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've always been happy with orders from Alibris. I've ordered from this site for about 20 years.
I've bought many books through Alibris. I highly recomm3nd this site for finding rare books as well as current books.
I love this website but I'm not going to by a book where the shipping if five times the book price.
Wow! Shipping costs have jumped since I was here last!
There is concern on when this book will be received. I am hoping that it will arrive for a bday gift at end of month
Quick and convenient instructions and process.
Modest book prices available. My book selections were immediately prompted.
Thank you
I have loved this site for great margins for years 😁
I don't like having my information on the internet.
Need more reminders to "save" so if i go off page for some reason can come back and have my shopping art items saved.
It's the only place I shop for used books and have done so for years now.
Been using Alibris for years and never disappointed! Thank you
I really like getting books from Alibris, they almost always have just what I want a a great price.
Shopping is easy. I hope the books arrive at the proper destination. Twice before I have ordered books and they were sent to an address given for my previous order. I hope this time I correctly submitted the order and it will arrive at the correct address
It would be nice if shipping could be at the purchase level, not checkout. I know its difficult but flat rate might be better.
Also, please do not publish my review with my email address.
Easy to shop, good selection. Competitive with Amazon.
Easy to navigate with good security checks.
My overall experience was great because I am able to find the books that I need at an extremely affordable price. It's amazing
I love that I'm able to find all the books that I love in one place.

The book I bought became "no longer available" well after purchase. This is now attempt two, so lots of extra keystrokes and time of mine.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
