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.

I love being able to find real books at a fraction of the cost. There's nothing like a real book to hold in your hand!
I love being able to find the books I want at an amazing price!
Checkout was exceptionally slow today for some reason.
I'm not certain if I entered the correct expiration date (My card says good thru 01/24 so that's what I entered).
Placing my order was fast and easy. Thank you!
I would have preferred the seller indicating whether or not their Led Zeppelin listing included the box and/or booklet.
Ordering my brother' book was easy & quick; thanks!
You really need to give an option for including a gift card! Such as "Happy Birthday" etc...
AND-- if the order is not time sensitive, you should provide a shipping free option. I will no longer order books that are charged $4.49 per book order.
Clear description of the books and their condition. Easy check-out process.
Love the shopping cart optimizer. Wish that the shipping cost was visible with each book to help mentally estimate the final cost. Shipping hits like a ton of bricks without that
Easy and affordable, plenty of options to checkout, which helps
Alibiris is a great resource to find new and used book at a reasonable price
Looking forward to receiving the books. So far east!
The books that I am looking for are available and the prices are spot on.
Thanks for computing my books within the same seller to save shipping.
Coupon Help was beneficial and appreciated.
This purchase was quick and easy. Also this was the lowest price.
Easy to navigate, great prices and check out was a breeze.
Easy to find the book I was looking for. Great priced
I have been looking for a textbook I used in college 46 years ago...I couldn't remember the name or the author, and searches on the internet on the subject matter only returned more recently published authors. But I found your site, and since I knew the subject matter and guessed at the probable 10 year span of publication dates, I FOUND IT! I can't believe it. And at a great price too. Thank you!
I have used you for years and Im still very satisfied
So far so good, Ive used u for years and some experiences have not been good. I have learned my lesson. I will get these items and look at them closely. If satisfied I will give you 5 stars. Plus I have been pleased with that particular seller so far.
I have bought several things that were not represented honestly. I am very wary of buying this and I hope it is truly new
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.

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.
