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.

Easy to follow prompts and forms.
It actually works, as some online shopping sites really don't.
I'd like to see it explicitly stated that my credit card will not be kept on file.
When I typed in the title of the book I wanted, it did not come up. However, when I typed in the author's name, many copies came up.
Even after 10 years my account was active and ready to use
Always find what I'm looking for. Quick and easy procedure.
I don't understand how 8.25% tax on a $. 99 order could be $. 45.
I can always find the books I'm looking for and the books are always good quality
The website should be updated because it's very hard to understand the book listings initially
I have gotten several books from this website and they've all been great.
Have always had good experiences ordering from Alibris
I am thrilled to have found Alibris! Great selection of books and extremely easy to work with.
I am so happy to have discovered Alibris! It is exactly what a book site should be. I never fail to find a book I want, at a price that's more than fair.
Found every book I have been wanting to read at a very reasonable price.
Quick and easy. No problem finding the CD's I was looking for.
This review is based on buying the book since I didn't receive it but have had positive results with Alibris in the past. It was so easy to find the book I wanted and to order it. Thank you, Alibris.
Easy and very reasonable price which is even more appreciated during this time of exploitative price increases.
Found what I needed at a good price. Hope it ships quickly.
It was easy to shop, but I do have a concern with the shipping times. I need this for a class next week. I realize this is short notice, but I just found out about the need for the book and the instructor is providing the first day's reading assignment. My concern is that shipping time is stated as 3-30 days! That's a large span. I hope the book will be shipped asap. Thank you.
After placing an item in my cart I was prompted to change my password; when I did, the selected item was gone and a copy at more than twice its price was available.
I have ordered from you, once before... and it was a good experience..
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.
