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 found the two books I wanted, ordered, and paid easily.
Easy to use and easy to find what I was looking for.
I always find what I'm looking for and appreciate the price options.
I appreciate the selection and the descriptions of books.

I was able to find my item quickly and pay for it with no problem.
Purchasing through Alibris is quick and easy. And I got a pretty good deal on the book I was looking for.
Books I wanted were easy to find. Unlike many other website, I was not obnoxiously bombarded with "suggestions".
I love this site. Economical and excellent response. Books in very good condition.
I appreciate how the page that shows available copies quickly shows condition and shipping cost with each seller, and it's automatically listed from lowest price upward. I left 2 other sites, and though I wasn't really thinking about it, it turns out it is because their pages showing all available copies were listed in another order, and I had to search to find and click an option to see the copies listed from lowest to highest price. Thank you
Am able to find books I'm looking for that are not in my neighborhood library system.
Forms are easy to fill out. Doesn't take too long.
Figured out how to use edit to update credit card info!
I was not able to get my address changed because it wouldn't allow me to!
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.
