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.

Accurate descriptions, good selection, fair pricing.
I received my order in a timely manner. The product was as described so great job.
Could be a simpler process / postage is higher than most places.
Book titles are easily found by name or ISBN number. Coupon codes are welcomed.
The books I wanted were available and check-out was easy.
My order #*******-2 qualified for free shipping but when I proceeded with my order the $4.99 shipping cost was not deducted.
Everything works great! No complaints. Site easy to use and loads quickly. No annoying pop ups-- I find what I want fast and great lay out.
Easy and hassle free. Great work. Don't change the layout-- much better than Amazon.
Great seller! They communicate with you and keep you in the loop.
Alibris is so easy, helps save money on orders. Alibris is my 'go to'.
I have never experienced anything less than excellence when I order from you.
I like that it's direct: enter the title, address, and click. No extra nonsense on the site.
Great books and great prices and they arrive in a timely fashion!
I'm just thrilled to be able to order this book at such a great price because I have a friend who was just diagnosed with congestive heart failure this morning.
So this book will go to her and if she is wise, she will believe what it says and allow herself to live a few years longer.
Quick, easy, books arrive quickly, and price is right
Super saving of time...I would pay 100% more for my purchases!
I love alibris and send many, many readers to you! May wealways have books!
The only thing that would help a little better, would be telling what each book is about.
Happy with book and price. Not happy with the sometimes circuitous routes taken by delivery services used by Alibris retailers.
Website is logical and easy to navigate, and prompts make for a quick seamless transaction. Thank you, Alibris.
Good selection and convenient transaction.
Book fetch found the book I was looking for and the check out process was quick and easy.
Alibris has high shipping charges, but I always compare their combined total price with the combined total prices of their competitors, sometimes Alibris offers a much greater value for otherwise identical books.
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.
