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.

When reviewing my order I didn't see the detail of hardcover on one of my books. I wanted to check but couldn't get back to the item to see if it was hardcover or not.
I also would have liked the option for a gift receipt when changing the delivery address to a grandchild's address.
Otherwise love this site!
Saw same item on Abe Books... Alibris had a coupon, they didn't! Saved 8 bucks (over 10%) with Alibris!
It's good, I like how it's set to give you many different price options for the same book
First time shopping here. Cheap prices and a great selection.
I once got the wrong book but it's fine bc my stepdad read it lol
I buy specific books from multiple platforms. Alibris is among the easiest and quickest.
Easy to navigate website. Everything laid out simply and clearly. All instructions easy to read and follow.
Wish there were more large print books available. Updating my payment information was frustrating - seemed as if there were some systems issues.

Easy to find books, good prices. Would like to see shipping reduced when you buy more than one book from a vendor.

Thanks for low prices, free shipping, and easy to find coupon codes.
I find the shipping cost for purchases of over 10 books at a time to be excessive. I totally get the shipping cost for one or two books, but when someone buys 30 books from one vendor they should not be charged $90 in shipping. Pretty ridiculous.
Easy to view selections of books on price and Shipping.
I feel you are charging too much for shipping. 2 books were bought from you and you charged about 4 dollar each. Thanx, parham
Book was damaged in post, but the issue was easily resolved with seller who sincerely appologized and provided a full refund. I am fully satisfied with my experience.
Great Prices, easy process and multiple payment options. The books were in excellent condition. Very satisfied customer
Great Prices, easy process and multiple payment options.
Found just the books I was looking for. Clear windows, all info right there. Quick and easy checkout.
Books are inexpensive but the shipping is quite high
I LOVE alibris. It is difficult to find where to put coupon code though
Alibris always has the books I'm looking for. Great prices, fast delivery, excellent transactions.
Would like any discounts for use of my account to hold over till next order and not expire right away.
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.
