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 had selected my books without logging in. Once I logged in the books I had selected were not in my cart and I had to reselect but at a higher price.:-(
Well, you had exactly what I wanted, and the checkout process is easy.
Absolutely pro seller. Shipped immediately, arrived quickly, condition exactly as described/expected (practically flawless and brand new)!
I have never been disappointed with my purchases. I've been using Alibris for many years.
My experience could not have been better. I quickly found the books I wanted. It was easy to order. My order was processed on the same day that I ordered it. I received it very quickly. I will absolutely be going back to And Thou Shalt Read again.
I found a book I've been wanting for a long time, Alibris had it, it was in great shape, and the price was very reasonable. I'll shop here again for sure.
Best website to find any book you want. Can get first editions, books from other countries, and more. It's awesome.
I have no complaints except a little inconvenience navigating the website at first when I had trouble getting into my account.
The website makes ordering books easy and I found all that I was looking for.
Books arrived, in great shape. Will order from Alibris again. Thanks.
Prices are great. We will have to wait and see if the quality is too.
I have had to reorder this book because you sent it to the wrong address! If the original book is returned please credit my account
Very easy to place order for great used books. Good price too.
I hate it when you automatically check a box to sign me up for emails. I just want to purchase an item, not to be bombarded constantly with unwanted messages.
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.
