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.

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.
Had to try twice as a guest. Hope that is not indicative of your service.

Found what I wanted quickly and with a choice of quality and prices.
Easy search and great selection made the purchase a pleasure. Thank you
Even with shipping costs, always a better deal than with Amazon Prime.
Easy to navigate and found what I was looking for without having to search
My go to spot for great book shopping always when looking for a great selection
You've lost my prior 'sign-in' info, so I had to create new info asn an guest.
I hope that my order comes soon, thank you very much. God bless you
I needed the book; I found the book. The price was decent, and I got it new, not used.
I wanted a book from Alibris, I ordered it, and I got it. All was fine and I moved on. The issue is being hassled for a survey a month after I placed my order for a cookbook from 1997. This level of monitoring isn't necessary; I got the book. Thanks. Please leave me alone.
Alibris is always a welcome stop for book shopping. Books remembered fondly reappear there, and the selection is usually carefully curated and honestly reported.
Always find a book, reasonable price, reasonable shipping!
I haven't seen Masada since it's original airing in the '80s I wanted to see it for a long time tried to purchase it about 5 or 6 years ago and the price was just too high recently I tried again and the price was reasonable and it arrived in a timely fashion
Searching and ordering is simple and Alibris often has better prices and equal service compared to that other "A" book store.
Good so far! Found the book I was looking for, at the best price I could find.
Books are usually in very good condition. And I am usually very happy with my purchases.
I can find odd books at a reasonable price. The quality is usually better than I expect.
You should enforce quality control to avoid distributing books that contain editing and factual errors.
Fast, easy and most importantly, cheap. If I had known I had to write more I wouldn't have ever responded at all. I HATE this!
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.
