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 have never had any negative issues with Alibris. Every book I have ordered have been delivered.
Books were of the quality advertised, they arrived on time, and the tracking data was great.
I have had good experiences with Alibris in the past. ******
In general I have been satisfied with Alibris over the years.
Love buying books thru Alibris! It's timely, the used books are of good quality and the assortment is exceptional.
I ordered a book from Alibris at a very decent price. The book I got was autographed! What a deal.
The process was painful. I clicked a link out of an email you sent me. I spent about an hour shopping the first time and was clicking back-and-forth on another browser to look up books I was interested in and see reviews. I had about 14 items in my cart and then they all disappeared. I tried again using my search history to try and remember which books I had selected. I lost quite a few because I did not actually look for reviews on all the books I put in my cart and then once again when I tried to log on and pay my cart was empty. In between these instances I found it very challenging. I'd add a book from my wishlist but the cart number did not change. I was back and forth. I almost gave up but there were a few books i really wanted. I wound up taking screenshots of the books I wanted. Opening up a fresh browser logging on re-entering the books from my wish list
One of my books, I ordered 3, took almost 3 weeks to get to me. Shipping/tracking was not super helpful either. The books were in great shape and as described. Wish I would have been told it would take 3 weeks to get 1 book.
Easy to shop for multiple books in one order; most sellers are very easy to communicate with.
Great prices, great selection but the shipping is kind of expensive.
It's always a treat to shop here. I sometimes find treasure.
Ni rahisi kuchagua na kununua vitabu. Nashauri wengine waitumie.
Kununua vitabu Alibris vinafika na hali nzuri na kwa haraka. Jambo ninalolipenda kutoka kwao ni wanasafirisha Dunia nzima.
Seems chill. (the rest of this message is to fulfill my 50 word word count. Hey guys. Whats up, uhh okay bye)

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.
