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.

As a long-time customer who has always had fast service and buys old books, it's my favorite used book store.
The best place to find hard-to-get books that I've found... and I looked diligently
I haven't used this site in quite awhile, this time I found it much easier to navigate thru the home page to quickly find the category that I was looking for.
I have purchased from Alibris several times and have always been satisfied. Happy customer Thank you Tommy
I have enjoyed shopping at alibris for quiet some time now and will continue to do so. Thank you.
I have always been happy with all my business done with Alibris
My favorite online bookstore! Easy to use and quick deliveries!
Shipping prices are confusing when buying multiple books from same seller.
I love Albris books! When my club selects a title, I am always unable to borrow from the local library, as everyone wants the books at the same time. Albris books makes purchasing the titles easy and affordable! Thank you!
I love Albris books! The ONLY place I order books from! So glad I found you.
This was a fast transaction. I just hope this particular book is available as advertised.
Just as easy ordering on my phone as on computer.
Easy use of website with lots of purchase options for desired book.
SITE IS CLEAR AND EASY TO NAVIGATE WITH ALL THE NECESSARY BOOK INFORMATION NEEDED TO MAKE A PURCHASE.
Very easy to find what I needed and there were purchase options for each book as well as descriptions
Thus far very good shopping experience. Site is easy to navigate.

I love working with Alibris for my books. They always have what I need.
I LOVE ORDERING FROM ALIBRIS! You guys always have what I am looking for and with many choices across the country for mailing. I have ordered books, music, movies and textbooks from you for years and will continue to do so! Thanks for great, fast service. Jody P.
The Advanced Search feature made it very easy to find my selection.
Everything is very good, easy to navigate, good search engine. The one problem was that the book I'm ordering seems to be in several volumes, but this is not easy to discover, as the volume number is not listed in the description. I just happened to notice "volume 1" on the photo. I still don't know how many volumes there are total that I need to order.
I found what I was looking for fast, and the price is much better than Amazon.
Easy, found what I was looking for. Purchased with ease.
Five dollar coupon came right after I placed my order…will be sharing this with others to warn them where not to go
I always enjoy ordering from Alibris.
It's so easy to pick out a book & order.
The best book store to find & quickly order almost any book.
Had to order a second time. And shipping is expensive.
I have been a customer for many years and never had a problem with product quality or service. Keep up the good work. Anon
Great selection of books and dvd's in good condition, priced right.
All my many purchases have been a great experience with no bad ones!
Merchandise quality and selection has been excellent. Many movies have not been available through other sellers. Good job!
Cannot find where to enter coupon code. Ordered anyway.
Very efficient website. Easy to find and order a book.
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.
