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.

I always check Alibris first. Always reliable--and its not Amazon.
I always find what I am looking for at Alibris, at a good price. And it is not Amazon.
Looking for one book by an author I didn't know and found several. Amazing. Results. Several books by him with a choice of conditions at reasonable prices. Great source!
Another search for books I thought might be hard to find, but I had a choice with excellent results. I have yet to be disappointed looking for older books or books that might seem hard to find.
Thank you for notifying me about the sellout son is sof the book. My son is so excited about receiving it
Placing the order was easy and the product was good and arrived on time.
Great job. I enjoyed shopping here and could recommend it. ðŸ¤
Book arrived in very good condition, as promised, and two days earlier than promised. Completely satisfied.
Found the book I wanted and it arrived in the condition advertised in a timely manner. Always a positive exprience with Alibris.
Easy website to use. Can't really say anything else since I have not yet received the book.
When checking out, I had trouble with the site accepting the state. And that seemed to cause other quirks.
Good prices and easy & convenient. Books have been in great condition.
Found the book I wanted. I have been satisfied for many years.

East shopping, product as described on webpage, easy and clear checkout process, quick order confirmation, timely shipping and delivery
Easy to order, good choices, good prices, product as described on website. I'm very satisfied.
Textbooks and references delivered right to your home, in better condition than expected and for a fraction of the price of your University Book Store! Shipping may be slightly longer than Amazon, but it is well worth it!
Arrived when I expected in a condition that was a little better than expected at a price that I could not come close to anywhere else. I'm happily learning!
Wonderful! Love your company, thank you so much! Its a great model and makes used books available to us who love them!
Very nice site. Set up for ease of use. Research easy to use, Large selection of material.
I found the book I'd had many years ago! Yay! I look forward to having it once again.
Great prices. Products come in with the expected quality, sometimes better. Website is very easy to navigate and use.
This has become my go-to online retailer for books. The selection is incredible and it isn't Amazon.
Alibris has a great inventory of new and used books. Website is easy to navigate.
Definitely a better alternative to Amazon. There is no reason to give Bezos more money when you can find used books/CDs at a better price on sites like Alibirs.
Speedy shipping item in perfect condition pleasure to do business with
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.
