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.

I have read Cheyne Curry's work online and thought this book might be interesting.
Shipping is expensive and I have to weigh the book cost savings, time and shipping to decide.
The shopping experience was worth it as I was able to find the book at a reasonable price with a good shipping process!
You screwed up. After I ordered, you told me the book was not available. When I found a replacement, I could no longer use the discount code.
At times, it can be difficult to actually get the copy into the order.
Good experience. Alibris had all the books I was looking for. One book order was canceled, but I found another Alibris dealer who filled the order, so it was good. Thank you!
That was fast! I found the book at a reasonable price and the shipping costs were reasonable. I live outside the US but my mailing address is stateside. I did not want the book shipped from overseas, then shipped back overseas, especially as that might involve duties.
I ordered some stuff and it came. Big whup.xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxc xxxxxxxc
I ordered a used book, the price & condition of which varied greatly from different sellers, Alibris had the best of both, & the book shipped in a timely fashion. Couldn't ask for more!
The books arrived on time and were exactly as advertised. The prices were also better than Amazon's.
My shopping experience was wonderful until I got hit with this stupid survey
It was quick and efficient and the instructions were clear!
I found exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price and received it in a timely manner.
Quality is good, but there were glitches in accessing account & in e-delivery.
So glad you found this book. It's a reprint of a book that's over 100 years old.
As usual, easy to search and find what I wanted. Good prices also!
Thank you for having all the books I want at a discount price!
You guys are wonderful! I appreciate your quick shipping and quality of books; especially the antequarian ones.
Excellent service and friendly seller. Large variety of books and low prices and friendly seller.
It's great to have an alternative to the billionaire's bookstore. Thanks!
Even though I didn't qualify for free shipping, I am glad to be doing business with you!
They have always done a good job. I wish I sometimes needed books when they issue coupons but oh well.
Still working on maneuvering the website but otherwise a good experience
Alibris had the best price on a book that is not so easy to find.
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.
