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.

All links worked. The wait time was very short. Found what I wanted.
Alibris is easy to use and the books always arrive in excellent condition. The prices cover a wide range, but when you find a good deal, it's unbeatable. Unlike other used book vendors, I have never regretted a purchase from Alibris.
The shipping is something that needs fixing if you don't order directly from Alibris
Love the array of books, just have to figure out how to get my shipping costs down more
Love being able to get books not easy to find elsewhere and also at a discount.
Easy and great prices. It is wonderful that the textbook options are available too.
Very good but did not accept my coupon don't know why maybe I did not buy enough
Excellent service. I have always been pleased with your service
Several books that I have purchased in the past have not shown up
Clear, concise, easy and great search engine I love Alibris!
Once again the coupon codes failed to be used
Thank you for your easy to order forms. Every time I'm looking for a book you always come through. Thanks again.
I've been very pleased with my shopping experience so far. Thank you
Very nice and easy to find what I was looking for. Thank you
Only store to have book in stock. The price of the book is higher than the average price of other vendors. I hope the shipping is fast.
It was super easy to get what I wanted and check out. Thanks!
Said eligible for free shipping but that's not how it was processed
Fine, they got books. Not always perfectly described. It seems book sellers online don't like to look at their own stock to describe it accurately. It's a bulk business but still.
I've made several purchases and have received all orders with no issues.
I wish that Alibris would offer a discount at time of purchase, vice after a purchase. I don't order that frequently
Everything I was looking for was here and with lots of options.
Great selection; can almost always find what I'm looking for.
Once I put something in the cart it was tedious getting back to the page I was looking at.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

If you send us the details with your order number in an email to info@alibris.com we can look into the specifics for you. Thank you for writing. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service

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.
