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.

Payment is simple but when notified a book was available by the time I went to buy it was gone. Quickly found another.
Great, easy, but would put a button to allow "continue shopping" on checkout page. I wanted to go back and choose a different seller closer to shipping destination but did not want to risk losing all the info I put in. Also for people who are thinking they might purchase something else right at the end of the process.
It was okay. Would have been helpful to see shipping included in every seller before checking out
Great selection and search platform, all was fine. Dennis
Books always arrive quickly and in good expected condition.
It would be nice to know which shipping carrier will be used and to have an option for faster delivery
My selections were held long enough so I could finish my order the following day.
Was easy to find everything, love the different book options and details
Hopefully this cookbook will help me because of my illness.
Found the book that I was looking for very quick and at a great price. The shipping charges were not outrageous. Very happy with this site so far!
Easier checkout than other sites I visited for the same order.
It was an easy experience finding the book I was looking for. I withhold further opinion until the expediency of delivery experience.
I love using alibris.com to find used books to fill my library! It supports small booksellers, I have had great experiences with the sellers and good quality books, and who needs brand new when I am going to pass a book along to friends anyway? Great prices and quick shipping; it's always a win-win.
Love this site
Always find what I am looking for at the most amazing prices with great sellers
I've always received what I ordered, delivery isn't the fastest, but that's ok. Prices is the main reason I shop at Alibris, but prices recently have been rising, need to do something about this affordability is important and is a key in where I place my order. Availability, you need more inventory of medical books especially those intended to help you pass the medical boards Step 1,2 and 3.
Page must be updated to more user friendly and better visual aspect.
I ordered UNIVERSITY PHYSICS for a student studying Advanced Placement Physics. IT NEVER ARRIVED! Now, three weeks later, I am forced to order another copy! I saw no sign that Alibris cared about the needs of a high school student.
Gentlemen, Your an excellent source for older books. I do not know what i would do without your very valuable site. Keep up the good work. Best. Frederick Wm. Heath

6892055d0d1b02ed with an IP number 35.1 41.148.5 I hope that you will clarify this as I am a frequent purchaser of books on oAlibris. Frederick Heath fwhjsc@gmail.com my phone number is 813-362-3829 thank you
Good so far would like the shipping time/fees accessible v earlier in transaction
If other book stores are selling the same book more expensively, you can bet Alibris.com has that book at discount prices.
Alibris is the Best! It's been my pleasure! Thank you, Alibris.
Shipping listed with the book was $3.49, but charged $4.49. Whatever. It's a buck. But still.
I usually have an easy time shopping Alibris. This time, my sister asked me to buy books for her under my account but chipped to her & charged to her card. It was the addition of addressee & payment method that kinda threw me.
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.
