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.

Enjoy shopping at Alibris. ONE PROBLEM: There is no provision for purchasing more than one of the same item at the same time. I click that item when adding to cart. Finally found the the "Remove" or "Add" section where I could increase my order of that item. Example I needed 15 each of the book: "Learning to Love all of me"
Nothing to say except excellent UI and always reputable.
I order a book from one group on November 27th. They had a good rating. On Dec 30th when I hadn't received the book I asked for a refund however I did have to search for another copy. The one book I did receive was in great shape.
So much better for finding books than amazon that tried to sell me breakfast cereal
Navigation a hassle.
Seller's item description changed from a specific one to a generic one in the space of a few minutes, the time it took to add item to the cart.
Very good place to buy books the coustmer service is excellent can't believe how reasonable the prices are!
Awesome choices of all kinds of films for very low prices.
Found all books wanted to order! User friendly website
Everything laid out clearly, shopping was easy, and checkout was easy
Would like to see shipping discounted when ordering multiple items from a single vendor. As it stand, shipping fee per unit for this type of purchase is a rip off!
Everything was fine; didn't see a way to send this as a gift. Is there a way to do that? I liked that it was so easy to update my credit card information.
Very easy and I found everything that I was looking for.
I love the prices! But can hardly afford shipping. I can't afford to buy large amounts of books for free shipping
I find this site to be very helpful and have had a good experience getting the books that I am required to have for class. Thank you for the great experience
You mentioned free shipping these next 2 days. I chose books with the truck mark. I spent the required amount. I'm being charged for shipping. It is sometimes easier to shop with Amazon because my shipping is always free.
I liked the savings I received from the emailed coupon and the computer figuring out better buys for the same books.
Alibris is an awesome way to get decent and cheap used copies of world literature, saving you the time of searching through stacks of books in a used bookstore, while at the same time often benifiting those used bookstores you'd like to support.
Please specify that you want a 2 letter state code so customers aren't wasting time reentering credit card information please
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.
