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.

Alibris has always shipped items faster than I expected, and so far I have always been satisfied with the quality of the books or dvds I have purchased.
Alibis is my go to for out of print books. They have been reliable for many years.
My go-to place for purchasing books. Stores and libraries did not have book.
My go to place for books I want to own.
Your site makes shopping so easy. The cookbook got here in record time. Thank you!
Thanks, ALL 3 OF MY KIDS ARE WILDLAND FIREFIGHTERS. JUST LIKE THEIR PARENTS. GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO WHITES BOOTS UP THERE FOR US! THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH CONSIDERED BABY 'S FIRST SHOES IN OUR FAMILY. WORKING OUT SO FAR!
I have a few old books I would like to trade off or sell you. They are in very good condition. How do I do this. Fred *******198 or email *******@yahoo.com
Only the Book Bunker has the military book I need for my research.
Love the variety of quality available; the online experience is very good. Would like to know in advance if different underlying vendors would charge different amounts for shipping. The shipping "estimate" in the cart makes me wonder about the total cost, especially on the low end.
Never any complaints with Alibris! Dependable and responsive.
Shipping is costly it is my first purchase and I did not received it yet
For used books you are great! Didn't know you also have music. Will have to check you out soon. Thanks bob
Pretty good; i was able to use an already set up account, which was helpful.
I bought the book but could not use it as it was not what I wanted. My Mistake
Alibris is the greatest clearinghouse for all manner of books.
Alibris has every book I want to read at costs that are very reasonable.
The order said free delivery then when I checked out it was not free. The website should not be confusing in a way where people do not pay for what price they were intending to pay for.
Excellent descriptions. Easy to order.The web sight is easy to navigate.
Awesome customer service and delivery! I switched from thrift books to you after troubles with their customer service.
I ditched thrift books and am happy to order from you instead! Thank you.
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.
