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.

Its always fun shopping on Alibris and it takes long enough for orders to arrive that a person almost forgets about it and then is happy to see the order.
Great prices. Simple site to navigate. I highly recommend.
Very easy website to use which makes it so simple to make purchases.
Easy to use. Found the book I wanted right away. Provided options.
Easy navigation, great choices on used or new items.
Finding the books was great. The shipping cost however, not so great. Too expensive.
In preparing my first order, I was careful to bundle items from a single location as much as possible (and prepared to drop smaller groupings if the S&H wasn't worth it), but your shipping charges seem to be calculated as if each item would be shipped separately. Thirty six dollars shipping for about a dozen DVD's from Goodwill of Southern California--I don't think so! Canceled 26 items, only ordered a couple oldies.
I found books I was hoping to find but never thought I would. Thank you
I had a terrible time trying to get a book. I had it in my cart but then I created an account. And after that my cart was empty and the copy I wanted to buy was no longer available. Then I tried again but again what I put in my cart disappeared! So I "lost" out on the 2 w the lowest prices. I settled on a 3rd one for a little more money and that seemed to work. But the problem meant I paid $20. More than I hoped to! Very frustrating!
Excellent website and you have the book I want to get for my husband's birthday gift.
Wide selection. Looking forward to arrival of my order.
I found my item quickly and the check out has been easy.
Fast, cheap and easy. Just how I like my … shopping experiences.
Quick and easy. Hoping the delivery will be the same :)
Return customer. Have always had great customer service and experience.
Alibris is a great and easy-to-use website where you can find textbooks at a great price!
Cannot go back to check something without losing order
I love buying books from Alibris. They always have what I am looking for and the prices cannot be beat!
Found what I was looking for at great prices and I got free shipping to boot... can't beat that! :)
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.
