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.

Very nice, so far, so good.i just placed the order... I like the PayPal option...
Very good shopping experience in requesting and ordering this book.
The shipping/checkout was squirrely. Did not appreciate getting the run around on it. Made my alert hairs stand up.
Found a movie we have been looking for years. This is hands down the best place to buy media!
Anything you want anytime you want it!
Love being able to search items, see options and especially knowing I am supporting local businesses!
Good service... vendors are quick to answer questions.
Easy shopping experience. Shipping costs are very high. I would shop here more but the shipping costs are prohibitive.
Easy and almost everything I look for is available here at greatly reduced prices!
Free shipping too difficult to accomplish, but nice selection of books available
I'm giving three stars because the second to last book I bought was not in the condition described. I received a message to contact you but was unable to reach a live person
Excellent prices and selection, easy shopping fast shipping
Everything is good, except the shipping seems high, so I do not as much as I desire. But there is always next month.
I haven't used alibri since I was back in college again, and it was easy to pick right back up again
I would like the filters to be more prominent. I had a hard time finding where to choose the quality filter.
I wish I could save separate billing and shipping addresses.
Choices lined up side by side with prices easily viewed made choosing easy.
Quite straightforward and simple. Really appreciated that.
Site is well organized and search function easy to use. Found exactly what I wanted and completed purchase quickly.
I have used Alibris for years. Great prices on used books. Condition is always as described and items are always shipped promptly.
I love Alibris! I can find almost any book I want at very reasonable prices.
Quick and easy. Fingers crossed I get the book on time
Found the book I wanted in the format I wanted at a decent price.
Great selection of often hard to find books for my personal collection.
Found some books of interest not readily available elsewhere.
I am glad I found your website. The prices are reasonable and the monies go to a good cause. I plan on making this my "go to" website
I like that you showed the shipping costs before asking for payment information, thank you!
Have used Alibris for over 25 years for 99% of book purchases. An added bonus for me would be treasures (personal notes on pages, highlighted areas, and sometimes knowing who owned the book prior) I will always check Alibris first.
Love convenience, selection and price. Been using for 15 years.
The site is easy to navigate, the information is clear and straightforward, and the price is a very good deal on the book that I need.
Website is easy to navigate and straightforward
It's easy to negotiate the website. Prices are very good.
It's always great, love Alibris. The only thing I wish for is to be able to order several books and send them to different addresses. If I want to buy something for myself and a gift for someone else it means a separate transaction. No biggie, just letting you know.
Easy to navigate, easy to order. Love that I can add shipping addresses for my friends.
Easy to navigate, excellent info about each book, love it!
Alibris is fast, clear, and easy to use. I love y'all!
Easy and comprehensive, I love Alibris!
Dealing with Alibris is always pleasant. Never had an issue with the tons of books I've bought.
Was looking for a faster delivery time. It would also be really nice not to be forced to post feedback publicly.
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.
