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.

Excellent search tool & item descriptions, including isbn with cover pictures
Highly recommend buying books from this site. Even hard to find one are reasonably priced and delivered quickly.
Alibis had just what I wanted and was listed at a great price. My go-to site when I'm looking for hard to find books. Thanks!
Easy peasy - found just what I wanted. The most difficult part of the entire process was typing this review
I've been ordering through Alibris for years, couldn't be happier. Great customer service and wonderful books, plus getting to support independent bookstores across the country! What could be better?
Continue to find what I want and enjoy excellent service. Very happy customer with over 15 years of using Alibris.
Great site for books and other items; recommended to many people in my family as well
New HC was put in two thin plastic bags without additional protective material like bubble wrap. Fortunately, it made it through without incident. With this kind of packing that seller used, it may very well have arrived with stubbed corners, crushed spine ends, or sharp board dents. Also, it took seventeen days for the book to arrive from the date of ordering. Other that that, okay.
I updated to my new credit card but couldn't complete the purchase without going to pay-pal. Your software told me to put something in my cart...which it correctly showed that I already had done.
FRUSTRATING!
I found & bought the book I wanted in less than half-a-minute!
Bravo!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………….waste of time.
I found exactly what I was looking for right away. Ordering was very easy and
I couldn't be more pleased to have finally located this book. After checking several other booksellers I was pretty certain I"d never find a copy.
Found the books and at great prices,also there were a lot of sellers to choose from.
Took nearly 4 weeks to get here but all is good, it is to be expected these days especially coming from the other side of the world.
Efficient, user friendly, reasonably fast shipping, good cut service
I got the correct book I ordered. Was a little overpriced for what I got.
I purchased a used book from through Alibris. It looks brand new. I was very happy with the shipping time and the price was spot on.
Website is quick and efficient. Information is provided. Ok
This is an easy-to-use website. Thank you for carrying the reading books I need for my clients.
Great work for our Youth. Thank you. I cannot type anymore...it hurts. God Bless.
It has been awhile since I shopped alibris but getting back into my account was logical
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.
