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.

Great selection and reasonable prices. Have ordered from Alibris before and was always satisfied with product quality and shipping.
Great selection of books that I'm interested in. Fair pricing and great user-friendly website navigation. A wonderful source for used books, now that independent bookstores are disappearing from the United States of Amnesia. Thank you
Excellent selection and prices. Comprehensive descriptions / reviews. Easy to navigate website.

Top marks - always good experience shopping at alibris. Thanks
Shipping is high considering per book, especially from the same seller.
Always like how alibris is organized to present options for buying used books. Description system always reliable. Prices organized well to see what you are buying.
Always like the site. Well organized and I can always find what I'm looking for with all the options to purchase. Good information about the used book that makes shopping easy and reliable.
Search is a strange experience because algorithms are stupid, relying on words instead of meanings. AI, in other words, is never going to happen.
Need better interface. I could not return to shopping after one book!
I have been a regular customer buying used books from Alibris. My experience so far is very good. I got all the books in the mail and my shipping experience with the book traders was very good.
I always buy my favorite books here.
I have buying my books from Alibris for the last few years and I am very satisfied with my experience of buying books from them.
It's been a long time since I ordered from Alibris. I just ordered 2 old books that I love and am happy that I easily found them. I spent $15.49 on which is amazing. Thank you.
It was easy and I got what I was looking for thank you.
Excellent service I was expedited quickly. Thank you.
Always easy to find the book that I want on Alibris website. Thank you.
Books were priced really well, its super easy & convenient to find particular books, only thing that threw me off was the shipping, each book had it own individual shipping option which made it expensive
I have used Alibris for years to find books that are rare or out of print, especially if I have lost my original book. I love it!
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.
