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.

Why don't you have this book available as an ebook?
Areas to type on are very small & difficult to read.
Having just experienced a seemingly bait and switch technique from another book seller, I hope this sale goes better. Thank you
Very good nice selection and very professional like.
I think that I found what I wanted, but it would be helpful if every book description contained a synopsis.
Quick. Easy. And most affordable place to buy a new copy of the Greatest Lie on Earth by Edward Hendrie.
I like using alternatives to Amazon when possible and Alibris has always worked well for me
I love Alibris! Easy to find what I am looking for and a reminder about books I wanted that got away--so I can find another one!
I've been an Alibris shopper for a very long time. Rock on!
Really great selection, great pricing, buy down a star because there were a few things I wanted that were too expensive.
Very fast and affordable 10 out of 10 definitely shopping again
Ordered a book at a great price. Looking forward to receiving it, thanks!
There seemed to be some confusion on your end with acceptance of my address that I was asked to enter three times before it was accepted.
Fast and straight forward ordering process.
Please display shipping costs sooner/ more obvious
So easy to order and the book is the perfect Easter gift for my grandkids

Popped on to find a movie, took less than a minute

I frequently find the used movies I am looking for here
Found what I as was looking for at a great price
Can't tell why HPB, Inc is different than Half Price Books, Inc, and Half Price Books Diamond etc. Annoyed I have to pay shipping twice. Also wish I could send a gift card or acknowledgement with my order as it is a gift.
I would like to be able to do a search for topics in your 0.99 cent section.
I've never ordered from this company, but it was easy-to-use.
I liked being able to check out as a guest and being able to use PayPal.
It was VERY frustrating to figure out how to prevent the system from putting the shipping address for this order into the billing address. I don't recall ever having this problem before--has something changed?
Glad that you have such a great selection
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.
