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 have ordered this particular book before from this website. It did not tell me that the order was canceled until 8 days into the process and I am still waiting for the refund to process to my card. As a college student, a $100 order needs to be refunded quicker or I need to be told that I won't have the book sooner, as I did not have the text required to complete my first assignments and quizzes.
Site easy to use. If product comes in time shown everything will be perfect.
I am not a fan of shopping in general, but I appreciate that you have books I want to read, at prices I don't mind paying.
I know I have ordered from Alibris before. I am hoping for prompt shipping.
I need the book as soon as possible. Thank you.
Great selection. Wish the search tab could capture more options as the first search attempt with the book name yielded no results. Took a few tries.
I hate paying more for shipping than I am for the books.
Easy to navigate and simple instructions. Excellent!
I was worried it would maybe steal info but I have yet to get anything saying it did and I needed this ebook for my physc class
Books I need affordably that come mostly efficiently. Only one mistaken book sent in a number of transactions over the years. And a great way to bypass the monolith of Amazon.
I use alibris consistently. They have only let me down once.
So convenient and easy to find exactly what I wanted!
Such a great site for locating the hardest-to-find books!
So easy to find the book I wanted and a wide variety of options as to the price, condition, format. Excellent.
So easy to find the book I want and choose the best price and shipping options.
So easy to find a range of available copies and choose the one that suits me best!
Hard to say for certain since I haven't received the book yet to know it's condition.
Easy checkout for the perfect book I was looking for! Thank you!
It's so straightforward and easy to order, and the options are endless!
Very efficient and user friendly. Alibris is the best online shopping experience with respect to books.
It seems i lost 4 books, put them in the cart and proceeded to look for other books of interest, when went to check, i no longer had the first 4.
I enjoy shopping with Alibris because you usually have all the books that I am looking for and the prices are reasonable. The shipping I find a little expensive but this is something you can't control so it is what it is. Would there be any chance of you including a postcard category? Best Regards,David Tremblay
So far. Everything has gone well! Order processed, quick service
Prices are the best, but packaging could be better. Website could also be more intuitive and easy to use.
So far I'm very pleased with my shopping experience.
I found what I needed and the interface was easy to navigate.
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.
