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.

Great selection and prices, reasonable shipping cost. Some sellers pack their books better than others, beware!
I got exactly what I wanted, in even better condition that I expected! I'm very happy with this seller.
Finding and ordering the books was a piece of cake, unfortunately shipping took longer than I was hoping. I know it said up to 16 days but I was truly hoping it would be faster.
Nice and easy; always get good selections; good conditions on books
Why can't you idiotic clowns change my account page to reflect my correct password?

I've had no problems with any aspect of alibris' services.
Alibris usually has the books I'm looking for at reasonable prices
I'd love to know why I don't get a break on shipping when I buy multiple books from the same store.
Easy search and checkout process without any snags or difficult processes
I love Alibris! It's great in and of itself and it's even greater to not support Amazon!
Came here from bookfinder, wanted a specific edition of an out of print book. It was great to find a nice ex-library copy.
I've dealt with Alibris is for years. They're very good with books I can't get in bookstores.
I am grateful to be able to find so readily things that are off the beaten path.
Whether it is literally the newest book released or a golden oldy from 60 years ago, Alibris always has it and gets it to me ASAP.
I love this bookseller site. Easy browsing. My son was the one who told me about it.
I'm a fairly new Alibris customer, but I'm already hooked. Great prices and product descriptions, and they ship quickly. I'll definitely be back.
I am pleased with your store and order options. It is a good website
Too bad shipping and taxes are higher than the cost of the book.
It is always very easy to find the specific book I am looking for.
Easy to find the item and to compare prices. Prices are very reasonable!
One shipping location for multiple items is difficult & time consuming. Makes a big difference in total price!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.

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.
