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 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.
Fast and effiecient.Alibris had to csncel first order.But let me know they had anither copy from another seller to meet my need.
I bought a cd in good condition and when received, even in the ticket, it appears acceptable conditions.
Box broken, cd with some scratches.
Alibris has an easy to navigate website. Very useful information is provided regarding the details for used books.
Love, Love, Love Alibris! I will recommend this site to anyone who loves to read.
Love this retailer! I will be back again and again. Great source for new books and old favorites. I'm going to look for old music favorites.
Easy to use and had books priced cheaper than the other sites recommended to me.
The books I wanted were there, easily found and fairly priced, then quickly shipped
Always a good experience in finding what I want and ordering them
Easy and fast experience. Will shop again. Ten out of ten stars.
I ordered these for my granddaughters college and they are always in good shape.
These were for my granddaughter's college, she says everything she has gotten has always been in good shape.
Cart doesn't update on the home page --after I have chosen 5 items, it still shows 0. That is confusing. Also, when I tried to pay with PayPal, only the amount for the books showed up, not the total with shipping and tax. I had to put in my credit card. Unnecessary steps.
Always wary of online unknowns. This was exactly what I was searching for at a really great price. Looking forward to receiving it and doing future business with you if all your prices are this reasonable.
I have had to reorder this cd, because you sent the other to a decade old address, even though I changed that information...
I found my book easily and at the best price after comparison.
Best price for item on internet. Reliable shipping in the past.
The book descriptions and ordering process are simple and straightforward.
The first 75 pages of the book had extensive underlining. Some sentences marked up so much that they were nearly illegible. About 80 pages had been crushed in the corner so they were wrinkled. The previous owner had left some personal photographs between two of the pages.
Very easy to use your site. I wish that it featured the "look inside" feature that Amazon provides.
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.
