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.

Any book you want to find, use Alibris! User friendly site and awesome prices!
Completely satisfied with selection, pricing and service.
Found the book I wanted and the price was great. Easy purchasing transaction.
I avoid buying books from Amazon, because they want to tell publishers what to publish according to their sales algorithms. So I buy books from Alibris. It is rare that I cannot find a book I'm looking for, and I love having options for new or used and for which seller shipping from where. Books arrive well packaged, and if they take a few extra days over Amazon, I don't care. The one time I needed customer service, it was prompt and helpful. I tell everyone: if you don't have a local bookstore to support, support the independent sellers on Alibris!
Shopping with Alibris is easy, user friendly. I like knowing the condition of used books before I buy them.
Came quick. Just like the picture & description. Way more affordable than all the other sites I've tried to purchase this book from
Easy and affordable, although the shipping costs are a bit high
Easy and clear site to use. I like the fact that the price is given in your own country's currency. Thank you.

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.
