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.

This is the first time I have visited this site and I find it very friendly.
Found the books I need and additional reading books at good price.
So far so good.
In the past, I have ordered some things that never arrive so hopefully it is no longer an issue with your company
I have experienced delivery problems a few times so far, but I am satisfied with your dealing with them.
I can give a better review once I've actually received my book!
Use to find books for my book study. Can always find the obscure ones.
I order books for a book study on Alibris. They always have the books I need, no matter how obscure. I appreciated the feature that gave me a cart that saved a little money over my choices.
New to me. Checking out is confusing if you want to make changes. Guess I'll figure it out eventually. Never did see how I could apply the coupon discount.
If my movies arrive in the time stated, I will be very happy.
I had forgotten about your service but have used it before.
Would appreciate details of how to sell some of my cherished but seldom used
Cookbooks. Take care, Kate
Lucky to find this book. Not many persons want to know the truth about the USA/Israel and the Palestinians in the concentration camps
Great way to find moderately expensive books at very fair price + reasonable shipping costs. Spend considerable time looking at all condition comment hoping to find book without any highlighting.
Had trouble emptying my cart so that I could purchase just 1 item.
Purchase was somewhat easy. There was an issue where I needed to re-enter the shipping address. It was also annoying to repeatedly uncheck boxes for email offers - it was kind of rude, just ask me once please. I'm not going to change my mind within 30 seconds.
Great--but it was confusing that the deduction for Super Value Shipping does not appear until the last step of checkout payment.
Thank you for a great value of a much desired reference!
Your shipping estimates are worthless if someone needs something by a specific day. I rolled the dice and even paid for trackable/expedited shipping, though I have little faith my book will arrive on time.
Easy shopping for the items I was looking for, competitive prices, timely shipping time.
Very simple instructions and easy for a guest to use. The recommended edition was very helpful!
Process is simple. But would not allow use of 5.00 coupon codes
When refreshed the original book at a lower price did not show up..
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.
