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.

The best selection and the best web site. I don't have 50 words; this should say it all.
It is cool, I just think the shipping is a little high; besides that I'm liking so far, nice selections!
It was easy to find the book I wanted and complete the purchase.
Quick and easy! Good prices for the products. I will shop here first next time.
My shopping experience is always good on Alibris. I love the various options given from different sellers and my books always come shipped in good quality.
It has been great ordering my books from Alibris; I wish I heard about this site sooner! Even the shipping is a fair price on all books
Smooth sailing so far. Now to sit back and wait for my book. :)
Took a long time for the book to arrive. I thought it might have gotten lost in the mail. The book was in great condition except for a crease on the front cover. Not really important. The important thing was receiving the book. Thank you so much for looking into it for me and for following up my question about the book's delivery.
I received my order within days of placing it at the recommended site. The book was in excellent condition…better than I expected.
I had never used Alibris before. I like it and recommend it as an alternative to Amazon.
This book arrived on time and in better shape than advertised. I was very pleased with this seller and if the opportunity arises I will buy from them again.
This website has, in terms of media and books, pretty much everything I'm looking for. This is where I turn when I can't buy local.
Very easy to search and find exactly what I wanted! And at very affordable prices
As a former bookstore owner, I used Alibris to help people find books that I didn't have. As a grad student, Alibris is one of my go-tos for the variety of books and texts that I have purchased in the last six years.
My note to the seller asking if I could purchase their two copies of this book for one shipping fee was not responded to, so I ended up purchasing just the one copy.
Great shopping experience. Gives details about the item offered.
The store had what I was looking for and it was easy to check out
The product was as described, was at a fair price and was delivered on time.
Nice price on books - but shipping was almost as much. It would be nice to have shipping deals
I really like Alibris for getting books that I discover that are older.
I LOVE Alibris! Your prices and service have been very good.
Thanks!
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.
