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.

Great prices on books...but I will admit the shipping cost was more than the three books.
I like your products but your website needs help. It is difficult to just go in and search a specific title you have too many categories and other things on the homepage and how your system clicks back to where you were is very inefficient. I was going to order many more books and shows to only order two and quit. When I would look in the cart to my save for later section every time it would send me all the way back to the top of the order of the cart and I would have to scroll all the way through again down to look at the next item on the save for later section which was really irritating in time consuming for just one example. Thriftbooks, second sale, and Abe books have much better and more efficient systems and I will use them in the future. Thank you and I hope you upgrade to the level of your competitors in a future date
Amazon lets me add the book to cart but won't ship it. Some sort of weird censorship maybe? Amazon customer support couldn't even explain it. They said some rubbish about separate marketplaces. Never seen that before and I've ordered hundreds of books.
I thought my order qualified for free shipping but I was charged.
Alibris always have the books I need. The best platform for buying

Love buying used books and this site is so easy to use and has almost all the books I'm looking for.
This is my go to bookstore for used books
Perfect, Alibris always has the best dealers/sellers on board. I've been buying books from them for 25-years.
Excellent, as always. I've been buying books on Alibris for more than 20-years.
I love Alibris, and they're not affiliated with dreaded Amazon, which makes shopping on this site even better.
I like buying from serious booksellers on Alibris who know their subject and give detailed, accurate, book condition descriptions; not vague weasel words like "may have underlining or missing pages.''
Always wonderful! My only site for used books for twenty years!
Nice and easy! I all so really like how you have the remove available on the cart, I've had other companies not have that and I was forced to order the item I wanted to remove! Thank you for being Customer Friendly!
My first order was cancelled 4 days after I placed it. I'm beginning to think this is a scam site.
Your web site is the easiest to use that I have found.
Your site is the easiest one to navigate.

Very easy! Sending something to a friend. Now I need to go back and find some books for myself!
I love the variety of books and the many options (condition, edition, price, seller) for any given book.
Quick and easy. Hadn't shopped Alibris in a while. Changed my password, and ordered several books. Saved time and money.
This 'online book shop' is most likely a scam! I've ordered 3 books and received a shipping information. All book have been delivered from the sellers to a facility in the US. After that nothing happend anymore.
I received NO BOOK and several attempts to contact alibris.com failed. I never received a reply.
I did contact the sellers and they also only referred to alibris itself.
Unbelievable and shocking that this seemed such a legit company at first and turned out to be total scam.
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.
