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 liked being reminded that in the past I did not create a password; I placed order as guest. And to just do that again. Very helpful.
Amazing prices, easy to find books I'm interested in. Great quality of books!
SUCH A GOOD WEBSITE! I love that I can easily buy used books at a low price, decrease waste, etc. This is such a good idea and I have had great experiences with their shipping so far.
IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU WEED EDITIONS I DIDN'T ASK FOR, AND JUST INCLUDE THE ONES I'M SEARCHING FOR. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO WEED THEM MYSELF WITH SO LITTLE INFO AVAILABLE ON THE SITE.
I always like Alibris. For this particular book, I wish it would have been easier to distinguish between the one volume trilogy and the 3 separate volumes. Many offerings did not specify or even list the number of pages.
Alibris is my "go to" for books. They are rated accurately for condition and arrive in a timely manner.
Alibris can always be depended on for great service!
Love to find good books used on line. Send it soon.
I'm always looking for the more obscure titles unavailable on streaming services. I can usually find something affordable here.
My biggest problem is figuring out which UPC code are for unedited, uncut, films. Some are ruined by edits for squeamish or prudish viewing people. I want the film as the director intended. This is uncut as intended by director.
Some titles are rare and therefore hard to find and expensive. I'm poor so price is very important. One copy didn't play though I don't remember where it was from.
I can usually find a somewhat rare DVD here at Alibris. Adult erotica usually.(What I get on streaming services.)
Except for 1 DVD that was for area 2, (EU) that wouldn't play here in the US service is fine.
I can usually find the lesser known and foreign filme here that interest me. The ones that aren't sold by mainstream sources because of "controversy", or explictness.
I can usually find the odd or rare DVD's on Allibris.
I find that having options for different books is very helpful. Some you need to be in excellent condition some you don't need that quality.
I like finding textbooks that I need and use without having to pay some of the prices; but if I do need a new one (disc) they are still very good. I don't pass your site on only because I don't have that many friends who still buy books.
Shipping cost is high. Also do not have a book i am looking for.
It would be nice to be able to add a personalized note for the recipient of a gift book.
This is the 3rd time I've attempted to order this book. I've received messages after placing the order that the copy I've purchased isn't available.
Almost perfect experiences with Alibris. Let the good times continue to roll. Thanks.
Always get what I want with this service. Thanks.
Thanks for your mostly excellent service. Hopefully, both dvd's arrive in good condition and safety.
So far so good after several years of excellent service to me in Canada and USA. Thanks.
I have to keep inputting the seller and watch to be sure I've not selected from another. When I input the seller, I want ALL searches for that one seller to not change until I've said I want a different seller.
Thank you for finding this book - it has been on my want list for a long time, and with Alibris the search was going on in the background and I had only to wait.
A great service - will start using it more now that I know it works!
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.
