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.

They are cheap prices but not good enough coupons or promos to help with high shipping
This is my first experience with Alibris. I am excited to see how good the quality of the dvd 's when they arrive.
You are the only one that had the DVD that I have been looking for in the whole world thank you so much for having it available and such a easy checkout process I only wish you had Google pay for security.
Fast, easy, lots of options for quality, paper or hard cover
Hopefully the book arrives. I haven't used alibris in awhile due to problem over a year ago.
Easy to check on individual sellers. In most cases, fair amount of information given about condition of book(s)
It's really easy to find all the books i want for cheap. They are also in good condition.
It took me too long to locate and type in my credit card information. If you implemented Apple Pay a press of my thumb would have been enough. But, I guess, I imagine you believe books are very important cultural items which should not be subject to impulse buying: You deserve credit for that, I think.
And, please, don't get me started on you forcing me to allow you to share this purchase with that wonderful benign overseer of our culture known as Google. I totally agree to allow you to share this explanation of why I will never visit your site again with the whole world.
Your shipping charges are outrageous. The prices were pretty great until I got slapped in the face with the shipping charges. So I will be making Very FEW purchases in the future.
I buy books from AbeBooks. I hear they're a subsidiary of Amazon but most of the shipping for books is FREE. Unlike Amazon's rip-off shipping costs. So I keep coming back. All The Time.
You might want to think about lowering your shipping charges.
Good prices and selection. Shipping is fair. Was unable to find specific books for grooming Shih Tzu dogs but a search to sign up was available so I am hopeful the search will eventually produce results.
I found the books I needed quickly and was able to checkout as a guest without any additional hassle.
Best place to find inexpensive books and other materials.
On the at. Order you should be able to switch books. I should be able to switch the ones with the greater savings.
You were recommended by a contact at Eighth Day books. Your price for this out-of-print book was the best of the other sites I had looked at.
Found what I wanted right away! Shipping charge was a bit high, though.
All items are on one invoice and they arrive quickly.
Easy to use, awesome shipping price over all check out was awesome
Alibris has found the book I requested and notified me of their find. I have placed an order for the book. Now, we'll just have to see how long it takes to get merchandise from England, post Brexit. I'm waiting anxiously, eagerly. Thanks Alibris and Cambridge Rare Books.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.
Answer: Hi Dennis, That depends on where the seller is located and where your deliver address is as well. Generally, shipments within the States are delivered within a week or so, though holiday shipping might slow down a bit.

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.
