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.

Only objection is to shipping cost, otherwise fine
I really wish that if you order multiple books (but not a ton!) from the same seller and location that shipping for subsequent books from them would be reduced.
Alibris has always been a dependable source for quality books, old and new!
Aas always, really good. Thanks for keeping good books in circulation. May God bless you with an abundance of faith, hope and love.
Always nice to get good books from you. Dont know how to use the coupons you send but thanks anyway.
Clear instructions and easy to use, wide, affordable selection.
I have enjoyed my browsing as well as finding just what I was after. The information you share on each book is extremely informative as well as organized. My first visit, but not my last...it it only the beginning of enjoyable finds, and purchases
Great descriptions and cart optimization is useful!
Good shopping experience with Alibris now and in the past.
Good selection; great prices; easy checkout.
Good prices; good selection of CDs; easy checkout.
Thanks for providing books at a fair price, saving more than $10 than the A giant that once started by selling books at a fair price
First experience, didnt know what to expect and it all worked fine and looks well designed.
The name is a bit difficult to remember.
Too good to find all these things. Thanks. Don't take up space missions. Love, Trudy
THANKS FOR HAVING WHAT i WANTED AND MORE...
You had more than I came for, as well as what I wanted. THANKS.
Twice now this item has been "not available" when it was listed as available. It's for my 96-year-old mom, who wants to see it badly. I need it now, not later. Hope it works this time. Trudy
I pushed the wrong button and didn't have the opportunity to get my $4 off coupon. Otherwise, it was great.
Thanks for actually reducing shipping charges on multiple books ordered from one vendor. It helps.
I love Alibris. Thanks for giving me an alternative to Amazon!
TOO MANY ADDS POPPING UP, BUT OTHERWISE I LOVE HAVING FOUND THESE BOOKS. THANKS.
As usual I found more than I came for.
Alibris is the best! It's been my go-to book store for over 15 years and I just really appreciate what you guys have put together here. Thank you
Great store! I have used this online store for at least 2 decades, therabouts. Love the pricing, quick service and you guys have EVERYTHING! Love it! Thank you
This is the greatest Book Store on earth! I love you guys! I have given this website to all of my doctoral students, Master's students, employees, family and friends because THIS IS THE BOOK PLACE! Thanks for everything
Love, love, love this store. I've been shopping here for over 20 years. Started way back in grad school where I found amazing items at great prices, ALL OF THE TIME! I still shop here. Best online bookstore, and my personal favorite of all bookstores.

I've been shopping here for about 17 years. I love the books and prices. Shipping is getting more expensive but such is life. Love this place! I have recommended this place to all my employees, and patients. Thank you
Love Alibris. I've been a customer for over 10 years. As a Behavioral Health Doctor and part-time hobbyist, I find some many great titles in your selections. Thank you
Easy, affordable, always reliable. Thank you
This would be more appropriately after the the book has been mailed and received by the buyer.
Easy to find books of interest and smooth checkout service
Every time I place a new order, the program defaults to my daughters address in Washington State rather than to my home address in Massachusetts. This has caused some orders to go to the wrong address if I don't notice this problem before confirming the order. How can I change this so that it defaults to my home address?
I like that we can see several sellers and prices in one spot. Having the origination location is helpful, especially if a need by date is close. I wish we had the option to pick up the item, although I understand the need to keep the clientele on both sides safe.
Very Fast and even with the shipping your item is half off what other places are charging for the same item. Thank you and hope to get this item before Christmas.
Very unresponsive links when filling out information.
I love you guys. You always have what I'm looking for.
Easy to find the book I was looking for. Item details appreciated.
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.
