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.

Great service I scouted every online book site. Not only did Alibris have it with a very fast and easy search, the prices were even lower and smooth seamless checkout. Now I expectantly wait …
I was going to order this somewhere else but your shopping was cheaper and the book was too!
I enjoy how easy it is to shop and find what you are looking for.
I'm grateful for resources like this, it was easy I was just a bit confused on the prices listed, it would give 2 dollar amounts as in "$4.55 $23.99" and I first assumed the first price was the book purchase and the next higher number was shipping cost I'm glad I investigated and saw it wasn't though.
Used Books that I receive are as described. Good shipping
I can always count on Alibris to have hard to find rare books!
Able to purchase hard to find books at great prices.
The cart malfunctioned, giving me a book I had already received. When I went to delete that one item, it deleted my whole order. Then the one book I wanted from a particular seller did not appear in search results and I had to choose another seller at a less favorable quality.
Again, great books, good prices. Always get my books... thank you
This website is terribly difficult to navigate, not user friendly at all. It took ages to find the titles I was looking for in the clunky search tool. Half the time the titles were mismatched with the wrong season as evidenced in the merchandise photos. The checkout process was one of the worst, terrible design. After all that there was no where to enter the THANKS code to even get the five buck discount. That being said, despite exhorbitant shipping fees, he merchandise was still the lowest price through your site. Well done I suppose. If you can afford to hire some competent coders I expect you will get a good deal more buisness when would be customers do not get frusturated and quit after you clean up the interface. Cheerio.
The book is less expensive for same book, same seller from Amazon
Great selection and service. I always find what I am looking for and receive it quickly.
Found what I was looking for right away for 99 cents. Yay
I can find books and DVDS that are difficult to find at reasonable prices. Service is excellent!
The website is easy to navigate and read
I love this website, so many good deals! And I can find books that I would have a hard time finding anywhere else!
I found a better price on your website than on Amazon.
Wish u would tell shipping time before order placed. I need book by next wk. Planned to read on plane
It was easy to find the item to order, and easy to purchase.
The online site and payment system are easy to use. Not as complicated as others.
Had the book I wanted and the price was reasonable (at least in my opinion).
Very good, but not allow me expedited shipping option.
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.
