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.

I'm a longtime Alibris customer and regularly recommend it. One feature I like is that the site shows the location of the seller, which is a factor in delivery time. I often choose the closest seller with the best price.
Easy to order.
I would like to be able to access if books to be ordered contain an index,size, weight, and if online availability. This site is easy to order from.
Love your site. Thank you 04/30/2024
Delighted to find the desired educational publications. I have also been satisfied with pervious products. THANK YOU
Very good experience. I Receive my product fast and in good condition with excelent
price.
Thank you, the website made it easy to purchase the book I was looking for.
Quick. Only place I could find the book and at a fair used-book price.
I would prefer overall pricing with shipping, not shipping added at checkout
95 % of the time you have what I need at a great price!
Best prices, selection and easiest ordering I've found!
Thank you for having this textbook at a price I can afford.
Perfect place to shop books because they pack the books perfectly so it will arrive like new. Quick delivery, as well. Lots of choices of books.
Quick and quick bookstore. I just want them to show some "see-through" of the book like what they do at Amazon. Other than that, Alibris is the best bookstore.
Had every book I was looking for at a very reasonable price.
Every step easy to follow with no trick links to add additional charges as is the case with other book distribution companies. Thank you for quick and easy service.
Very nice book shopping I was well pleased with the books and the delivery and the correspondence thank you so much keep up the good business
Easy to add and subtract from cart and wishlist. However a new copy of this book was promised with "eligible for free shipping" but apparently I'm missing how to get that as it wasn't in the cart; instead 4.99 shipping was charged. So I got a used book instead this time.
Nice to find a new copy at a great price!
For harder-to-find books, I always go to Alibris. It's a trusted resource.
I'm very pleased with the condition of the book and enjoying my read. It arrived within a week.?
Prices have been better than used Amazon and quality has been good. I've bought music and books and been pleased.
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.
