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 have yet to have a bad experience with Alibris. If they have the book I seek, it's always in good shape, well packed and shipped quickly. Thanks!
Very helpful layout of pages and steps for browsing books and ordering.
It has always been a good experience ordering from Alibris. I've been doing business here for several years and no issues to report.
Excellent search options make this my go to site for book purchases.
Smooth and easy checkout. Excellent search results.
Alibris appears to have a specific book and then a couple more suggested books that I have found to be very good books for my personal library.
Coupon offers i don't trust therefore refused ultimately
I have used Alibris for years now. It is my best source for hard to find books in my particular field of study.
Most Items are described well and that helps a great deal when buying.
This Site has treated me very well as I have bought from them several times, and Shipping is always good.
You keep showing free shipping with $5.08 additional purchase. I chose from your list of books with free shipping, but it never applied the free shipping. That is very misleading and not fair.
Love it all. The books are like brand new and they arrived very fast.
Love the variety of books always available.
Significant defacing of the book with ownership paraphernalia found on the dust jacket back edge, both sides of the front endpaper, the title page, stamps on the front, top and bottom edges, etc.
I suppose the Texas State Technical Institute library must have anticipated this would be a highly desirable item given the steps they took to help identify their ownership. However, in this was the case, why did they ever give it up?
Found what I was looking for very easily and check out was a breeze!
When I went to reset my password on the account, it lost my cart contents and had to reselect everything.
The prices are good, I can get free shipping on 75% or more of my books, and they are always in the advertised condition if used.
Fantastic books at great prices! I am always happy with the condition of the books!
My order was.52 cents short to get free shipping. Frustrating!
I enjoyed looking throughout this Alibris website. I have been disappointed for years because I cannot find, the movie Infidelity with Kirstie Ailey and Lee Horsley. Do you know how I can find out is it in print? Thank you!
Show that the product offers free shipping but when I check out, it's no longer free. No thanks!
Found the book I wanted at the price I could afford!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
