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.

Quick search and comprehensive listing of copies and their descriptions.

Happy to have found the rare book I was looking for - thank you!
Very easy to navigate this site. A great place to look for rare books.
I ordered two books.They both arrived. Really, they got here via a shipping carrier. They did. They arrived. The titles and authors were correct. Honest, the books I ordered got here. The only tweak in the whole experience is your plea for my review, and moreover, that I use at least fifty characters to do so.
Have been a big fan of alibris for many years and continue to feel they give very good service and have a large choice of books.
Very user friendly site, and much to choose from, and easy to move around in website
Found the book very quickly by typing in the author. Your system for coding the condition of the book and the reliability of the bookstore makes my selection very easy and quick. And check-out as a repeat customer was very fast
Book that I was looking for was easy to find. Then I was able to select the condition of the book that I wanted. I had to update payment information, but that went easily. Good experience overall.
I was going to order from another company, but they did not offer payment through PAYPAL. Thankfully, you accept payments through Paypal and that layer of security is invaluable. Than youi n advance
Found what I was looking for quickly and the results had enough clarity that I could tell it was correct
Why can't I sort properly? Why cant I sort by date, why not by mult-factor sorting? Geez... database code is so simple. Lazy@#$
I ordered three books through Alibris. Great prices and all of the books were in very good to like new condition. Two came well before the anticipated delivery date, only one was a little late but they all came from different parts of the US and I live in Canada where the postal system is undergoing problems at the present time.
Prices are very reasonable and you have great variety. Your website was easy to use and made it easy to find your best buys.
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.
