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.

Smooth transaction. Search very fast. Large selection of books. Easy payment process.
Always something new to discover each trip into Alibris!
I don't hesitate to choose Alibris when possible because of the great service they've always given
Easy to find what I am looking for and at great prices!
I place the order because the price for the book is good but no coupon was applicable.
More information on the book: size, font size, picture of fonts
Happy that you had the books I was looking for! Easy app to work with
Quick and easy to purchase and set up account. Hope the delivery is quick and condition is as stated in description. "Like New."
I like the affordable options of good used material. Also, I like that the description stated, "some highlighting."
I was surprised at the high shipping costs from other retailers, but I caught on quickly as to weighing the price differences VS. bundled or free shipping. Found lots of what I wanted very cheap!
I need to learn how to use my payment methods better. I was having trouble using my credit card. The window asking for the security code on the credit card wouldn't allow me to fully populate it. Maybe it didn't know it was an American Express card I was attempting to use.
Alibris uses an exceedingly simple webpage format. The ordering process is smooth. The prices are UNBEATABLE across the web, and I have found it to be a good source for hard-to-find books.
Alibris is great! They have a wonderful selection and used books are always the quality described. I have purchased here many times.
Would really appreciate it if shipping prices were included in overall prices. It'd make the cart price a lot less scary.
Very easy to find available books and to compare them.
Even though sometimes it takes a while to get a book, it is worth the wait. I love the coupons too.
Got it. Don't like your shipping when amazon ships for free.
I love Alibris.com! I can always find what I'm looking for at a great price.
Not easy to get the most discounted books. Superb used books at fantastic prices for family with few resources.
Site is great, there needs to be a more transparent way to see shipping costs though.
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.
