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.

It's great stars system a mess I can't straighten it out. Tried to give 5 stars and can't do it. There I just got it. Phew.

I'm new to alibis and find that it's a great place to shop for all my reading needs.
This is the first time I have used this site and I am impressed with the search function and the overall website interaction.
I've always come to Alibris website when I want to purchase a book, new or old.
I had to update my credit card information -- it was done quickly and correctly.
Prices are great. Just wish it didn't cost so much to ship. Wish there was a bundling discount.
Always my "go to" site when I come across anything I'm interested in. Love to buy used if I can
In used books, the scrolling section is not easy on the eyes.
I was happy to find such a selection and at such great prices!

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.
