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.

Website was easy to use, had all my books in stock, happy with the order process.
Fast, Easy way to order my text books.
Took a lot of mucking around to get a the kind of price I was looking for including shipping. It would be nice if searches highlighted the stores whose books are already in the cart, so that shipping is from the fewest places possible
Very Good Prices. Site is easy to navigate.
Only dislike is that coupon code is only valid for over $50, but have to sign up for emails first, before you find out.
A little confused at first where the couplon code is put in. This worked itself out. Thanks for the coupon!
I sought a book on another larger supplier's website, but decided to order from Alibris as the same book, new, was over $40 more there than here on Alibris.
I have ordered here before. Items always arrive in condition states and timely.
I love buying used books. Good for the environment.
Slight difficulty updating my billing address this time.
A little early to be for review. I only at that charged my card... get back after your arrival.
Very easy to find books and an easy process to buy
Your shipping cost are too high. I get an email indicating a coupon code to apply to my order; no limitations were indicated. Then when I applied it my order did not meet the minimum requirement. These type of surprises and not helpful. You should state up front what the conditions are for the coupon. This is likely my last order. Why do I need to agree to publish my assessment. Very pushy.
I had to enter everything twice, it threw me back to the beginning after touching
'Save & Continue'. Made me have second thoughts about using this sight
I had a good feeling about finding this book at Alibris,
How nice to locate this hard-to-find book at such a reasonable price!
I didn't have any problems navigating the order process. I didn't feel ike any mistake would land me in an unreturnable mess. Thank you.
I wish it was easier to find shipping prices for Canada
Great selection, quality and prices. Fast shipping.
I love alibris! It is a great place to find out of print books and support independent book sellers.
Quick & easy. Good book price and reasonable shipping fee.
I liked that I was able to order expedited shipping
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.
