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.

It was easy to order. Let's hope the books are in the condition as advertised.
Everything went fine once I got my new credit card information recorded. Thank you.
Hard to find music is available at alibris and ordering is easy
A little problem with one book. Took multiple tries over a few days to get item in cart. Other than that, all fine.
The book I wanted at a good price. Website easy to use.
Easy to find what you are looking for at a great price.
I have ordered a number of books from Alibris and have always received them in a timely manner in the condition that I expected.
Always have trouble finding exactly what I am looking for. Search engine a bit wonkey. I type in EXACTLY what I am looking for, get told no listing or get a bunch of crap I don't want. Fix that.
Very good!
To improve: allow including a discount coupon from Review screen.
Been very please, bought many books most in good condition, even those with markings were interesting to see what others think.
Hard to identify editions when purchasing books with multiple editions.
Easy to order and you took my money really quick. Not sure what I've gotten myself into yet.
The site is straightforward with a great selection
You offer a discount code then you have to spend $50. What a scam to get our email address to spam everyone.
Easier than before. Guess I'm learning something. Thanks Joe Slade
Love this movie. A classic for all time. Not just because of a biblical topic but because it's just a good movie and a great story. Thanks alot.
Simply LOVE all your material. Look forward to seeing about more.
Easy information, access and check out. Very good web design.
Quick easy shopping and ordering. They always come quickly and by USPS mail.
Good; however, I'd like to have eliminated some old addresses. Couldn't figure out how to handle that.
Quickly found what I was looking for and at a very good price.
Located what I was looking for quickly and ordered with no problems.
Quickly found what I was looking for and at a good price
A little trouble negotiating the search site but it worked out. Kept trying to sell me the highest price item..
If frequently found books I can't find anywhere else here at Alibris
I prefer to buy from Alibris because it is not owned by Amazon. However, I find your website more and more difficult to use, the more bells and whistles you add. Just for example, looking for a book today (can't remember which one) a lot of MP3 audio books came up first. Also if, at the bottom of the list, I click on "next" or "2" to get to the next page, I am taken back to the start of the list. Maybe most people like your new glitzy look - I wouldn't be surprised. As for me, I like the feeling, which I don't get so much now, of browsing in a humungus used book store with the authors and titles neatly arranged. Still, best of luck - keep going. (P.S., I used to have a (mostly classical) CD store and still have a small stock, so I am an Amazon seller. I've stopped selling anything priced under $15 - too much hassle for pennies. I've checked your sellers site; too rich for me, but that's not a complaint; it's completely understood. It's important for you to stay in business and for that, unlike Amazon, you've got to make a decent profit.) Anyway, keep going - it's important. But that I have to check this box [I agree to have this feedback published on public websites (Sitejabber, Google, and others) to help inform other consumers] to send my feedback is 100% crappy.
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.
