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 good website ordering procedure, fast and easy
Too many prompts to sign up for newsletter & coupons
Had never heard of this website but its super easy to use and the deals are great! I will definitely buy from them again.
I love alibris. I love having a way to support small bookstores and even the goodwill! I wish shipping wasn't so much or there was an easier way to see if you could get two or more books from the same seller.
I would give a 5-star review if more of the books actually had a description.
Quick to find the book I wanted, quick to find one in condition worth buying, quick to checkout.
Found the book easily. Good list of vendors to choose from. Updated my user account from long ago, kudos for that. All good.
I get so many emails offering $$ discount "today only," yet any opportunity to enter a discount code must be very, very subtle because I never see it.
It was just easy and affordable - now lets see how easy it will be to download this e-book!
Good prices on books...shipping a little high but still less than other sellers.
The website is easy to navigate. Book selection is vast - always able to find what I need.
I was pleased to find a book that is currently listed as out of print.
Some shipping can be a bit long, but always worth the wait
Easy to find titles and learn about them. Responsive seller.
Your site has such a variety of items. I bought a book about canning and am excited to get it and start canning with new recipes
Love how it showed me different pricing and quality on the same book to make it easy for me to choose if I wanted a budget book or new book.
Excellent service, I've been a customer for over 15 years
Alibris is my favorite shopping center. It excellent! I'm a reader, I always find any book which I'm looking for. Thank you so much.
I needed multiple books of the same title and it was available. I am so ecstatic about my purchase. Can't wait to get my books!
So far very good. I'm waiting for my ebook order to arrive.
Have used your site for decades...your service has been & remains exceptional. Thank you!
Nice selection & quick, efficient service like always...
Always a pleasure to use your website
Very nice place to shop prices for a Bible maybe a little pricey but it was for a gift to a youth that needed it in church God bless you all and this world Amen
I was happy to find what I was looking for at a reasonable price.
Alibris makes it easy to shop. I wish the shipping information were available prior to check out.
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.
