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.

Several days later I was notified that the book I've been waiting for is not available. The book is for a book club. The new book is more money. I will see if I receive this copy.
Easy website! I like the choice of formats available for each title.
Dropdown list shopping is great for books.
Fast, easy, and affordable! The website was easy to navigate.
I have always had excellent service and quick turnaround ordering from Alibris.
I should have saved my Alibris coupons today!
This was a spur of the moment purchase.
One book seller sent me an email that my book was shipped and one seller took 2 weeks to send it and never let me know it was shipped. Sent emails asking where was my book and never got a response. But the book did eventually showed up.
Your website is badly designed and hard to use on numerous fronts.
Thank you ๐ this is great ๐ love this store wish there was and app thou but it's all good. ๐
Easy to search the website. Good prices. Easy to place order.
Great prices, huge selection of books. Always have service!
It showed 2 options for shipping one with tracking and one without, then in the checkout page it only showed one option I hope it is with tracking as that's the choice I would have picked.
Great prices. Large selection.Many current books available.
Had to save for later some other books because shipping was greater than the book price itself. So, I would recommend Alibris to show the customer same seller for the different books the customer is searching.
So easy to find exactly what I was searching for.
My mom was looking for a specific book. I found it on your site for the right price. Ordered it & it arrived to her house super fast. Thank you!
The vendor provided a high quality service providing a book as described with a competitive price. I would certainly consider purchasing from them again.
Very pleased with my experience with this company. Will do business again.
Fast and easy! Found what I was looking for and was impressed with the prices.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.
Answer: Hi Dennis, That depends on where the seller is located and where your deliver address is as well. Generally, shipments within the States are delivered within a week or so, though holiday shipping might slow down a bit. If you send us the details with your order number in an email to [email protected] we can look into the specifics for you. Thank you for writing. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service
Answer: Hi Valerie, If you have had a problem with your Visa or PayPal transactions on our site, please let us know the details at [email protected] so that we can investigate for you. Thank you for your question. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service
Answer: HI Zoila, Delivery timeframes within the States are usually between 3 and 8 days, but it depends on where the seller is that is shipping the item to you. If you have already placed an order, please contact us at [email protected] with your order details and we can investigate for you. Thank you for writing. Michael B. Alibris Customer Service
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.
