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.

Quick search, found what I was hoping to find in seconds. Check out a breeze. Thanks so much!
Very easy to use. All of the info i was looking for was there.
Excellent! And so much better than the large retails whom shall not be named.
The website listing of products available was clear. The process of placing my order was clear. I appreciate your making my purchase as easy as possible.
Pretty good, but not enough selections with the free shipping option
I liked the coupons, the many choices, and the ability for expedited shipping as I will be seeing the Author on Saturday and want to get it signed. Website is easy to navigate and lightening fast.
Quick, simple to use, exceptional price! Thank you!

I typed in all my info to log in - It didnt recognize my info so I attempted to put a new pass word - It couldnt send the email to my email address - SO I tried another email and that wouldnt be accepted - I gave up - and cam back —- but it has been FRUSTRATING
Alibris has a lot of books I can't find anywhere else.
Quickly found the book and the audio CD.
The price was low.
The site was easy to navigate.
You useally have what I want. And your vendors tend to Under Grade (by comic collector's Standareds) so they are in better shape than the grade.
I couldn't process with my master card. I contacted you through e-mail but wouldn't get reply for a day or so. I wanted to take advantage of a coupon which expirers today. I had to use my other credit card. It took me quite few hours to finally order the book.
Easy to navigate. Just wish I could see shipping costs upfront.
Quick, easy no problems. Very easy site to do business with.
Easy to find the books I needed - and the total price was lower than Amazon's.
It is telling that the lower the book price, the higher the shipping price.
Alibris is the best place to find older books of interest to my husband.
We are so appreciative of this used books offering.
So easy to access and shop.
Finding what I want from one source is important for me.
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.
