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.

Have been really happy with all DVDs ordered from you guys except one of snowdogs that was listed as good condition but keeps hanging up... but that is a chance when buying used, and not complaining. Your prices are great.
I placed items in my cart early yesterday and they disappeared. I had to choose a pricier item.
You have a great selection and so many good-quality used books.
The prices and selection are great.
The orders came when they were supposed to and the condition was true to what was given when I ordered the item.
Very pleased to find there was a copy of the book I wanted. I have used alibris in the past with great results.
You had what I wanted. Price was good. Easy to order!
Easy! Price is right and was user friendly. I will be back.
My shopping experience: Straightforward + speedy = satisfactory
First time shopping this site. So far seems to be a good experience
Application of bonus offers not clear and effective. Dislike the shipping costs intensely.
Clicked your discount coupon (two dollars off shipping for purchases over twenty dollars) and there was no response so I was forced to pay the full shipping amount on my order of 29.67. Also no response on the one-day $15 dollars off coupon. No matter how I clicked those discount offers nothing was done. So, with all your coupon offers they were useless for me today. Very disappointing.
Easy to use site, found nearly every book I was looking for.
Your method of sneaky posting of prices is VERY underhanded. All shipping appears to be the same amounts IS THAT DUE TO YOUR POLICY? Shipping cost do not appear until final step of check out, unless you dig further to discover actual shipping cost. Since the customer has nearly finished their purchase they are reluctant to go back and cancel their purchase.
I do not understand. When I entered my $90 order for two book, it said my purchases was paid shipping but a $4.50 charge was already in my invoice and it was never deducted and stayed all through to check-out.
Also, your photos of the books showed two different hardbound covers, but each has corresponding item numbers. How do I specify that I want matching covers for Volume 1 & 2? Sam Orsak

You can spend hours looking through old and new movies - I've never been dissapointed.
Every thing has been amazing, I am very thrilled every time I shop here and always feel fantastic about it!
Smooth as butter. Mice and direct. Found what I was looking for. Thank you so much
If it arrives, I'd say that all was perfect - the price, the registration and check out all super.
Great selection, reasonable prices... what's not to like?
Thank you for a great shopping experience; easy searches, good finds and easy ordering.
Some dealers charge a lot to mail things. Almost 8 dollars to mail one book?
Excellent website look and feel with easy shopping.
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.
