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.

You always have the books I want and ship them fast.
Easy and effective, was able to directly email the seller and receive pictures of item.
Thank you my friend will be delighted to receive this book
I was a bit disappointed that the price, $1.49, was somewhat deceiving because the the final price included tax which had not been indicated earlier brought final price higher than the one advertised($1.49 + $4.99 shipping). Otherwise, the website was very easy to use. Thanks.
I'm very satisfied with your service I've used Alibris for years with over 100 books purchased.
I've used alibis for years, I'm very satisfied!
I use Alibris.com all the time for my books
Quick and easy to find and order the book I wanted. I could not find the book anywhere else, and on Amazon it said it was written in Russian.
Fast, efficient and sensible. PayPal is an asset as well! Thanks!
I contacted the seller for more information and they immediately responded by email and answered all my questions. Great customer service.
Very easy, quick and efficient. Thank you.
Seller's clear information about book condition, plus seller rating, plus price, made it easy to decide which used copy to buy.
Easy to find the book I want and check out. Thanks!
Easy and quick. Did not know of this book until I logged on to shop for another book. I just made an impulse purchase that hopefully pays off.
I always get good and rapid service from alibris sellers
Easy site to navigate. Great prices based on book condition.
Good except I'm not sure if you have options for shipping - i.e. US mail and/or UPS for example. We have a post office box and mail is NOT delivered to our physical address. So I either get orders at our PO Box or give another address for shipping if UPS is necessary.
Thrilled to have found this otherwise unavailable movie on alibris!
Great selection of old and hard-to-find dvds.
Seller responded quickly to my inquiries. Checkout was easy. Looking forward to receiving my order.
The prices are great, the descriptions good and the website is easy to navigate.
I like the ease of finding the books I needed but hate the high shipping cost. It almost makes it as expensive as Amazon but Amazon has faster shipping.
Always great to shop for used and new books with Alibris instead of Amazon.
Always great to shop online with Alibris!
After a friendly and collegial discussion, yesterday, with the sales-staff at a local bookstore (in which I'm a member and I frequent as often as I'm able); I was able to purchase the indicated book on the current order; for about 12% less than the price the local bookstore was offering.
Alibris îs always a fantastic venue to place book orders (in the event one does not support the monopoly on home goods and services owned by the world's wealthiest individual).
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.
