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.

I prefer shopping with Alibris. Descriptions are clear as are the buying options. Alibris accepts PayPal.
Finding the book I needed and being able to order it all within 5 minutes was great!
I was shocked, appalled, and outraged to learn that this marvelous little book has gone out of print. I'm so glad I was able to jump on two reasonably priced new copies.
As always, my Alibris experience was wonderful -- easy access to out-of-print books. If an actual person is reading this, I just realize that my order was charged to a now-defunct credit card. I assume I'll be contacted, but I'm sorry I didn't review my order more thoroughly before I submitted it.
Have been looking for this book as a present for a while. The process to date has been smooth!
It was quick easy and i found what i was looking for thanks!

Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.

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.
