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.

Hi, you sent me a$15 coupon but it didn't apply on my order?
Back-and-forth juggling between finding/selecting books was tricky. There appeared to be no option for adding books once I got to the "Order" page.
Alibris is the best. Great selection, excellent service, reasonably priced, and best of all, your $ goes to indie booksellers, not to Bezos, et al.
The site provides the information I need and nothing more.
I like the variety of prices. I think I got a bargain.
The multiple purchase options and value are great.
Quick view of all book types offered and their prices. As a devourer of books on e again in my life, I appreciate that so I can look for my next few.
I love to buy books in Alibris I can find new hard cover and the ones that are used they are always in good condition they are also mail very fast.
Good Price, easy ordering. However, I shouldn't have to agree to have my comments made public in order to place my order. That is why I gave 3 stars only. Prior to getting to this requirement I had given 5 stars and a most likely recommendation.
I found what I was looking for immediately and checkout was a breeze!
Found multiple selections for all of the titles I researched.
Easy to find a book at a relatively close book seller.
Seems pretty good! I like the idea of recycling books once they have been read.
A great concept in todays economy. Thanks!
I've always had great experiences shopping on AliBris and with the quality of the books that I receive. I've been able to find difficult to purchase books, and I enjoy this site very much.
I love Alibris - my go-to for online book orders, great alternative to evil Amazon!
Fast, Easy, and Fun. Always find what I'm looking for, and the used books are in excellent condition. Keep up the great work!
Lot of trouble trying to log in and changing pass word. Almost gave up. And your freight-shipping IS EXTREMELY TO HIGH. Way to HIGH.
You folks always do a great job. Thank you...Mary B.
First time ordering. Easy, convenient and had the book in stock
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.
