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.

Easy to find the book I was looking for - at a great price!
I've been using Alibris for years to get everything from textbooks to storybooks and I've been consistently satisfied with the experience. Fast shipping, and books are in great condition for second hand. :)
Convenient. However, was unfortunate that I wasn't able to pay through Paypal, which would have been preferred.
Free shipping is confusing. Without having to read your list of eligibles it would help to see immediately if the item selected is eligible. If it already is, I, missed it, and apologize.
Love the website. I buy many books over the years & always start with bookfinder.com. Alibris very often has the best combination of conditions, prices, s/h, etc choices.
Which means I've happily and safely bought quite a number of books from your sellers. Thank you!
I had no idea about other booksellers besides Amazon, so it came as a surprise when I found your website. Since then, I have basically become more of an alibris customer than Amazon and I wanted to say thanks for helping us book fanatics find each other outside the Bezos empire.
Very easy to find books not in the mainstream. Every book I have purchased so far has been in very good condition.
I got an email offering me $15 off this weekend only - It did not state the minimum order amount. Please include the minimum order amount in future promotions.
The experience was excellent. Simple to sign up. Enjoyed the automatic price savings option shown in the check out process.
This is how I do all my used book shopping now. Easy. Reliable. Awesome selection
Easy to find what I was looking for. Great Prices.
I love this site. I have gotten a lot of books from here, on many different subject. Thank you for being here.
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.
