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 been buying books here for a while. Always find what I want and at a price i can afford.
The book was old yellowed beaten up and I put it directly into the trash where it should have been put the first time
Has always been excellent with the service. I wrote to the vendor congratulating them on their shipping department
I went a couple of weeks without hearing anything about my order after getting a notification that it had shipped and could not check the status because the website was down. I wasn't sure if my order was going to show up, or at least show up in time for the start of my class, for which I ordered my textbook weeks in advance.
I belong to a book club, we have already discussed one of your books.I like the way the way the author tells a story. I like being able to order books online & in good condition…when I'm done reading your books I donate it to our community clubhouse library. Thank You
I needed this book for our forthcoming book club discussion…ordering online with you made it easy, when done with the next month feature which is "Brooklyn", when the discussion has taken place, I will gladly donate this book to our community library room.Thank You!
I look for books that meant something to me of the years and I like to read them again. Searching through Alibris I am elated to find these books and reminded of the great lessons I learned from them... Thank you for these opportunities
I look for books no longer in print... I enjoy getting books that have helped me in the past... and pass them on to new young people.
So far, so good. We'll see when the order arrives how accurate you are.
Not gonna lie when I first came across this site I was mildly skeptical about whether or not I would receive my products purchased. Nevertheless I did receive them and they were in great condition! Hardly a dent or scratch on them.
No issues with the order whatsoever — happy with results and would recommend
Shopping is easy and there are usually plenty of choices, even for obscure titles
Quick and easy book shopping with lots of options
I was very good. I wish that it sometimes takes a long time to get the books. Overall a good experience.
Love you guys! Selection, price, checkout. Wonderful.
I wish for combined shipping, but still love ya.
Love to shop for books here, always good service and trustworthy.
Easy check out and you had the book I was looking for at a reasonable price
Good books but the shipping gets you. So the low prices on books kinda goes out the window with the shipping.

Not only do you get that book you've been looking for, you get an opportunity to do good, by purchasing through sellers such as a Goodwill store.

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.
