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 a coupon READ545 but there was no place to enter it. Now I'll get emails without the bonus. Frustrating.
Oh I see I had to spend $45 to use it. I feel tricked into signing up. Oh well par for the direction our country is taking. But you could do better.
It's nice that you can get most of the books on here cheaper than any other site. I wish everything was coming from one location so I wouldn't have to pay $4.99 for shipping on a $2 book and no shipping on a $30 book. It depends on where it's coming from which is different than other sites I've used. That being said I'd rather give them my money any day than soulless corporations like Amazon and Walmart that don't care about their workers

It's always easy to shop on your website and get the books I'm looking for!
I quickly found all the books I have on my list and have more to buy.
Quick and easy. Hoping for fast delivery. Pleased that all Reading Rumble books were available.
Gently used appears to be perfect condition no writing in the book. Will definitely use them again
I have never had any negative issues with Alibris. Every book I have ordered have been delivered.
Books were of the quality advertised, they arrived on time, and the tracking data was great.
I ordered a book from Alibris at a very decent price. The book I got was autographed! What a deal.
The process was painful. I clicked a link out of an email you sent me. I spent about an hour shopping the first time and was clicking back-and-forth on another browser to look up books I was interested in and see reviews. I had about 14 items in my cart and then they all disappeared. I tried again using my search history to try and remember which books I had selected. I lost quite a few because I did not actually look for reviews on all the books I put in my cart and then once again when I tried to log on and pay my cart was empty. In between these instances I found it very challenging. I'd add a book from my wishlist but the cart number did not change. I was back and forth. I almost gave up but there were a few books i really wanted. I wound up taking screenshots of the books I wanted. Opening up a fresh browser logging on re-entering the books from my wish list
One of my books, I ordered 3, took almost 3 weeks to get to me. Shipping/tracking was not super helpful either. The books were in great shape and as described. Wish I would have been told it would take 3 weeks to get 1 book.
Easy to shop for multiple books in one order; most sellers are very easy to communicate with.
Ni rahisi kuchagua na kununua vitabu. Nashauri wengine waitumie.
Kununua vitabu Alibris vinafika na hali nzuri na kwa haraka. Jambo ninalolipenda kutoka kwao ni wanasafirisha Dunia nzima.
Seems chill. (the rest of this message is to fulfill my 50 word word count. Hey guys. Whats up, uhh okay bye)
Always quick and easy, usually receive books quickly.
And sometimes I get new books. Thanks.
I belong to a book club and am always looking for the best deals. I will also suggest this cite to the other members.
I have placed a number of orders with Alibris and been mostly satisfied with my experience. In that one instance when the book ordered was in poorer condition than described, I had no problem returning it for a full refund. Alibris remains my go-to site for used and hard to find books.
Found a used copy of my book in near mint condition and was able to track its delivery progress efficiently. Alibris is my go to site for hard to find books
Quick, easy, good price, hoping to look for more, esp. Text books
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.
