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.

Alibris provides useful information about the book, the vendor, and the order. Greatly appreciated.
Very easy to choose the right book.
I love alibris. It is streamlined and to the point! No last minute upsell attempts. Just what I want.
Site seems very streamlined. Everything I seek pops right up and with my account it is as easy as it is on Amazon to place my order.
I love Alibris…. Wondering why the shipping is so high? All separate Media Mail packages, I guess?
Allowed me to fast check out as a guest using paypal
Excellent selection, excellent service, no problems... always a pleasure. Completely satisfied / highly recommend. Thank you:)
I love alibris with its fixed international shipping rates
Swift and efficient with very reasonable international shipping
No hassles. Direct and concise information provided.
Search for an adult hard sci-fi book involved scrolling through a whole lot of kids and young adult fantasy. Would like to see more specific categories!
So easy to buy the books I want quickly and often at discounted prices.
I found the book I was looking for. It was easy to order. I look forward to receiving the book very soon.
Easy to navigate and the book was available, awesome!
Completed order in 5 minutes. I have been dealing with Alibris for over 20 years and I have never had a problem with them. Most of the books I order are ones I have read and I am getting them for friends.
Experience was nice & smooth, will be back for more books soon. Thanks
It was very easy to find the book I was looking for! Thank you!
Sincerely, Lydia Simoneau
I landed from a DuckDuckGo search on exactly what I was looking for and the checkout process was easy and straight forward. Most websites are borderline jarring between advertising and attempts to be *too helpful*. Alibris is a rare and pleasant experience. Thanks.
We really enjoy Alibris. You just never know what you'll find. I always recommend this site to all book lovers!
Replacing a book I let slip away... very timely read.
Very easy to order and incredible prices. Why shop anywhere else when it's all here.
Simple interface, lots of payment options to choose from
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.
