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 prices for used books. The shipping rates can be better though.
Great selection, accurate, and prices are very nice.
Alibris makes it so easy to find the old classic technical volumes that are hard to find elsewhere.
I like the selection for the out of print book that is otherwise hard to find. I was able to choose between multiple sellers for the one that fit. My
Dad will love this book! I also like the PayPal option to buy. Easy transaction.
Very easy ordering. User friendly we site. Can't wait to read the book.
I would prefer to see the free shipping reflected earlier in the checkout process.

Thank you, I have enjoyed doing business with Alibris for a lot of years.
Normal shopping experience. Nothing particularly exciting
Always easy to find what I'm looking for--lots of variety & choices.
Always easy, many choices & options.
Purchasing process was simple…haven't received product yet as I just ordered it, so we will have to wait and see that end of it.
I love being able to find deals of rare books! I'd recommend this site to any book lover, any day!
Good job easy to negotiate and order and explaining about shipping options were found. Thanks
I lost my first shopping cart because i had not logged in. I will try to find those books tomorrow.
Great but you should update the site with an option to search books from sellers based on distance, to find the options closest to us to create less of a carbon footprint when ordering from your website.
I found my book that was unavailable from other sellers. The price was more than fair and the ordering was quick and easy.
Can find any old movie I could think of. Shipping prices are really what keep me from purchasing my hearts desire. Lol
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
