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.

Thank you for providing old books at a great price!
I saw this book referenced in a health video. I was curious but not enough to pay full price.
I was able to find the book I needed in the latest addition at a reasonable price.
Alibris has been one of my best friends for almost 40 years now. My love of books has been permanently embedded in my DNA from the minute I first held in my chubby children's hands My Book of Knowledge: Volume One. Whatever author, subject, title I'm lookng for, I find it on Alibris with great choices of conditions and prices. Perfect for me, a woman living on a retirement income. And it's to this wonderful treasure house of lovely and affordable books that I come when searching for a special gift for a special friend.
Best online bookseller ever... Great. Inventory, terrific prices.
Great shopping experience and awesome prices. Easy shopping
First time here. Was easy to find the books I wanted. I started a 35 book series and after 23 books read the local stores didn't have the rest. Did not want to buy new ones.
Service and delivery was perfect. Will be my "go to" place to get my books. Thank you so much.
Thankful that you have some pretty rare books.very blessed to be able to locate this book
Next time you send a request for feedback, consider adding the identity of the item you want feedback for. I had to go to your website and look up the order myself. Feedback shouldn't be a pain in the neck.
Everything went as one would hope. Which is why putting info into these boxes is aggravating because you can't skip this option. And I am very self important and I can never get those three minutes back. I have self important things to do. Me. Me. Me. Who has the time? Stop ruining my day with the non skip option. Survey site developers! I don't even have the time to pray for you and your non skip option. Know what twists my Speedo? Using five words or more on the non skip option. Who knows that many words. I don't have anything to say because I'm not one to be a dunderheaded blabbermouth. Short and sweet is my motto. Some folks just don't know when to shut up. Stop telling me your opinion. Am I right or am I right. You won't catch me doing that. And Texting. Oh, funky monkey circus! DON'T GET ME STARTED! Know those folks who text a novel instead of a time saving "Howdie Do?" Those people need to get jobs as writers. Is there a pit deep enough for the blabbertexters? My stars! That's one thing you won't catch me doing, using one word where two will suffice. Hear me now and listen to me later! This one time at Bandcamp I--- what? I'm running out of room? I only have so many characters left?! Well, that's censorship cause I aints done writin'. You ain't the boss of me. I tell you what, lets skip it. Okey Doke? Thanks. You're a winner.
Books can be shipped media mail and i feel like i was overcharged for shipping. Its ok tho because I probably wont order from you again
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.
