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.

My password did not work, had to reset. When I reset, the I am not a robot part was half off the page, and I was unable to see all of the photos to click, as well as the Verify button. I had to start all over again. Then when I went back to the site, the copy of the book I wanted was not listed anymore. I'm quite certain that no one bought the book in the time it took me to reset, since it's quite obscure. Could have been a better experience.
Extremely easy checkout process! I always look to Alibris when I buy books.

Good, except I would prefer not to save my credit card info on any site and did not have that option at Alibris.
I was surprised to find that the title exists. I was just hoping it did and that there was a used one out there
Love Alibris and my ability to find almost every book I'm looking for. When my chosen book was already sold, they suggested a copy of the same volume that was a similar price and condition. Nice.
Alibris is always an enjoyable online shopping experience. It's rare that I don't find exactly what book I'm looking for.
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.
