my cart. So, I cannot retrieve his wish list to get some of the books he wanted. I was very upset over that.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

Answer: HI Zoila, Delivery timeframes within the States are usually between 3 and 8 days, but it depends on where the seller is that is shipping the item to you.

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.
