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.

I love Alibris because I can find books without going out to shop for them.
I buy all of my books from Alibris!
It is easy to find the books I'm looking for and you have great prices.
I found most of what I was looking for for good prices.
Your site is easy to navigate and books have been delivered as ordered in the past.
Found everything I was looking for and was able to order all from the same seller.
I've never hadso much trouble entering payment information on thw order page. I'llthink twice net time.
I have never been disappointed with Alibris's dealers and each and every book has exceeded my expectations of quality.
Disappointed in the many price increases. Also, Alibris should reevaluate members' shipping charges to insure they reflect actual costs.
7 OF MY 8 BOOKS WERE ORDERED FROM THE SAME SEKKER, HIPPO. THEY APPARENTLY GIVE NO DISCOUNT FOR MULTIPLE ORDERS SHIPPED TOGETHER. SHIPPING COSTS FAR TOO HIGH!
Really helpful site for hard to find titles, both new and used.
Was very easy to find exact book and order! So quick. Did it within a minute I would say. Good price for shipping! Look forward to receiving.
I just placed my order. I liked what I read about Allibris. I was very happy Allibris had the book I was looking for. I'll let you know any other details when I receive the book.
Great source for more affordable books for my professional continuing education courses!
Had my cart ready for checkout, logged in and lost all my items (one of them had the specific version i had in my cart unavailable when i restocked it)
My first experience was great. This will be my second order.
My cart disappeared and I had to start over shopping. Very frustrating!
Alibris always delivers and I can usually find what I'm looking for.
Alibiris was the go to when I worked at the local library. Great way to get books at affordable prices.
I love having Alibris as an option to purchasing new books from my local bookstore. I often end up needing to repurchase books that I use regularly, and I like to buy extra copies to have on hand for students who don't have the book in class.
Purchasing from Alibris has always been quick and easy!
This was a very easy way to buy a piano book. I didn't even that to look up a store. Thanks for making life easier.l
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
