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 is difficult to find large print books. Thanks to Alibris for having the best selection.
Book was just as described and arrived on time. Much appreciate.
The book is new and arrived intact and in great condition. But why did it take 10 days just to get to the USPS? I ordered on 8/7/25; it was delivered 8/25/25.
Easy to use site, plenty of options. Prior experience has always been positive.
I thought I would have the option of having the novel go to my Kindle, but I didn't see a way to make it work. Instead the story came to my laptop. I'm not interested in reading it in that format.
First time ordering. Recommended by relative. Hope I am satisfied, as a first time user
My order arrived in great timing and the product in great condition would definitely order from this site again

Item as described and in relatively excellent condition. Would help if there was a tracking number to follow shipping progress.
This program is very easy to use and always has the book I need.
Love discounts and free shipping! I like Alibris as they are a good source of books that are out of print.
Always easy! There are usually many dealers that have what I want and I have the opportunity to choose based on price and condition.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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 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.

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.
