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.

Tough to deal with changing billing and shipping addresses -- mine were outdated and hard to update in this system
Mostly good, though shipping and taxes sure add up!
Alibris is the best thing since half.com
Thank you for being able to fill my order in such a professional manner. This is one of the reasons I will continue to shop with you
Could find what I wanted easily. Don't like the shipping costs though.
I love that I can find used books in great condition for a fair price.
I love that you have such a wide collection of books and music to choose from!
Quick to find requested books. Easy to identify the ones I wanted
Tried other online book stores, not as good as Alibris... always seem to trust the reliable and good books and it proves to be the best. Thanks Alibris, Carol Cook
I used to like finding used books, but then shipping increased and you can only get free shipping on new books which is fine it's just that it makes things more expensive and your coupons are usually not very good.
Fairly easy, but missing the book condition... to avoid mistake buying acceptable instead of minimum good condition books.
The ability to shop without having a password would be wonderful. It is very frustrating. I tried to use your continue as guest and it would not work.
I had my order ready and it would not let use the easy checkout method. I had to get a new password thus loosing my order. Had to go through a new order of all I had already typed in.
Fast and easy check out. Self explanatory. I would recommend.
Easy quick just right - And I like that monies go to such a useful cause
Very helpful. Low cost and good quality books makes the shipping affordable!
Did not have chance to insert discount code during order process.
Easy to navigate; detailed product information; many vendors with associated reviews; clear pricing and shipping information.
I love this site. It's fast and books are in great condition. I recommend it to all my friends.
Would have liked pictures of the book - to confirm condition
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.
