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.

Been disappointed. The books are always in good shape and
Always delivered when they say they will be. Very satisfied.
I found what I needed pretty quickly and at a good price. I prefer not to support mega corporations.
I was confused about the shipping charge. Because my ordered totaled more than the $39.00 of qualifying books I thought the shipping charge would be free, but it showed $20. When I eventually placed the order it reduced the shipping charge to $4.99. I wanted to see the final shipping charge when I first viewed the order. I didn't see the shipping charge until right before I placed the order.
Quick and easy! My order always arrives. I have had no problems.
Seller responded to me quickly - twice!
I always order from Alibris. Even if the book is out of print, I can find it on Alibris! The price is always right.
I purchased a hard to find cd but I was treated quite well by the seller!🙂
Other online sellers were charging entirely TOO much for the same cd...I think sometimes people will refer to sellers like that as "scalpers" which is not a compliment but at the same time you call a spade a spade
Whenever I purchase something from a seller on Alibris I am ALWAYS treated kindly on the price and the service is OUTSTANDING!Thanks again! A+ 👍👍
I wish shipping costs were combined since most of my purchase came from one shipper but I basically had to pay the same shipping per book (slightly discounted for books 2+).
I received the product I ordered in the timeframe that I expected.
Lovely shopping experience. Lots of selections and availability.
I think I received the book, in advertised condition, in a reasonable time. Now, assuming I did receive it, I don't know where it is, probably in a stack of books on the floor.
Best prices I've found for books, the delivery is always fast, and the books are always in the exact condition described. Forever satisfied! I will be book shopping here for years!
You always have copies of this book for me to bless others with
You always have what I'm looking for. I have gifted this book to numerous friends and always come back to replenish my supply.
Extremely easy website to navigate! Excellent customer service when needed every time.
Easy to find book I was after and purchase it quickly. Very good.
Easy to navigate and easy to search & place orders.
Easy to place an order. Have ordered books through Alibris before also. Clear description of the textbook condition and shipping costs.
Found a book. Put it in cart.
Signed into account. Cart is empty.
Had to search for book again, and re-add to cart.
Only issue I had was that the Am Ex kept not working & all if the info is correct.
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.
