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.

Easy to change order; but can't go back to add another item once you're in checkout
I would like an option on how fast I receive the books.
This was by far the easiest book shipping experience I've had! It's so easy to navigate this site and payment page is super easy and user friendly as well. I am a fan and a customer for life.
Found everything for which I was looking. Fast search and multiple options!
It was easy breezy and we saved so much money thank you!
Easy to find what I am looking for and connect to sellers.
Always a joy to peruse the selections. Easy to evaluate the sellers. Previous good experiences.
It would be a bit quicker if the popups on coupons, etc would stop popping up! Lol
Easy and you are my "go to" site to purchase books

It is always a straightforward website and process to order with Alibris.
Alibris is the best. I don't always need new, and your used selection is wonderful. Great prices and prompt delivery.
Always top-notch! The only similarity between Alibris and Amazon is that both start with the letter "A."
I have never, ever had a problem with Alibris! Great selection, wonderful pricing, and prompt service!
Book a bit pricey, but the website was efficient and easy to use.
Can (almost) always find what I am looking for at very good prices!
I always find what I need and the prices are unbeatable!
Always able to find what I need and the books are always the quality that they are described as. Alibris is a great resource for used books!
The Alibris experience was fine. The rest is up to the seller. One recommendation I would make would be to add apple and google pay to the payment options.
Easy to search and items are listed by price. Always a pleasure to shop here!
If you get more of these books let me know. I give them to women in crisis

The purchasing process refused to go through until I switched from my local currency to USD. This is odd, since all my cards can handle any currency and never warned me that a strange/foreign purchase attempt was happening. It would be great if that could be fixed.
I found the book I was looking at almost immediately. The shipping was reasonable. This is a great website.
Found my book quickly and at a really great price.
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.
