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.

Alibris is an online bookstore I have used on occasion when a Used Book price is better than their competition.
I am very happy but I have only just started to read therefor it is a bit early to answer this question. What I have read is clear, simple but also profound.
It was fine, knock off the requirement, just let me order. Adios.
Excellent. I have used Alibris for years and am very satisfied with the service.
Alibris is the first place I look for all my books. Since I have an extensive resource and reference library, I would have paid thousands of dollars if I had bought all titles from a book store. The overall selection is good, used book conditions are as described and prices are reasonable. Many times I pay more for shipping than for all the books I have ordered.
Website easy to use, had what I was looking for, and checkout was simple
I always look for books on Alibris first---good experiences count!
Site easy to navigate. Easy to find what I'm looking for. Great details. Quick easy check out. Thank you!
Very easy to use site... and inventory is shown on everything...
Got the book I wanted for a reasonable price and it had all the information I needed.
I love Alibris; they're my favorite place to buy books on the internet. I wish Ex-Library Books would comprise there own category, because I mostly find them unacceptable, being battered, stickered, and magic markered into some hellish mess of a thing. And I wish it was formally stated, in no uncertain terms, that Very Good means that the book absolutely does come with a dust cover in very good condition, and that, even a very good copy of any book that does not include a dust cover would automatically demote that book to the Good category. That just seems like common sense, to me.
Really happy with your selections, but wish that shipping was cheaper!
It was what I was looking for, was the right price and came in a timely manor.
Had what I was looking for at a great price.
It was able to quickly find the correct course textbook edition. The price was very economical. I hope that I receive this book within the next 7 days.
I ordered it and they sent it. They didn't guarantee I would like it. It's not their fault.
I entered 3 books for a total of $41.00 that said they had free shipping but it still showed shipping of $11 when I went to check out. I cancelled the other two books and bought only one.
Thank you so much I need to read this book
I have not a book in a long time
Speedy and relatively easy to navigate but having to enter more information here is becoming very irritating
Appreciate the great selection of hard to find audiobooks.
Quick and easy. Every book I have purchased has been in excellent condition
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.
