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.

Competitive pricing, user friendly website, and quick shipping. What a good deal!
Everything was good except for the shipping charges. Site was easy to negotiate. Book prices were good. Books received in the past were in good shape. Had hoped that ordering several books would decrease the shipping costs.
Quick ordering and the selections are numerous and various.
Found what I wanted and got a good price.
This site had both the books series I wanted and the one additional book I was looking for.
I had to delete my order because it looked like it was going to charge shipping...but I found out that it takes off the shipping when you enter your payment...I was pleased.
Easy site to navigate and easy site to select and pay! The price was better than any other site!
Easy to make an order, I always check this site for used books as it almost always has the book I am looking for. I like the fact that I have a wish list so I can come back to the site and order books that I've researched.
Alibris 5 stars for you, o.k.!
However another screen pop-ups overlay and says save the Visa Account to my
Google Account and one bubble button is highlighted but the screen shot is too low and one cannot see it the buttons is highlight on Yes or No so I just picked the opposite one, as most likely they would highlight Yes. But I could not see at all. So I do not know if Google saved my Visa Account # on their acct. Or not. I do not even know where or how to access my Google Acct.?
But they are guilty of fraud as I write, not letting me know what to choose, is financial FRAUD. Do you want to sue Google, you could, as a company for camping on your payment site, fyi!
5 Stars because I find what I am looking for with a reasonable price and easy check out, so Thanks.
The book looked pristine; the price was the best I could find anywhere online. Very satisfied!
I've had a pretty good experience and will continue to buy from Alibris.
Thank you for a great purchase experience. Always use this site.
Good and cheap n large inventory with rare stuff. Easy to use.
My last order went to my winter address because I forgot to change the shipping address. A bummer for me, but it will be waiting for me when I return south for the winter.
You always have great books, in great shape for less! Thanks!
I found this book on Alibris, then I ordered it, and finally it arrived in the mail! Fantastic. I didn;t even have to leave my house!
I enjoy your site very much. Every time I go on your side I can find the books that I would like to read you our grade at mailing out and I've never had a problem receiving any books.
Site was easy to navigate, and I found what I was looking for.
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.
