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.

Great price and text is in excellent condition but shipping to Canada is not tracked and takes roughly 3 weeks. So order ahead.
Easy to find textbook by ISBN and the Price is good. Hopefully it will get here quickly.
I love being able to support local and privately owned businesses and book stores…and your customer service and checkout process is great. Thank you for giving me an alternative to the other guys.
Thanks for making this a pain-free endeavor! I always love shopping Alibris, as I feel I'm getting the best value for my money.
We're fine, everything is fine. Thanks... How are you?!
Great prices and great choices and great delivery I would recommend
Quick, easy, and the cheapest books I've seen. Very accessible and had the books I needed.
I cannot open and new account bc I have an old account but cannot correct the information in my old account so am having to reorder materials.
I'm glad that this service is available. It made shopping for my book a lot easier.
I find books are less expensive at Alibris, purchasing is easy, and the items arrive in a timely manner.
The book was in great shape, and I will, and would shop their again, as well as recommend others as well.
Not price transparent in the slightest. The price increased every screen I progressed.
Arrived a little slow but it came as expected. Good seller! Will order again
Quick, easy to follow, reasonably priced (including shipping)!
I was really pleased with the speed at which the book arrived. It's in good shape and just as described. Thank you!
You are my source for books. I have been dealing with you for at least 15 years. The few times there have been issues, you take care of it easily.
The site makes it simple and easy to find the specific book you're looking for.

Easy to use, good selection low prices. Blah blah blah blah blah
This is the most well organized book buying website possible
I love alibris. It's great fun to find books from days gone by.
Alibris is a great resource. I have found books from decades gone by that I thought I'd never see again.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.

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.
