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.

Couldn't sign in so I had to change my password. When I did that the book I wanted was no longer to found. They don't have a chat feature so you can't even get real time information.
Process quick, clear and efficient! Please send a copy of the transaction to my email address as I am currently travelling and w/o access to a printer. Thanks.
Would be better if you disclosed shipping costs up-front rather at the time of ordering.
Very easy process and the best price I could find!
Changing the billing address is not easy. The message you get when a card doesn't go through doesn't tell you WHY. Then you have to re-enter all the information again.
Shopping is always great, it's shipping that sucks.
Site is very easy to navigate, checkout was easy and timely.
Love that you save the carts for so long!
Updating the car is so easy!
Easy to use format - easy to access wishlist and old shopping carts!
Incredibly simple check out process!
Ease of checkout - amazing!

LOVE shopping on Alibris! Easy browsing - quick results - amazing uncomplicated checkout process!
Thank you for making book shopping enjoyable and simple!
Always find obscure stuff quickly -- and at good prices.
Site is still not as easy to navigate as it could be.
Nice and easy to find what I wanted.
Sometimes hard to navigate between categories on your site.
A bit hard to bounce around between search topics quickly on your site.
Ordered what I need for a good price, really quick, on my phone while sitting on the couch drinking coffee. And didn't use amazon.
Like each selection. Ordering was easy and convenient. Details concerning each item seems reasonable.
Convenient, fast and easy to understand information.
Straightforward search, found what I was looking for, though the image on the item was for the DVD version and the item is Blu-Ray version.
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.
