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.

Would appreciate it if you would restate the delivery time at the end with order #
Finally found the book that I have wanted for years
Easy to use. Impressed that your total may change for the better with their system, better copy for less shipping.
Shipping is a bit expensive, but I love the variety and that its a great alternative to Amazon!
Always a pleasure to shop at Alibris esp when I remember my password and the email is correct. Looking foreward to receiving these books.
I figured out how solve my own problem.
This is a reorder. I did not know the first order had been cancelled. Usually, it's always a pleasure buying from Alibris.
Item was advertised as free shipping, However in the checkout I was charged a shipping fee. I am not pleased with this. Is it possible for it to be corrected? Otherwise, it was a pleasant deal.
It really is easy once one remembers their password,
So easy. I'm sure my books will arrive quickly. This was so easy.
Confusing when one forgets their password. Otherwise, it was very smooth.
I have already ordered 1 CD which hasn't arrived yet, so it's hard to verify. The prices are great.
The ordering was great, hence the 5-stars. Awaiting the delivery and product. Hopefully that will be a 5-stars as well.
Alibris is my go to search engine, as they can access the most books, and their service is prompt. I also like how they list all of my search books so that I can compare the description of the book, as well as its price. Doctor G.M.W.
Alibris has the best selection of books. It is an amazing store.
I have shopped at Alibris for many years, and consistently they are the best in every way...selection, price, honesty, and quick deliveries. Thank you Alibris, Dr. Whitehead
Best source for books. Accurate descriptions of books. Quick shipping. I recommend this seller to everyone.
Always so easy and convenient to shop with Alibris!
Easily navigated purchase experience on my phone. A 5 year old Android model as well!
Convenient, great overviews and easy to use. Thank you!
It's been good working with Alibris. They have not disappointed thus far. Good communication, good delivery, good product.
Thank you, I know different sellers from different addresses means duplicate shipping cost, just think it's a bit much, but like I said, I understand.
Shopping is fine but updating my address and things like that was a nightmare. Seems fine.
It was a bit confusing because all info you had on me was old. Had to update everything. Shopping for what i wanted was fine.
Found all of my textbooks on this site! Thank you so much.
So much less expensive than Amazon... Easy website. Hoping for fairly quick delivery as well!
Thank you!
Ordering was a breeze. Now we'll see if shipping is!
That's for anything that comes from Goodwill is great!
Gives me an array of additions and conditions to choose from!
It seems good, we'll find out when my item arrives.
Overall, easy to use. However, when I logged in I was advised that there would be reduced/no shipping charges. I feel that the shipping is too high.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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 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.
