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 thought I was getting free shipping. Also, I kept putting my email address in the sign in but it wasn't registering.
I usually only order from thrift books but they don't have the books I'm really looking for Rose Pressey Halloween LaVeau series
It is complicated at check out; I am not sure if the purchase was processed or if I need to process it now (will it be two orders or only one? I only want one book - I hope I order only one book). It is not clear.
Happy to be notified when my desired book came back in stock.
So easy to filter quality and price. Hope I get exactly what I needed. So far so good.
I had a heck of a time correcting my billing address. Apparently, it has to be EXACTLY as it appears on my credit card statement (which is never asked of in online purchases). Your website wouldn't allow me to correct it, so I had to redo my order. The prices are reasonable, though. But please make your website more user-friendly.
Had what I wanted at the best price after shopping other sites.
Prices are comperable to other sites, however, there selections are up to date and delivery time works well.
Easy and this site had what Amazon didn't. And you literally can't beat the price.
I found just what I wanted at a price I could afford. Check out was easy and quick.
I would love to, but its been a very trying day,
Thank you
Alibris always seems to have what I'm looking for.
Que porquería de libro. La Sra, Browning copió de otros libros la información y eso es plagio, robo de información. Con la excepción de Tony Buzan ella no dio credito de donde saco la informacion. No pude sacar ningun provecho porque lo que escribio ya la habia leido en otros libros. Para rellenar el libro y se viera con abundantes paginas, lo escribio con letras grandes y a doble espacio. Mi deseo era terminarlo de leer rápido pero no encontraba la motivacion. Antes de llegar a la pagina 40 me di cuenta que habia tomado una mala decicion en obtener el libro. A aveces me sentia molesto por haberlo comprado. En realidad parece un panfleto mas que un libro, yo no la recomiendo. Quiciera devolverlo pero no hay opcion para hacerlo.
It was fair but finding items was fairly easy using titles
Great. The website interface is clean, clear, and easy to navigate. The check out is nice since shipping costs and applicable taxes are clearly shown.
Shopping and ordering a book on Alibris is very easy. I appreciate the seamless experience.
Very easy to navigate your website and place an order
Would be nice if there was a way to sees which seller has multiple of the books I am shopping for to bunch purchases together for few separate shipments
Alibris is my go to for any used books. They have the best prices and widest variety
I was purchasing a book, entered payment information and then it disappeared! The website says items in shopping cart are reserved for 12 hours, but it had been only 10 minutes!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

If you send us the details with your order number in an email to info@alibris.com we can look into the specifics for you. Thank you for writing. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service

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.
