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.

Shopping ordering easy now wait and see if delivery is fast. TY
I'm very pleased and grateful for Alibris with the selection of books I made, their condition and their prices…thank you
Your minimum requirement of $50 is too high. I'm on SSI and funds are very limited to pay full shipping prices
Alibris is terrific and is my first source for hard to find books!
Straight forward with information available as needed.
Clear info about editions, condition of book, shipping cost, etc. Great!
Shipping options were not available. I don't know if I got tracking or not.
I'm thrilled with Alibris' efficient expedient highly professional service & great prices! Now I know where to purchase my books! Alibris is the best! Thank you! 😀
I would like to see the ability to search for a wider variety of subjects, instead of by author or ISBN.
Order was just as described; it arrived on time and as expected.
Fast, excellent service.I've shopped here often
It was satisfying, will be using Alibris again in future orders
I found what I was looking for -- and at a good price!
Very good prices and helpful to decrease shipping rates.
I have never had any issues at all! Love it! I will continue to order/shop with Alibris.
Very easy to check out as a guest. I just love that. The price is very competitive, the book is as described. I am very pleased!
I always find what I want at a good price here. It is my first shop for buying books.
Always a great price, and I can count on one hand the number of times you've not had what I wanted. This after decades!
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.
