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.

Good, although your coupon link, which says "Weekend sale, save $15" is misleading, since the actual amounts are sharply scaled to purchase totals.
I only wish I could get a better deal on shipping, but am loving the book options!
Found what I wanted at a good price from a well-reputed seller.
Your website is easy to understand —
And the price is good!
Blessings, Carolyn Eskau
I was able to find the book I was looking for immediately. It took me less than 3 minutes to find the book and complete my purchase.
I'm always am impressed with all the books I've bought off of here. Love it!
Fairly straightforward. I've shopped with you before, and have purchased several books.
Don't you give rewards to repeat customers?
I'm glad there's a reasonably priced dealer just one state away.
Much easier website to use than other book sellers! I've tried to get Wormald's book from 2 other dealers but have been defeated by their cumbersome sites.
This where i get my books, first place i go. Thank you
I have decided to stop buying from Amazon, you are my first stop and thank you for the availability of purchasing new books.
I like the cart optimization feature, as well as how order history is presented. I can easily find the books I'm looking for.
Easy to find titles, decent prices, web site works well.
The free shipping incentive is too hard to use--the truck logo isn't enough!
Easy finding the book I needed hope shipping is quick plan to order more books
My favorite quick and easy way to buy books for literally anything I need. I've only ever not found a book I need on here once and I love books a lot. This site is the best.
Received email with coupon.
Attempted to use within less than 24 hrs. Already expired.
Wanted it to cover shipping costs which are high.
You make it easy to save a lot of money. I love your site!
Easy to use and so affordable. I keep coming back and have never been disappointed.
It is extremely easy to place an order. THANK YOU!
Would've ordered '2' copies from the same 'vendor' but protocol on the webpage did not seem to allow that … :( …
Easy to read; relevant info for books easy to find
Quick and easy,now wait to see the quality of items purchased.
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.
