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 would love to add a note to books sent as gifts!
Love sending directly to my Granddaughter!
I think if you order movies from the same seller you should get a discounts on shipping. $4.99 for each item is expensive.
I'm very pleased with Alibris shopping. But could you encourage the booksellers to include at least the number of pages in their books, and maybe publication year, if not some description of content.?
Great service and selection. A lot of options to choose from.
Books are easy to find and it's easy to compare editions.
Very easy to locate book and compare the copies offered for sale. Checkout is simple and effortless.

Having just found out about this book, I thought I'd take a look to see if was available and affordable. At Alibris, it was both, so I ordered it, expecting a lengthy wait. But just a few days later it arrived in excellent condition. Very pleased.
Found exactly what I was looking for at a good price.
I'm sorry it was after hours! But very easy and convenient.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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 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.

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.
