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.

A very positive transaction...I received the books I wanted and didn't have to pay full price of a brand new book!
Very difficult to correct my e mail address also difficult to cirrect my Visa data, But I did get it done
Easy to order and everything I have looked for so far has been available for a good price.
Was happy to find a book that I was looking for at half price. Good selection af books and able to receive my order quickly.
Pretty efficient. I like the fact that you have PayPal.
Got the movie I ordered fast and in good condition as promised
After losing a cart while I logged in yesterday, it was nice to see that the item reset over night for purchace today.
Fast! I was pleased with the shipping and price. I would shop again.
I had to get a textbook short notice and luckily this store had physical books at cheaper prices. It took too long to arrive, went over the estimated delivery date by 3 days.
I always find what i'm looking for, and it's always cheap and in great condition
I love the site but have constant problems changing the shopping cart on my smart phone
I am a long time customer... I only have good things to say.
It's easy and quick to search and find what you want. The choices are clearly indicated. A pleasant shopping experience.
The Alibris site is very easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. I also appreciate the discount coupon, that come in emails.
I do not like saving card details (and that was the only option offered). Otherwise, the experience was fine
Thanks for an easy ordering experience and a great price for an audio CD
I thought the price advertised on Bookfinder.com included shipping - but that's OK
The checkout is really simple and intuitive. Thanks!
Shipping is ridiculous. I had to put the majority of my selections into the wishlist category.
It's fantastic—but I'd love alternate payment systems like Apple pay

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.
