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.

First time I ordered from here. Found exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price. Fast and easy checkout with an option for help
Very good interface for finding out-of-print books
Search works very well (and subjectively better than it used to on multi-word titles), ordering process very clean.
I appreciate the easy to follow procedure when ordering!
The ad said "free shipping", but I could not find anything that was in that category, so it's quite a bit misleading.
Easy, love the used prices. Hope it's in as good shape as it says
You have the book for which I was looking. Made it extremely easy to get that Christmas present.
Alibris is my favorite place to look for books - convenient, user-friendly, always find what I look for
Alibris is my go-to site for used books; uniformly positive and buyer-oriented, very easy to use, informative.
Happy repeat customer - if I need used books, alibris is my go-to site
Big fan of Alibris - very convenient. I like to support independent bookstores.

Super easy to use! Great selection! Found everything I wanted.
Easy! A friend recommended Alibris to me. Love saving $
Network was difficult and sometimes lost connection but very easy to shop at

I have used Alibris for years and have been very satisfied.
Alibris has a good selection of rare and hard to find books.
Fast, simple, and secure. Never an issue with Alibris or its sellers.
Love shopping on Alibris.com and tell anyone looking for books to come here.
Always receive good quality books. Love this book shop
Almost always able to find just what I'm looking for.
The website was mot working well. I only need ONE book sent. Not two.
Very good site for hard to find items at reasonable prices.
Was sent a "$10 off Today" email only to be severely disappointed with a $2 off $35 coupon, that I couldn't even use because my book total was too low.
But with shipping, it all added up to over $44, and NO discount. Bummer
Happy to find three options on the used book rather than only one!
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.
