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.

It works for me is good. I don't ai need fifty words of BS for your customers to laugh at. I bought. I said great Enough said
I was able to find copies of old books not available elsewhere, and also recent books in good condition but cheaper than new. The search feature works well and check out is simple.
Alibris helped me easily find and purchase a particular book for which I was looking, in the condition I wanted, and at the best price I could find for that book in that condition.
Very fast delivery! Very pleased! Highly recommended Seller! A+++++++
They always have what I'm looking for at a cheaper price than elsewhere!
I have just received an e-mail asking if I had received a recent order. I just replied that I had received the order but really did not know for sure what it was. The order was identified by a number and it would have been much better if the title had been given. I order many books. But I am very much satisfied with the service.
Great assortment of hard to find books. What else can I say? Alibris is my number one go to place to find out of print and rare books at a great price
I had to remove an item when I realized that it was from Indoo. I had a bad experience with that vendor several years ago, and still haven't forgotten it.
Mostly fine. Some issue forced me to enter my new card details two times. The order is complete now.
Very reasonable prices and a fine collection of titles to choose.
Super quick results and got exactly what I was looking for! Thank you
So happy to find what I was looking for! Also love the choices available for each author. Thank you for the amazing service you provide.
Very simple to navigate and quick to purchase - which is exactly what I needed today. Thank you & Mahalo
Excellent service. I've always purchased book using Alibris. They offer rare and very good books. I highly recommend it to everybody.
I am so happy I can find this new book yet at a reasonable price. We live only about 10 miles from where this occurred. Thank You
I just ordered a replacement book for one I had ordered by John Grisham. I'm confused about the billing. Will the amount be included in the other 2 books I have already ordered?
I got my used book for $35. Initially I was scared that my book's water damage, as described, was going to be horrible but in reality, the book looks good as new!
I was given a 5.00 discount code but I could not use it as there was no place to put a discount code.
Alibris is my go-to when I'm looking for a book to buy. They ship quickly and the description of their condition is always accurate.
I got the book on time and it was in good shape. I continue to be satisfied with Alibris
Clean covers and page edges, and a fairly tight binding. However, I personally would not have marketed the book as "new" with the first 45 pages full of orange highlighting.
THE GREATEST

Order Details
It is not easy to find books in English where I live and Alibis saved the day. I found all the titles I was looking for and received all the books in perfect condition. I will shop again.
I like the trackable shipping option. Option of PayPal is convenient, too. Might have been nice to know the impact of tariffs had the book been shipped from EU or Canada.
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.
