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 completely forgot I had created a book fetch search years ago, so I was thrilled to receive the message now that my book had been found!
Website is easy to negotiate... checkout is fast... find your book or browse, checkout & wait for your purchase to arrive
Easy to find books, easy to create an account, easy to checkout
Very easy to find the dvd I was looking for & checkout was easy.
User friendly; used coupon. Also, had not used Alibris fo a while.
Easy and safe to shop for titles. I like being able to find a desired title, then brows the same online seller for other books I might want to save on shipping.
Easy to order what I'm looking for. I like also being able to search the same seller for other titles I may want, to save shipping
I looked high and low for this book and I found it Thank you so much!
Great source for History or pleasure reading books.
Great selection of history material! Better shopping than looking through book stores.
Ordered a copy of office space on dvd, spent a total of 5 bucks and received it earlier than the expected delivery day. Movie is in great condition. Definitely will order from here again!
Excellent. Very inexpensive CD lost, fantastic artist. Trying to build CD collection again.
Was looking for any album of Pete Seeger's, this remembered from childhood but with way more tracks.
Decent search features even if one only has a topic. Excellent search by author or title. Great vendors keep their inventory state up to date. The very best prices on every title can be found with 2 clicks.
I can always find the book I want plus look up other books that I may want to read some of which are recommended to me on the site.
It's always easy for me to find books by title or author. I like that full book descriptions are presented and a large variety of used book options are usually available.
Easy to order but no book condition listed for what I am buying. I assume it is pretty poor but no.problem as long as all pages are included!
Great, as always! Have great selection and make it easy!
I appreciate the ease of use and an alternative to the billionaire backed big corporations. However, the similarities are a bit unnerving, I must admit.
Alas, I am allergic to one of the books I ordered---this is a risk of ordering used books. The book is likely contaminated with pet dander. Sigh and Aargh.
Finally received my DVD (a week late). No fault of the vendor- Canada Post chose to really crawl and send it all over the country. Looking forward to watching it on my larger TV.
When I tried to create an account the system made it very difficult to create a password. I decided it was too much trouble and signed in as a guest.
Very happy to find this book and even better it was brand new and at a great price. Could not ask for anything better.
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.
