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.

Easy website to navigate and select book... and easy checkout.
I never seem to have the coupons when I want to order! Maybe make them last longer?
Excellent, found the book i needed and it arrived on time for class
I wanted to order three books by the Scottish writer Phillip Miller. They are not readily available in the States, so looking online I was able to find them through Alibris. I have had very satisfactory experience ordering from Alibris before, so I trusted them with my order, and I was not disappointed.
Great source for books! Hard to find books can be found here and always reliable
Great Book Prices! Great Book Selections! Quick Shipping!
Easy to find exactly what I was looking for. Good prices and good descriptions of the used books
I have Always experienced the best service with Alibris. Will continue to purchase your materials.
Always easy access, great selections, good range of price choices. Even your used books are in good standard
Have purchased from this store in the past. Their service is great and I love being able to find bargains and especially finding books that are out of print.
I always buy my books for me and others from Alibris! Save so much!
Alibris is my first book shopping stop. Save money for great reads! Teamed up with freeshipping.com is the best!:-)
The selection and savings are great! It was faster than other websites. This should be your first stop for textbooks!
Just great to be able to find my book! Placing the order was easy so all well.
I will come back to you for other books!
I'm always impressed by the selection and pricing on the site. Many titles are significantly more affordable than elsewhere, making it a fantastic spot for bargain hunters like myself. The shipping speed was also excellent. My order arrived much sooner than expected, which was a pleasant surprise. However, the shipping fees felt disproportionately high compared to the savings on the books themselves. It slightly dampened the overall value, especially for smaller orders. If the site could offer more competitive shipping rates or bundle discounts, it would be an unbeatable destination for me personally.
Alibris always has the books I am looking for with quick deliveries. I generally select used books because they are in good shape.
Received the book I purchased. It was no where near the 'Very Good' condition it was marketed as. Colors on cover were completely faded. Do bette.
Easy to search for desired title. Found just what I wanted. Thanks.
Great experience, I will be ordering additional products from you in the future...
It was fairly late and wasn't easy to track for me, but decent prices and I got the books I requested, so it's all good.
You are a great source of unusual or rare books. I've found many a unique book through this service and the sellers have always proved reliable.
I have ordered several used books recently to replace the ones chewed on by our young dog. They had good copies at fair prices and they ship quickly and reliably.
This book features a precolored picture on one page and a grayscale drawing of the image on the opposite page, allowing you to color it however you want. It is on heavy, slightly textured paper. It would be suitable for pencils, markers, or even watercolors. I am delighted with this purchase and look forward to trying it out soon.
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.
