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.

Quick and easy can't wait for the delivery! Thanks for having the necessary tools for our lives. Amen!
So far, so good
Ask me after I receive my books and I'll let you know
I really worry about buying used books without looking at them first
I received an email Notice today 4/27/23 for $5.00 off my order. It was not accepted. Why not? Don't send me email $500 off Notices if you don't accept them. You must be aware of my Order as you emailed my cart would soon expire. Irresponsible customer service! Hopefully, the novels will meet at least "Good"
Description. I will check the Checkbox to obtain my Order but don't wish to have any of my comments published anywhere. This is a scam world. I wish to protect my identity.

I can always count on Alibris to have what I am looking for. For so many years now. Hard to find books, contemporary books, you name it.
I love alibris the movies are really cheap which i really like and they rlly don;t take very long to be delivered which is also nice so yeah really good if ur looking for movies you can't find on streaming platforms and can't afford amazons prices thanks Alribris
Love alibris. Lots of great books at great prices!
This is my go to site for books. Would like shipping costs to be part of description.
Love the amount of available books. Shipping information and cost are not transparent enough to earn 5 stars.
Easy to use site. Fast checkout. My favorite place to shop for books.
I do not know how it could be any easier.
Pretty nice. Wish the home address could be entered with special characters though. Just so I could be as precise as possible.
Great find. Easy transaction. Soon to see about prompt delivery.
Smooth, easy operating search and check-out. Will use this site again.
Within 3-4 clicks I had my book ordered. I love the ease of finding and purchasing a book from Alibris!
Good prices and variety. Books arrive on time and in advertised shape.
Love that I can complete the series from one shop/store!
I've been using this site for about ten years. It's so simple and has an amazing selection. I've never had a single issue.
I have been so satisfied with your service & how easy you have it set up to find a book for me.
DOLORES I am 88 years old & love online shopping. Thank You
I really hate to pay more for shipping than for the item, especially on some of the very cheap paperbacks.
All books are ordered from the same seller. Therefore shipping cost should be greatly reduced.
Buying a book that is widely available in print so it easy to locate and to purchase
Very smooth buying experience. I was searching for a specific edition in a popular Sunset Western Garden Book series. Items presented several variation w/o id of specific edition. So went and searched for the specific edition with a associated cover.
I like what multiple copies of a title are listed each with a pull down menu button so that I can easily compare conditions of each copy.
Excellent site: Great Search function and very easy to compare the different book conditions and their prices!
I don't understand the process but the proving I am not a bot seems a lot smoother than having to id which box hides the bus or crosswalk
I found exactly what I wanted by entering a partial title of the book. That was great.
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.
