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.

Very great experience shopping with this site. I will be back! If everything goes smoothly from here out ;)
Love the ease of finding hard to locate books. Dog ate my daughters book she borrowed from teacher. It was dated in the 60's and part of a teachers set. Found it here, teacher never knew til last day of school ( high school) teacher said was always an excuse and they laughed. She wanted to know where I found it.
I love the prices! If these turn out be great quality, I'll never use Amazon again!
They had a wide range of books at great prices and they delivered quickly. Great folk.
Found the book. Easy to use site. Glad for PayPal option. I was not able to find this book elsewhere. Will go back to Alibris. Found the book at Alibris on a search.
Found the book. Easy to use site. Glad for PayPal option.
It was easy to find what I wanted and easy to order.
I wish there was an easier way to identify sellers I'm already buying from and highlighting the books I'm looking for that they have to save shipping. Maybe your optimizer does that and there just wasn't a better solution this time. Did love how the optimizer saved me a bit AND got me a new copy instead of used!
I struggled with your website. I needed to change my password and followed the instructions. I was told I had successfully updated it, but when I tried to log in, was told my password and e-mail didn't match. Then I couldn't get several of the buttons to work at all, but acknowledge that that may have been a problem with my computer rather than your site. I became frustrated with having problem after problem trying to order a book. Also, I understand that mail is often delayed lately, but it would have been helpful if I'd been given SOME idea of how long it might take for the book to arrive. I need it for my book club and will have thrown my money down the drain if it arrives too late
I love this website! Its easy to navigate and I almost ALWAYS find whatever I'm looking for, no matter how obscure it may seem
Alibris has always provides a super alternative in buying used books in Good-Excellent condition. Thank You!
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.
