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.

Have loved this Albris store for many years in my genealogy work. Now it has a DVD that I want. A win/win
Happy with efficiency and ability to find books with free shipping and a sort tab to narrow down my search by using books with free shipping
Web site easy to navigate
Book condition always as advertised
Well, when I went to login my password was supposedly wrong. But when I went in without login in and made a purchase all of a sudden my password was right? And I made the purchase
I have shopped with Alibris in the past and never had a problem. It's good to be back.
Well first of all it will not let me leave shipping instructions. For the amount of money he wants for shipping. This should still be here with his priority. That is way too much money for shipping...
He doesn't give the quality of the liner note or any details on the compact disc hardly. I want this in mint condition it's opened and i'm very worried. I also needed at my house by saturday morning. I'm not gonna pay ten dollars to ship it from dallas to wichita. I could drive there and pick it up cheaper. Thx
Easy to navigate and to find the books I am looking for...
Easy and lots of options, really love all the small book sellers being represented here.
I don't like how the shipping is separate prices and the shipping doesn't tell me if it is business days or something else.
I have purchased many book through Alibris. Each purchase has been totally satisfactory and I have referred others to Alibris
I have purchased several book via Alibris and the service has always been very satisfactory
I need the 3rd edition of the book I ordered. On other sites, I could not determine what the edition of the book was. I am very pleased that all of the pertinent information concerning the book was included in its description
Good price for the book. Found the same book elsewhere for more than twice the price here - even with paying shipping.
I would appreciate an efficient way to bundle from particular sellers
Fast, easy, effective search, precise description of book.
Plenty of options and books at a good price, easy to find what I was seeking, the checkout process was fast.
Quick and easy! Thank you for making it uncomplicated.
It couldn't have been faster, with the payment info. Instantly there.
Very easy to order. My password from 2018 worked! Description of book was helpful since I was looking for a copy free of underlining.
This appears to be exactly what I have been looking for. I think it's a little complicated to finally purchase something here BUT I have no complaint. Thank you!
I have been pleased with this site so far.
I love all these wonderful books, at such great prices!
Too many options to click to not receive emails. Now I'll have to unsubscribe when I get the offers from the final screen.
Very easy to browse and order books from you. Thank you.
Looking good, we'll see how soon it arrives and it's actual condition.
Easy to figure out and order. Cheaper than other places
So excited that you had what I wanted at such a great price! Easy ordering format and flow…thank you!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
