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.

Easy to find the book I wanted, no password required.
Easy to find the books I was looking for, and they were all here for such great prices I bought them all! Thank you
Very frustating trying to flip back/forth from cart to shopping. It would be helpful if cart mentioned # of items and subtotal cost without having to switch screens.
The site is easy to cruise through and find items.
Great price for a very good condition used book. Easy to fill in credit card data and name and address.
Excellent & price is reasonable compared to others!
Found my book, got a coupon, paid, all in less than 2 minutes!
Had to reset my password, when I logged in, the 4 books I had chosen were no longer in my cart. Couldn't remember 2 of them. Oh well. FANTASTIC book prices, shipping is double the cost of the books.
If all comes correctly. I will be buying all my books from here.
Relatively easy to see what I want, and then purchase.
Cant access my order, customer service was not helpful
The process for placing an order (and changing the delivery address) was quick and the website is easy to navigate!
Good to see that I can still get a book at this site... It has been about 30 years since I bought a book from you. Will be back!
Finding the item I wanted was easy. Checking out was easy. Looking forward to getting my DVD!
I almost always find what I'm looking for and check out is quick and easy. Thanks.
I love shopping Alibris. I usually find what I'm looking for. Thanks!
I would have liked my shopping cart to not empty when I went through the sign-in and forgotten password loops.
Getting logged in and changing my password and then not finding the items I was interested in without searching all over and still not finding the original seller, well, it was a hassle. One of the original books I never found in the condition I wanted.
I love the fact that i can find a wide viariety of books in French
It's great when I find an obscure recipe book here.
I really like the description of the book Condition.
Glad you had these titles. Hope they arrive as stated.
Quick but i sure don't appreciate your exigence and insistance on further engagement know that I have actually purchased the book and giving you my credit card information.
Could certainly do without that.
Excessive shipping costs, more than the cost of the books ordered
I love Alibris - I can support small and used book stores and am able to find everything I look for!
Reliable and excellent source of new and used books - thank you!
Easy site to navigate, prompt delivery
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.
