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.

Simple and efficient. Found and ordered a book without any trouble.
Always have what I'm looking for at a good price 😊
Easy access easy process praying the book is in good condition fingers crossed
I was trying, for the first time, to buy a 10 piece collection of a single author. I need a means to accomplish this in bulk for a single shipping fee. To pay triple the cost of the order for shipping is untenable. So I cancelled all but one book after wasting a hour gathering the order together.
I often order for my book club. I'd like to know if the seller has multiple copies of
the book I want so I can get the copies together at the same time.
I recommend Alibris to everyone I know! Great prices, easy to shop.
Alibris is the best. I tell everyone I know about it, I refer to it as 'my' used book site. Ha!
You make it so easy to purchase great books at great prices.
I have bought books for many years here and will continue to do so.
Ease with which I was able to locate the book I was searching for.
Came very quick and was in the condition that was described
Everything I have ever looked for is here and the shipping is fast! I always come here first before buying new
Have found lots of books I can't find on Amazon, usually in good condition for cheap, and even when it's more expensive, it's worth it if it's the only copy.
Quickly found exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price. This is my normal experience with Alibris.
I was very surprised to quickly find the item I wanted since it has long been out of print. The price was acceptable, as well as the expected delivery time. The book was well packaged and protected during shipment. It arrived on time and in the condition as described online. All of my expectations were met or exceeded… again… through Alibris.
I received my order in a timely matter. I enjoyed receiving my order at a good & fair price. Also in a timely matter!
I love shopping Alibris. Shipping costs might make me cringe but understandable if from different places.
Quick and easy. Just wish shipping wasn't more than the books.
I always receive my products in a timely fashion and in good condition
I always receive my products in a timely fashion and in good condition
Hi I was wondering could look the product I bought be delivered before the coming monday
Easy and quick to update info and get a card in. I like it!
Shipping rate was reasonable and you took PayPal. Easy to do busy with you.
Overall best online book seller I've found so far.
Good. Come on really. I got what ordered, let's not get carried away.
The only problem is that there seems no way to remove the information for a defunct credit card. I can add a new one, but how do delete the old one?
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.
