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.

Smooth and easy, but it never remembers my account info and I have to re-enter every time

I bought an ebook rental and it has not appeared in my library though it says it has bee activated.
Why isn't publication date given on listing? Why can't I ask Seller a question before completing order?
Enjoy buying my favorite books for a reduced price.
I ordered a book, the order was accepted. A day later my order was canceled and a more expensive copy of the book was placed in my cart. No coupon was offered to me for the inconvenience and added expense.
Thank you for offering these bilingual books. Easy to order.
$5 shipping on a $1.50 book? Are you out of your ever-loving mind? Who do you work for the Biden administration or something?
I mean on a scale from 1-10 easily a meager 0.
Glad to have found this book at a reasonable price!
You say "free shipping" for the truck icon, but it's not super clear which ones qualify and which don't. Couldn't find the icon easily.
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.
