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.

I read a lot. While going to a bookstore is my favorite thing, I live in the country and sometimes don't have the opportunity. So in this instance, I read an article in the New York Times about all the Trump books, decided this one would interest me and was able to buy it in less time it would take me to put on my coat. Ranking the books by condition is very important to me and Alibris makes that information available. Thank you for a great service - and a great alternative to the god of Amazon.com. Be well all.
Easy, has the books I want, priced right, reasonable shipping.
I love that I can get books I need without breaking the bank.
Easy to order now waiting to see when it arrives and what conditions the book is in.
After I chose ther first book. I did not see a button that said: "Continue Shopping." It took me a while to figure out that I had to click on the book next to the word "alibris" at the top of the page. Thanks anyway.
Easy-to-use website. Even while using my cellphone.
Site is easy to use and had exactly what I was looking for.
I love Alibris. I can nearly always find books I'm looking for, even the relatively obscure ones.
Easy to search by isbn to ensure you're getting the right book
Great and easy to understand instructions to register and wonderful service.
I enjoy the ease of finding the right book for the best price.
Happy to find this dvd at a very good price. Always glad to shop Alibris, tho it's been a while. Nice to be back!
Always wonderful service from Alibris! And great prices.
Love this website! It's fun and easy to shop for books and the prices are great.
I am a very happy, regular patron of Alibris, who is quite willing to recommend the service with my highest endorsement.
I found it nearly impossible to remove a double and then the order tripled for the same book - attempted to order four times before I finally was able to edit - should be a lot easier.
Alibris keeps the consumer in mind and has simplified search, ordering, and payment. I have never been disappointed in doing business with Alibris.
Always a pleasure, very easy to navigate site.
Love the book and the good price for a hardcover version in very good condition.
I love the fact that I can buy books as a guest and don't need a password to remember or in my case forget
I never get coupons from you until after I've purchased something, or the coupons I do get are invalid or expired. Also, your shipping cost are outrageous considering how long I have to wait to receive the book.
First time using site. Looking forward to receiving order.
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 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.
