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.

Accountability zero from seller and no proper information on website
I'm delighted to have this book "The Doheny Mansion." It provides even more information than I expected about the Doheny's and their houses. The book is a paperback and was shipped in a bubble package. That wasn't enough to prevent the book from getting bent at one corner in shipping. I've been putting heavy books on it to flatten it out, but it would be better to ship a book like this (large and paperback) in a stiff carton that will protect it better.
Ordered text books for my intro to psychology and intro disabilities studies course. Textbooks came quickly under expedited shipping. Condition of book was superb, I ordered used but they looked brand new.
I needed 3 vocal scores for a musicology class and Alibris had all the editions I needed at a great price. Shipping was quick and items arrived neatly packaged and just as described.
Convenient, speedy and clear access on your website throughout the selection and buying process. The price was right; hopefully, the book will really arrive in "good" condition as well.
I am an avid reader and can always find the book I am looking for.
Easy to use website, had the book, prompt shipment, excellent selection,
Efficient site, good book description, price is quite fair.
I remembered owning this book decades ago. When I remembered it, I wanted it. I goggled, I ordered, it came, and it's way better than I remembered.
Got my book -- thank you very much. This is annoying me. All i want to do is make a purchase.
Easy, quick checkout. The price was good and finding older disney dvds can be hard
A very interesting website with lots of options. I was hoping for better shipping prices
I got a cookbook from the library and loved it. I wanted my own copy so I could make notes in it, etc. Since this version has been replaced by a new version, online retailers were selling this version for $50 or more.
Mobile website is finicky unless you're using chrome, but these are some of the best prices around. And I find books here I can't find other places. So, I keep coming back.
So happy to have found a great resource for books that's not Amazon.
My confusion re-establishing a new pw was a bit frustrating.
Comfortable. Short and sweet but to say 50 characters for buying a book not easy
It is easy and affordable and I can order right from my computer
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.
