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.

Your website is well designed. I go out of my way to use vendors that are not part of amazon.
I kept seeing information pop up periodically regarding free shipping, however, when it came to the screen where I needed to enter my credit card info, the shipping charges still showed upon on the order. I was hesitant to go any further, fearing I was going to get charged for shipping. It wasn't until I entered my credit card information and moved to the next screen that I was able to see the shipping charges no longer applied.
My Experience With You Was Grrrreat... Very Easy... Much Appreciated... No Headache... Definitely Buy Again... Looking for Season 7 Thank You!
It was easy. I compared prices with other places n this was less expensive
Super smooth checkout! I was happy to find the book my ND recommended for a much better price than any other online retailer! Thanks!
Overall, a good system. Only issue I had was with the two letter state abbreviation as I left a space at the end which caused the page to not process. Surprised there isn't a drop down menu of states to click on.
Left cart for an about an hour and everything disappeared. I understand its not possible to keep items in cart too long, but I didn't realize they would be gone in such a short time, and with no list of what I'd had in the cart. Shoot. Coupon was misleading. Purchased used books at full price with shipping, which is still a good value for me.
Very User-friendly website and I loved the discount promo code without purchasing anything prior my actual purchase. The BEST of ALL is that the book I purchased was way under the price I was getting through Amazon.com You Guys are the Best! It is good to have alternative. Thank You!
Find the books I want EVERY time! Easy to use site and all booksellers have been reputable and book conditions as noted. This is now my ONLY go to place for books. Never disappointed!
I'd love to have some assistance choosing the best option regarding shipping. It seems each individual book is $3.99 shipping and if I could consolidate that through one or 2 booksellers, perhaps I could avoid paying so much per book. Perhaps you do not wish to optimize that to benefit the individual sellers but I would love it.
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.
