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.

Good variety of offerings that fit my interests — better than that of the competition!
Kept having problems with the order process, slow, but finally got the order placed
Easy checkout - Saving time with each order. Thanks for offering discounts and offering your products at a decent price.
Easy process. Clear instructions. Not many clicks. Looking forward to reading the book.
Using Alibris to find out of print or hard to find books is a must.
I've never been disappointed by Alibris. If it's available, they'll locate it! Very responsive if you have a problem.
I love searching through the oldies to find what I am searching for.;..
Thanks for the savings! This allowed me to buy more books! Combining the shipping was HUGE.
The wide selection is diverse so I can find a book and choose from among the titles offered.
Found the books and checked out easily and without issues. I was right.
Price is too high. I saw the same book sold for $29 without shipping charge in Amazon.ca
Easy to find the book I wanted by searching for the title. Easy to find a used copy in good condition and to purchase the book through the site (especially since I have an account with Alibris for faster checkout). The hard part was being patient enough to wait for the book to arrive! But that's what you get when things ship book-rate. It was good practice to let things move at a human pace and wait for my book to arrive in the mail!
Easy to find my title and see options for quality, shipping, etc.
Easy to find the book and excellent price from the seller...
This was the only copy i could afford. ITs paperback which is usually dubious, but I knew the seller was good, and it worked wonderfully
It was a good experience. Fast and easy. Was looking for this cookbook.
I wish there was an easier way to peruse the collection of one supplier, so as to minimize redundant shipping costs.
Lightning fast fulfillment! All items as described. Great selection, CHEAP prices. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
The book was fairly priced and in excellent condition.
I've been satisfied with the prices and quality of the books I've received.
I almost always find what I am looking for through Alibris, whether for book club, pleasure, work, or school. Prices are great delivery is almost as fast as Amazon. I shop for books exclusively at Alibris and my local independent book store.
Lets wait until I receive the book. Seems to have what I wanted. At a reason able price. Shipping is a little too much.
I was looking forward to read this book for a long time and finally found it.
Good job it was sent on time and in very good condition. I will use your service again and let my friends know too.
Everytime I have used Alibris. I have had no problems. My order has arrived when expected and I would recommend this company to anyone. Thanks for great service.
This is not my first order via Alibris and I am always happy with the condition of the books, speed of delivery and problem free experience. Highly recommend!
Search works reasonably well, shipping could be a little less.expensive.
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 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.
