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.

Great Customer Service, sight was easy to navigate.
I was able to find the books that I wanted, and had a choice on condition and on from which seller to purchase to order the desired books.
Lots of choices, many books & cds that I can't find elsewhere.
The website is easy to use and communicates any problems well. (Is it designed by women?)
Easy to order, ask me again when the order arrives.
Good selection, fair prices, easy checkout. Thanks!
Small bit of confusion about the discount offered, reasonable response to inquiry. Good experience will likely consider for future purchases
Excellent display, search and navigation, order purchase transaction process, thanks!
Nice book descriptions, easy checkout, gift book ship to different address.
Quick & had the books i was looking for at great prices
The condition of the book and the price for it were great! Looking forward to receiving my book.
Website is easy to use, process of placing orders is smooth, email updates are appreciated
Much easier and I like the reminders, helps not to forget items.
I wish it was easier to know what books had free shipping but otherwise love it.
Always find what I'm looking for and today was no exception.
Been shopping Alibis for years. Always satisfied. Only ever had a problem with a shipment once and it was very quickly resolved with a refund. Books are always in better condition than the description.
Had both things I searched for for great prices :) I hope everything arrives soon
So far, 2 of my orders have been denied. Many days later. Have reordered each time, but have no idea if the books will come. Please check your dealers so they do not give false info to your customers
Professional and accurate. Someone needs to create more of these fabulous puzzles with at least 240 words. I've done all of the books with that, including those with 300 words per puzzle. There are no more….TY
Thank you for making it not too difficult. I've been doing these puzzles for several years. In my research,there are no longer puzzles I have not done that have 300 words per puzzle. Very disappointed. I've done all of them and would like to see more published. TY
Overall, my shopping experience was good, but your system/process for changing credit card info was unclear, awkward, and odious. On the scale of my own experience of updating info this one was pretty poor.
There is a HUGE variety of books that I've been searching for high & low, and I love that I can choose the edition that I'm looking for. Also, it's nice to be able to easily track my shipment.
Thank you for the details about what edition the book actually is and what condition it's determined to be in. I have had absolutely no problems with getting the books I expect to get. Thank you!
Unable to get information about the product from the seller
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.
