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 was easy to find books on learning piano. I tried to order these on Amazon but had no luck.
Was satisfied books were available in good condition for great prices
Quick and easy
Well I don't have 38 more words to add to this but thank you
I live in Alaska and often experience issues with shipping. Alibris offers me the opportunity to choose from all across the country when I'm looking for items I would love to add to my home library. The shipping is never a ton like in some other places, and things always arrive on time and well packaged.
SO happy with selection and prices of my favorite used book series!
Thank you! I appreciate the fact that used books are available on-line. I have had good luck with the condition of the books I have ordered and received through Alibris.
I adore alibris. Def my go-to site for buying books (as long as I don't need them ASAP.)
Easey order, Easy checkout. I not only found what I was looking for at a very low price, but I also received other suggestions that worked perfectly as research for my latest project. Just what I needed!
Alibris wins my vote for the best on-line bookseller website.

Alibris is the best for making it easy to find used books for good prices. All the information provided about the condition of the books and the ratings for the booksellers is so helpful!
All the information you need to make a well-informed purchase, including ratings for different sellers. Great selection
The checkout page was slow but I only clicked it one time. I enjoy Alibris more than other book shops.
Easy to shop. Very reasonable pricing. Found every single book I was looking for.
I was very happy to get a good price on a hard-to-find book, and the excellent condition was just as described
You had everything that I needed! One of the books was purchased for a family member's birthday!
Easy and provides a good level of detail. Very good means the book will be in very good condition not a tattered mess.
Easy search and purchase. Well designed website. Can always find the books I want to read.
Alibris has a great inventory of new and used books. Website is easy to navigate.
I count on Alibris for all the books I buy since they are much cheaper than Amazon or other websites. I get consistent and reliable service, and the website is easy to navigate.
Thank you for having out of print books. I don't want to pay colector prices. I just want to read the book.
Found what I was looking for at a fair price. Used books are the way to go.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
