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 all good until I saw "the item should arrive in 3 to 31 days." Wow!
I always shop Alibris, because Alibris always has the best deals!
Great service, great prices on new books, and excellent delivery time. Thank you!
Web site easy to navigate and had a selection I wanted to read.
I ordered books. Sometimes it takes a while. But the books came in a few days. Thanks for your service. Alibris is always a good source for books.
You made the process easy and quick. The information on the book was helpful.
Love it easy search and checkout. Not too hard to find items. Enjoyed the experience
Quick shipping and the books đź“• I am looking for at a very affordable price!
My first time ordering from you. I'm reserving judgement until my book arrives. (I usually order from Thirft Books).
Easy to use and find the books I need. It was quick and clear about which edition was available. Thank you.
As always with Alibris, it was a painless experience! Thank you!
My book arrived safely and in fine condition and I look forward to the read!
Book arrived promptly and was in the condition that was stated.
Fabulous book, great price and fast delivery. I will order again. I have never had a problem with Alibris.
Nice to be back. Thank you. The buying & shipping process is easy. There's no more excuse to use the dreaded mega corporate behemoth Amazon has become. It didn't make sense to buy Is a River Alive, especially this book, and then turn towards the questionable self-determined entity we call Amazon (what an ironic name)
Quick checkout and straightforward ordering process. Easy to follow.
So far, so good. But I just ordered and have not yet received.
Book of quilt patterns from 5" squares.
Contains a pattern I've been searching for, and book is in like - new condition. Now waiting for a rainy day to get started!
You made it easy to find & pay for the exact book I wanted - at a reasonable price!
I've shopped with Alibris for many years now. I've found many books that I couldn't find anywhere else. Their customer service is impeccable, their requirements for book sellers are top notch, and their selection of books, movies, and dad's is massive. I just love shopping with Alibris!
While a previous order for the same book was canceled, a new list of options was quickly provided. My refund was prompt. My new order delivery date should still be here in sufficient time!
Good books at a good price. Easy to use. Great selection. 1 2 3 4
My experiences with Alibris over the years have been uniformly good.
The purchase of a book could not have been easier. Alibris's search engine quickly identified me from previous purchases, found the perfect copy of the book I wanted, and brought up my address and payment information. I completed the whole transaction in about one minute!
I think anyone who buys books new is throwing their money away, and Alibris is the best place for getting used books. It also avoids having to patronize that "A—-" place.
Great price and fast shipping…will buy from again……………………………….!
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 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.
