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.

First time shopper and have had a great experience.
Everything is great except trying to search tor the free-shipping truck. I type in the field that says search for free shipping, and it brings up everything. I go into an item and filter on free shipping and no items avaiable. Takes forever with no results - I would like to select "free shipping" and have it hold when I search.
Didn't know this book even existed until 5 minutes ago. Couldn't find it anywhere else but Alibris. Thank you.
Easy to use site.
I hope it gets to where I had it sent.
My go to place for hard-to-find books. Including my own.
Outstanding website and service. I love it!
We always find exactly what we are looking for and the prices are so very reasonable, even low.
Your system is so easy to use. Keep up the good work!
Love the ease of finding what I am hunting for

Nice site. Works on my ancient mobile. Awesome prices and easy to read details and sorting of the used vs new results.
Yall're crushing it. Thanks for sending me and having what I need
So far, I really like Alibris. I shop here regularly.
I was able to find what I wanted and get it shipped to the correct address
I found exactly what I wanted at a lower than expected price.
Alibris makes shopping easy for me. They usually have what I want and they give all kinds of promos... I was not happy to be charged shipping on each item, but overall the prices are fair and it really didn't dent my pocketbook too much. I look forward to reading the books.
I would like to be able to combine orders, order more than one book from the same seller and minimize the shipping costs. If that were possible, I would have bought more books. The website does not seem to let me do that. Otherwise, good shopping experience
There was a great variety of books available. I was able to get a hard cover in very good condition for less than $5.00. Shipping was almost the same amount.
There were many choices for new or like new copies.
I found what I wanted and saved about $10.00 v. ordering by mail from local store.
It provided good choices and was easy to use.
As always, Alibris has the book I want at a fair price.
Alibris is so easy to use. I find what I want, a couple of key clicks and the transaction is done.
The website is horribly set up and there was no where to apply coupons that I got by signing up which made the coupons completely useless and I saved no money.
Twice, I have found the books I sought which were offered at an affordable price. Upon receiving my books, I found them to be in the very good condition as described on the site. I have shared your website with several friends.
Alibris had great supplies/choices for the books I wanted.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
