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.

Rapid, excellent service.
Easy to navigate. Helpful re choice of prices & types of books offered
Very pleased. Easy to find the items I'm looking for and related items.
You've got almost everything! And I'm glad you use PayPal
A little tricky finding where to edit the billing address.
A few rough spots is all, got what I wanted, not happy with shipping more that book price but who cares much?
Found 3 books in excellent condition at an excellent price - books I've been unable to find at my public library and neighborhood bookstores.
A+ Transaction from beginning to end!
I had a coupon for my purchase but there was no window for me to submit it. It was only $5, but that adds up.
Easy to use site and always great service. And honest write-ups on book conditions.
Comforting and exciting to reach out to the universe and find just a bit of pleasure.
Alibris has always been reliable and a favorite book seller for us.
Alibris is a great place to get used books at low prices. Easy website to use.
Alibris always has the best prices! Always beats Amazon! Easy to search and you can send books directly to a friend as a gift! I have been a member for over 20 years and i recommend alibris to everyone I know.
Easy to find what I wanted and easy to pay for as well.
Seems quick and simple, no extra business that some establishments bog you down with.
Kept telling me my cart was empty when I tried to pay, then I would pit books in my cart AGAIN, only to find them disappear, or be doubled up. Wacky.
When I was piqued by Click Bait advertising, I thought, let me see if I can do better elsewhere. You saved me some $$$!
Quick reaction to search. Great prices. Easy checkout.
Recently I've had to enter my credit card number EVERY SINGLE TIME I order a book - does your system not have the ability to store credit card numbers? An inconvenience, as before your system was able to store my credit card. Adding this additional step EVERY TIME I BUY A BOOK is kind of annoying.
This is my go-to site for finding many hard-to-find or out-of-print books in good condition at reasonable prices.
Great job, I would love the Exam Prep: Fire and Life Safety Educator I & II 1st Edition just too expensive on a fireman's budget.
Good, but shipping is expensive for purchasing multiple 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.
