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.

The page is very convenient to browse. I also like that you offer different payment methods.
Quick and easy and found exactly what I was searching for.
Had a little technical problem and Customer service was quick to respond and all was taken care of immediately. Have been ordering from Alibris for a while now. No complaints! A+++
You sent me a code for $5.00 off if I signed up for text messages, which I did. However when checking out there was no where to enter the code! Therefore the code was useless. Very frustrating and misleading. Please remove me from the text alerts and am considering closing my account. That was underhanded and sneaky.
Locating the item was easy, check-out was easy and efficient.
I'm so glad you offer a guest option when purchasing.
Always easy to search on Alibris. Always find what I need.
Once I was able to remember my password, the payment for my order and checkout after shopping could not have been easier. Thank you. Tommy Richardson
My experience has been commendably efficient and free of difficulties.
I was formerly a regular customer of Alibris, although it has been so time since I last purchased anything from you. The service today was exemplary in its efficiency and ease of use, even for me. Thank you, Tommy Richardson
My shopping experience with Alibri is absolutely brilliant! Such clarity and efficiency. So happy to have discovered them. Thanks from the UK
What a relief. Much easier & more straightforward than other frustrating and confusing online websites. And this site gave me what I wanted as well. Thanks from the U.K.
Shipping charges need to be stated more clearly and accurately before payment is taken.
I ordered because you guys sent email saying mothers day coupon there was nooooo place to write in coupon code anywhere i looked you guess are shisters but hey america is that kinda place!
The site said that the credit card I wanted to use has expired, but it hasn't, so I had to put in a different one.
Good prices for lots of books I wanted. Now the waiting game for them to come!
Finding used books I been wanting was easy. Good prices and liked having options to choose from for condition all in one spot. Hope I still feel that way when the books arrive!
Process is easy, just don't understand why, when ordering multiple books from one seller, they charge full shipping on each book.
Poor notification of ordered item being out of stock but nice to be given an alternate option
Best price and fastest shipping I could find for this book. Hopefully it does in fact arrive within a week as that's when it's needed!
It's always easy to find the books I am looking for on Alibris. I like the additional suggestions for more books of the same genre.
I can always find interesting books on Alibris
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.
