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.

Love this album and was hoping someone still sold it since I can't find anything that indicates the existence of this band lol. I'll be so happy to have a copy again
So happy to find this book at a lower cost, both for the book and for shipping.
I love looking for books and DVDs at Alibris. They have a great selection of merchandise and it's great to know I'm helping independent bookstores and Goodwill stores.
You had every book I was looking for at affordable prices. Thank you!
Very hard to select place your order. Otherwise good site
Check out and save for later were somewhat challenging to figure out. Shipping price higher than I am used to paying in USA companies. I do NOT want any of my info put on Public Websites. It is ONLY for YOU and no one else. I am ready to cancel orders when you leave me no choice. I will not order from you again.
The book I wanted disappeared out of my cart before I could check out.
Found what I wanted quickly and check-out also quick and easy
Good service and good shipping experience, so far.
I have bought many times in this website and never have gotten a coupon.
Great products and service.
It was great to apply the coupon, I love saving $!
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.

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.
