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.

Was not a place to put my coupon code ……. …. ….,……………………...,
Quick, easy…great price. I "gotta" deal. I'm replacing one that I lost and want to replace.
I found what I wanted easily and cheaper than elsewhere. XXX
There are many books available at reasonable prices. However, each book has its own shipping cost so it gets expensive. The sellers I bought from did not offer combined shipping when I bought more than one book from them.
Found what I was looking for and bought it. Very easy. Reasonable shipping rate and time. Can't wait to get my new book!
My book didn't populate using the ISBN, I had to type out the name and hope it was the correct edition. Other than that, it went well.
I kept signing up for your $5 off offer. It sent a text which I answered and sent the text back. But you did not give me my $5 off on my order.
I have been ordering books from Alibris and have always been satisfied with the descriptions and service.
I have been ordering books from Alibris and have been pleased each time with the efficiency of the website and delivery.
This was quick and easy. I sure wish shipping and tax was shown earlier, though.
Found what I was looking for at a good price. Shipping costs are high.
I hope the book will be in very good condition because it is a gift. Bison Books has a best rating and we're very clear in their description of the condition of the book.
I found the book I needed for an class I'll be teaching, fast and at a fair market price.
It was asy to find titles in the format I was seeking! I read "Bird by Bird" when it was first published in 1994 and as a writer my entire life, I continue to go back to Anne Lamott's text for inspiration and guidance.
Alibris is an easy way to purchase books as discounted prices with American Airlines miles added to my account
I have belonged to a Beach Cities Book Club for 50 years and have purchased my books from Alibris for the last 15 years. Always had good quality used books at decent prices. Sometimes fantastic bargains.
I was so pleased to know you are connected with libraries. I am also pleased that your rates are great and that you had the book I wanted. Thank you. I will be shopping with you again.
I accidentally shipped a book to someone it shoudn't have gone to and there was no process to cancel or fix that order- I emailed immediately but no one could help.
I recieved the books that I paid for and they were honestly in better condition than I expected. Would definitely recommend!
I appreciate Alibris notifying me regarding a book I was looking for becoming available. The book was listed as in "good" condition but I was pleasantly surprised it is like new! Thank you so much!
Thank you letting me know about the availability of this book! I appreciate alibris!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
