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.

It was very easy to find what I was looking for and had a better price than other book sellers.
Quick and easy. Good prices and I appreciate the selection of titles
I like the ease of shopping with alibris. The prices are good too.
The site was easy to navigate and it was a simple affair to make my purchase and check out.
Very easy check-out experience. Best selection of books at different price levels. I also had an issue with the tracking number and this company was helpful and cleared all issues.
I will certainly shop here again.
The only thing thats annoyiong me about your site is that i have to fill in info like this. I would suggest you offer people the option of filling this out, because I'm happy to hit thenumber of stars but don't have time to do theos extra stuff. I wont do it again.
As usual, I went online, found the book I wanted, and ordered it.
I am so glad to find and support a real bookstore and not Amazon!
Can't beat the prices on used books and they usually arrive quicker than expected.
A fair price on a better than described book. Good transaction all around.
No issues to date. No further comments because I just placed my order.
Very pleased with the quality and condition of the book I purchased for what it cost.
Great selection to choose from. Quality suppliers. Don't appreciate exorbitant shipping charges.
Quick... easy... almost always have the titles I'm looking for.
Im not good with computors,so its not easy for me to do things in an orderly manner
Ok, first time using this site, if things go well will use again
Fine price for worthy book. Thanks for making knowledge available.
Overall great store, the only con I have is the shipping prices are very high. I only buy if I cannot find the product else where.
Alibis has always delivered great service, I have used it for many years. It is my go-to site for books and music.
Easy to order, always get good service.
Quick access, ease of navigation. Some ridiculously overpriced stuff, but also some bargains. Helps to know the rough value of what you're searching for.
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 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.
