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.

Ordering was easy and book arrived in good condition in a timely manner
Checking out is a pain... and so is getting through this menu.
I have used Alibris for decades. Excellent prices. Always happy with the accuracy of item descriptions.
Great ordering process! Cheaper than Walmart and Amazon. They have $35 min
I ordered a current best seller that is hard to find and it came very promptly. It was also priced very inexpensively. However, the book is a fairly large book and some of the pages were slightly bent.
Perfect. As ordered and this is filler to finish this survey.
Easy as always and I was able to coordinate shipping from a single dealer.
I'm very satisfied with this vendor and will use them again.
Easy to buy. Books were easy to find. Looking forward to getting the product.
Fine. I am pleased with this order, okay. Thank you very much.
Good prices, good selection, simple checkout. Just what i was looking for
Quick easy Had what I was looking for. Anxious to receive product!
Great service. The availability of many choices for the same title is a plus. I have never been disappointed in a previous purchase.
Entered coupon automatically, thank you.
I went to the site looking for books by an author named Kien Nguyen. He wrote a phenomenal book called The Unwanted about his life in Vietnam during the war. His mother was Vietnamese and his father was an American soldier. I liked it so much I vowed to read anything written by him. I found his other two books easily and at great prices and couldn't be happier.
I enjoyed searching for certain books I've wanted, and finding them at great prices, although I have received many emails about receiving up to $20 off, and having to spend $135 is WAY TOO MUCH! I also was supposed to receive a $5 off coupon in my email, yet never received it, and I DID check my spam.
As above. See what I already wrote. Too many characters. This is insane.
Very satisfied; why do I have to enter 50 characters? I was satisfied. Isn't that enough?
Excellent -- the best service for over-seas orders! Bar none!
5 STARS, QIICK, EASY, ACCURATE -- BEST OVERSEAS RATES
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.
