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 find everything! No stress checking out. No surprise fees.
In order to minimize shipping costs it would be good to know if shopping at the same online store as a book I have in my cart would allow me to order a 2nd book from the same vendor with no extra (or minimal extra) shipping cost.
Very easy to find the book I wanted
Very much appreciated the alternative selections to consolidate shipping costs!
Great site for finding not only out-of-print books, but movies and music as well!
I wasted an hour trying to find another book to get the free shipping because of the misleading statement saying I only needed $6.76 more to qualify.
I always look first at alibris whenever I buy books.
I facilitate courses with recommended books, in the initial meeting I always suggest participants look at alibris.com for the best prices and quick service.
I have never failed to find a book that I was looking for no matter the year of publication. Keep up the great work and service!

Glad to be back with you after a long while. Thank you as always! I nearly forgot how great ALIBRIS always is!
Love the selection and cost shipping is honestly not bad when the books arrive within the lead time stated.
Website is easy to navigate and I found a new copy of the book I was looking for at a very competitive price.
Good website - I especially like the detailed description of the condition of the books.
Good website - I would place the section for discount codes prior to the section for total charges.
I found exactly what I came for and then some! A book tying the Constitution of Medina to that of the United States!

Always order books from Alibris. Great company.
We can always find books that we need and want on alibris.
Always happy with whatever we have purchased through Alibris
My local bookstore couldn't get the book, but referred me to alibris for a used copy. They included a link in the message they send me, which took me directly to the website. The search instantly brought up numerous copies, at quite a price range. I appreciated the seller ratings and locations in making my choice.
Item disappeared but then reappeared. Checkout experience ok.
Seemed easy enough. Will see how quickly I receive my product
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.
