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 appreciate your low prices for used books. Usually your store has the best price on whatever book I'm looking for. Thanks for that!
Super easy with lots of options price and condition wise!
I am very happy that you had this thank you have a nice weekend Candus Vallee
I always appreciate the options Alibris gives me for book selections across the country.
Acceptable so far, and cautiously optimistic. We'll have to see whether these Sellers can fulfill promises of their respective listings. On the other hand, I resent having to make my feedback public as a precondition of customer service if a Seller fails to fulfill its obligations.
AS ALWAYS, I LOVE SHOPPING ALIBRIS, I HAVE HAD MANY YEARS OF PLEASURE FROM HERE, ALWAYS FIND WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR, GOD BLESS YOU!
This is a great place to look for the book that you want.
Shipping seems a bit high for media…but overall very good.

Easy to use site and excellent stock plus precise description of stock grading/quality
While the prices are great, the shipping has been super slow in the past. Maybe it won't be as bad with this order. Giving it another try.
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.
