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.

My cart wasn't saved when I had to reset my password to log in and then the item was gone. I'm not even sure it was gone or if it just disappeared because it went into my cart which then disappeared. Disappointed because I wanted that version.
6 items were ordered from the same seller, and shipped from a few different locations. All items were eventually received (4 items on one day from 2 locations) and 2 items several days later.
First time using this site. It was easy to use and I liked it.
It was a breeze to update my address and Card details
I have two Visa cards. One is denominated in USD and the other in CAD. It would be nice to save *both* in your system and then be able to switch between them, depending on where I'm having my order shipped. Just a suggestion...
Thanks,

Well, it's my first time using this company, and I just ordered so as far as ordering,and prices go, it's amazing. We will see the condition of the books and how long it takes to get them will have a huge factor on whether I use it again or not.

I love shopping with Alibris. No book should be in storage. The best place for a book is in someone's lap being read

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.
