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.

The shipping not showing up until the very very end was confusing and time consuming;, and I could not find an answer until going on reddit
Easy selection and great prices. Used before and always a good experience
Best prices in the game especially considering the quality on the books I've gotten. Definitely worth it.
Only con I've found is shipping for every single order unless you're can find a seller that has all your needs in there library.
Otherwise. This platform has been good to me
Was quick and easy to find the books I was searching for at great prices.
Found all the books I was looking for at great prices.
The billing address is incorrect and the site won't allow me to fix it
Great place to shop for quality and hard-to-find books. Alibris has been my go-to for at least 20 years.
Seamless service from search to ordering and delivery. Thank you!
Alibris has a great selection and fair prices for new and used, sometimes difficult-to-find, books and DVDs.
Another title was proposed that looked interesting but it said that it was available from about $50 but the only items listed were >$200. I attempted to sort by increasing price, but this didn't work. I'll try again later, but meanwhile read the first title when it arrives. The problem could well be the internet at this end, I don't know.
Fast and easy. I found what I wanted quickly and the price was good.
I have been very lucky with Alibris.
Price ranges and selections always work.

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.
