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.

The key advantage of Alibris is the large network of providers. Difficult to find books are frequently obtainable - and sometimes at very low prices - via the Alibris exchange.
I seem to be able to find the many esoteric nonfiction books that I very much enjoy on Alibris.
Found what I wanted at reasonable prices and hopefully in good condition.
Alibris has been my "Go To" for books for years. Good selections and prices and seller accountability all are highlights
I've ordered off Alibris many, many times and recommend it to anyone looking for rare or "hard to find" books!
Always easy and quick. Most books are as advertised Great service too
I've shopped Alibris for years... only one bad experience out of many transactions. Very happy with the site and service
Always have what I am looking for at an excellent price.
Always easy to navigate the website and find exactly what I am looking for. Based on my shopping history, the recommendations are always great.
Easy to navigate and find the items I was precisely searching for.
It's great knowing that I can find what I am looking for and get a great deal.
Best feature is that I entered a book request about 5 years ago. I just got a notice that the book is in stock - And ordered it immediately! So this is a win-win: I get the book, and you immediately move inventory. Thank you!
Although the books are good prices the shipping cost is a bit high although just due to time crunch I purchased from you guys today I think I'll shop somewhere else if not only du I have to for the books themselves but also tax and shipping that seems a bit high
I always find shopping wit Alibris a pleasure, good selection and prices.
Very easy site to navigate. Payment option user friendly.
I will visit you again when a book is not available at any library in backwoods South Carolina.
Easy and quick check out! Looking forward to receiving this DVD Thank you!
Thanks. I found it hard to order 1 more copy. Supply may have been depleted. Shipping seemed a little high but probably in line. Inflation is still high.
Fast, easy checkout. Great description of item and availability.
So far I feel confident that my order has been correctly handled & I look forward to receiving the item I want.
Shipping destroys your prices. It's way too high. Shipping is Almost $5 per book. Might as well go back to Amazon.
Have used Alibris for twenty years and will continue to do. Always my first stop for books!
Been using Alibris for years - never disappointed.
Buying from Alibris is simple. The simplicity of the website is even better than Amazon. As a bonus, prices are far better too.
Being an elderly woman in her eighties, I find the ease with Internet shopping amazing!
Thank you l enjoy your website it's easy to navigate and find books I'm looking for at good prices. Your shipping charges are starting to get a little high but when I find the great prices, it kind of evens out the high shipping charge.
I love getting books from your stores.
Happy to find this book again. The first one I ordered was missing 60+ pages, so I had to go through the return, refund for the first order! So I'm glad the book was easy to find.
First time user and will use again. Fast and easy.
Easy peasy. Lying in bed with a sick tummy but still can manage to find something swell at A Libris!
Quick and easy to locate the book I wanted & make payment.
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.
