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.

Always have my book and perfect price. The books arrive soon, well packaged. Love this Alibris
EASY! As always, found what I wanted at the price I wanted. Well done. See you soon.
FOUND just what I wanted in the best format. Easy to shop and order then pay.
I come to you first.
I FOUND WHAT I WANTED AT A GREAT PRICE, A FEW CLICKS AND FINISHED! EASY. THANK YOU.
You always have the best deals and good quality books — you are my #1 go-to for books to own.
Found what I needed, slightly used at a much better price than Amazon!
Love your used books, most are in good shape and save money!
Great deals on used books that are in good condition
The necessary info all seemed to be there. I'll know more after the books arrived
It was good. I'd like to know the shipping cost before choosing thge book.
Effortless searching, shopping & checkout.
Truly best of breed.
Easy to look up unknown book titles with minimal words
Love how easy it is to search for what I am looking for, especially Alibris specific sale items.
Always great deals and love the coupons!
Offer of free shipping rather had unclear directions, and seemed mildly deceptive since all the books I had intended to purchase except one did not have the "truck" icon. Had intended to buy 10 books, but moved to amazon for free shipping on other 6.
Only wish I could avoid shipping costs, some of which are more than the book, BUT still a superb overall saving. Great service.
Always find navigating your website to be user friendly. And I like the suggested books to consider.
Always a pleasure to turn to you for my book needs & wants.
This website is so user friendly. In addition, I like the similarly themed books to look through for possible other choices.
Your website is so pleasant to navigate, & I like the feature that redirects me to other similar offerings.
Great prices, easy ordering and very professional.
Alibris is my go to for my books!
I love the range of prices, editions for most any book. Meets my budget and I get more bang for my buck...
Great prices. Would like you to accept my PayPal Rewards linked to my CCard
This book site is very efficient and has one of the best varieties!'
Easy to navigate website and many options for used as well as new books.
It's very confusing when my order qualifies for free shipping, but you show a $14.96 shipping charge on the Shipping and Payment information pages. If the checkout process could compute the appropriate shipping charge before asking for payment info, as most other companies do, it would make the checkout process much more understandable and not require inquiries to customer service about what's going on.
Website works well, applies coupons and shipping charges correctly and identifies external booksellers.
So sad that audio CDs are no longer created for newer books. Shipping prices are getting to be too much.
I cannot remember passwords to save my life. When I do, if I fat finger, I get locked out.Thanks for letting me sign in as a guest.
The State populates with my state's name written out and your interface wants it in a two letter code. Had to go back and redo the whole thing because state wasn't recognized. Just take it the way it populates.
Trying to ensure my order was for large print proved a little aggravating
Was able to find the book I was looking for, and the transaction was quick and easy!
Thank you
Today's was fine. But I ordered this same book two days ago from another seller and the order was cancelled today.
I love buying books on Alibris. So many good choices and good prices!
I read this excellent but short novels in about 2 days each so I'm glad to find used copies! Thank you. Julie
Glad to find this gift for my husband
Nice to find books, especially the low price used ones.
You had the book I wanted and the order process was fast and easy.
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.
