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 like the wish list, easy to add books that I want to read
I wanted this book new for my grandson. Alibris has always been a reliable source and check out was quick and easy.
Easy to navigate. Competitive and accurate pricing.
I love how affordable the books are and the variety of books to choose from. I just wish shipping wasn't so high, but I also know shipping is out of y'all's control.
Your search engine is very user friendly. Several options to pay. I have had great experience in past with my orders from Alibris
Quickly found the book I was looking for and checkout as guest was fast and easy.
Quick and easy. I used to compare price with other dealers but abandoned that long ago. Outstanding value in price and service.
Easy safe addictive captivating fun enjoyable way to obtain affordable books!
My shopping experience was smooth and easy and fast, and the price was very fair.
Your order process is excellent and shipping has always been on time. If something is rated as very good it is.
I didn't expect to find this book today, since it is available to the public this day...and for only $20.01.
I can always count on finding what I need, new or used. I've been using alibris since 2004.
I love shopping on Alibris. I always find what I need.
Found exactly what I was looking for.
Frequently have what I'm looking for with reasonable prices. Thank you!
Excellent selection and a cart helper to point out less expensive options that I could choose from - or not!
Fast, efficient and plenty of options to choose from?
Very efficient, showing me various options.
Thank you for having such a good collection to pick from, and a helper to find least expensive way to buy and ship! More savings for me, more books to buy.
Great selection and fast processing! Thank you for all that you do to provide books for people who love to read.
2nd time ordering from Alibris a set of books and had no problems. I've recommended Alibris to my Spanish teacher for books to other students as well, my Spanish books are esay to find using Alibris at an amazing price.
It is always easy to find the title I'm looking for, sometimes it's difficult to choose a book condition & price I find reasonable. The automatic cart comparison feature is extremely helpful!
I signed up for an account after placing items in my cart, and lost all items. :(
I refilled my cart and noticed, in spite of signing in, there was no indication I had signed in. Everything eventually went through, and I hope to see my books within the next several days or so. Thank you!
I received an email stating that I would have a $15 coupon. I will try to cut and paste here: Your $15 Coupon expires at midnight, janiskoch5624. In the shopping and checkout screens, it pushed the order through before I had a screen giving me the option. PLEASE contact me back to discuss this issue. *******519

I love being able to see all the bookstore prices in one place!
Am sending as a present for young boy very interested in birds. Couldn't figure out how to include a gift card I'd have gladly paid for!
Odd switching over to PayPal. Didn't include shipping.
I placed an order, it was cancelled. I needed the book for a class and now have to order another and it will arrive after the class starts.
Easy to locate the book I wanted with options and fast checkout.
Easy to find book that I was looking for at a good price.
Very easy, pretty much always have what I am 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.
