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.

It was good, the only thing would be that you would let customers know the coupon code for $5.00 requires a $50 purchase. Thank you for your services. Next time I purchase I will have a list ready.
Easy to find the right book and easy to place the order.
Easy to find what I was looking for, and good prices.
I found exactly what I was looking for and it was quick and easy! :)
It was quick and easy to find what my granddaughter was looking for. :)
I order books for my granddaughter. She loves them and always wants more!
I love this website. Only one book I ordered didn't't say where it ships from but, other than that I love this website. I've ordered from here twice and only once did I get a terribly damaged book.
It was okay. I had to leave site, then go bacl in bcs systrm woulf not allow me to access cart after I completed shopping.
BKX545 was supposed to be $5 off for signing up for texts but when I entered it, the minimum purchase was $45 to qualify. So of course I stopped texts. Shabby trick?
How smooth and quick with no glitches! Made my day!
Shipping is way too high. $4.45 for each separate shipper?! More than the cost if the book in two instances-
Was able to find a hard to come by book that I've been looking for for awhile!
Happily, I found several copies of a book I wanted.
I have just learned today that my recent order was delivered to the wrong address
To an unnamed individual at in BELL GARDENS, CA *******.
My address is in Vancouver B.C. Canada.
This does not bode well for future orders.
AS USUAL YOU ARE USING TRICKS TO LURE CUSTOMERS...i.e. YOU POST A RELATIVELY LOW SHIPPING RATE AND WHEN THE CUSTOMER PROCEEDS TO CHECK OUT YOU INCREASE THE CHARGES... i.e.from $6.95 to $16.95 thus INCREASING YOUR PROFIT MARGIN
Great search engine. Found the books I wanted from the same seller. I think there should be more of a shipping discount if books are from the same seller.
I have sent 3 emails to the seller with no response, I have also sent emails to Alibris and it is like I am taking to a robot, you can not call the company, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT ORDER BOOKS FROM THEM...HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Just what I want, at a reasonable price! Thank you, Alibris!
Your site had an address from 10 years ago as mine. It was a headache to rectify that old info. It hampered my experience. Try harder.
Easy so far. My first time ordering. Website highly recommended.
Shipping is high, the books are a good price but shipping is high
You always have good prices and almost always have the book I want
Always have a good experience with you
Always a pleasure doing business with you
Twice today I have gone looking for some specific books with which to tutor very young children. First in an assortment of Foreign Languages and now in Mathematics. I had 100% success in finding the specific books I wanted. Not Bad!
Found everything I wanted on the First try.
Found exactly what I was looking for.
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.
