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.

Always find what I want at a fir price. Best online shopping experience
Easy, reasonably priced and efficient.
Alibris is priced right and dependable.
First time using this site. The shopping experience was super easy. Sure hope my book arrives soon and in good condition.
Its easy for me (a 74 year old with little computer skills) to find the books I want to read.
The $5 coupon code was misleading, requiring a $50 purchase. But you don't see that until you've done the work. I ordered without it, but won't order again.
The website is easy to use. Straightforward and simple. The prices are great and beat almost everywhere else!
Great selection! I am not pleased that I must agree to sharing feedback
Brisk, professional, and thorough - just as it should be.
Great selection, good prices, with reasonable condition info on many books (if sellers provide that, of course).
I'm finding many of the items I want to read at better prices than elsewhere.
Found a better book than I started looking for, and at a better price.
Quick and simple and only $1.64 gor a back season on dvd you cant beat that even with a club lol or a bator a wrench
Easy quick concise search engine providing immediate results making hunting a lot easier than most sites.
Alibris has been very good, easy, and accessible. All around a great experience shopping with Alibris over the past 3+ years.
I liked knowing that some of the profit was going to an educational program.
I found exactly what i was looking for with minimal effort. They made it very easy to process my order and get my things send out to me very fast. I got my book within a couple of days from when i purchased it. I appreciate company's that help you be more literate at a smaller price.
I love reusing books! This website is quick and easy, and I can see all my options clearly. Thank you!
I am very pleased with the price of the book and the checkout was a breeze.
Easy to find what i was looking for and they had a good selection to choose from
I'm glad I was able to find a used copy of Cormac McCarthy's latest novels at a price lower than Amazon as I'd rather avoid giving them my money as much as possible.
It's wonderful to be able to find at least a little music by John Fleagle on your website. The world forgets even the most sublime beauty so quickly.
Excellent search engine. Easy process. Interface is clear and readable (thank you for using larger fonts!)
Well designed, easy to use website.
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.
