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 found the book I needed for class at a reasonable price.
Good, I'm reserving my overall opinion until I receive the product. In the past I have had a poor experience with alibris so far shipping time and delivery by some 0f your sellers. Hopefully, that experience is no longer case and I can return to shopping here on a regular basis. Thx.
I love love love this site! Super easy and always have what I'm looking for
I bought this book through Bookfinder. On that website the price of this book including shipping was to be $21.22. You are charging me 22.41 plus tax, which is not mentioned on the Bookfinder website. Shouldn't the advertised Bookfinder price I selected be the price I pay?
It took me an inordinate amount of time to place this simple order for one book that I could have done much more quickly with Amazon for essentially the same price. Initially, the system would not accept my "I am not a robot" answers, then it would not accept my new address, among other issues. I preferred to support your store rather than Amazon, but now think my choice was not worth the extra effort and time.
Very easy steps for checkout. No ads distracting the view.
Easy and quick and had the 4 books from a series that I was looking for.
1. Made me give credit card info 3 or more times, without explanation, which signifies there is none. 2. Got email yesterday saying $20 bonus, but there was no bonus for my purchase, so misleading. 3. Jumps between screens with no explanation. 4. When shipping address first appears, it can't be editied, and no message as to how to do that later. So it was confusing.
This is my first time ordering through this site and it has been seamless. Good!
I never heard of Alibris before. Much less expensive than where I had these books saved on a wishlist, even with the other's free shipping.
Easy to use and easy to find books with various editions.
It's annoying when, under "item details", shipping is listed as $4.49 but then shows up at checkout as $7.98. This happened to me several times today.
Love shopping with you. Would like to learn how to get coupons!
Books come in a timely manner and are in good condition. Would like to know how to get coupons
Usually books come in a timely manner. I have never had a book that was damaged or in bad condition.
Quick, easy, fun to shop! I would recommend the Alibris site to everyone who likes to read.
I am very frustrated that one cannot save money on shipping by bundling purchases from individual shops. I think this is price-gouging, and inflates the price of shipping unfairly.
Sometimes you have to have a book name title rather than just the author
So Far so good
Last time we had shipping delay issues
I've ordered before and never had any problems with my orders
Was able to effectively change my shipping address
I'm happy to find the book I want but it takes a long time to receive them.
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.
