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.

Really pleased with price and convenience of the website.
THis book is for my book club. Since it is a recent release, it was hard to find at reasonable price as a used book. Pricier than other used books I've bought in the past; I imagine this is because it is very recent. My library doesn't have it, nor do other used book sites I checked out. Really glad Alibris has it a reasonable price.
Alibris is the best bookseller I've ever purchased from! I'm always recommending them to friends and family.
Search engine is accurate and fast. Prices are reasonable and offer a range of choices from used to new.
Easy to locate books I need and great prices!

Appreciate the ease with which your inventory can be navigated. It's nice to be able to sort by one's most essential characteristic, whether it's price or condition or something else.
Easy to navigate through the available books - some sellers are better than others at providing proper descriptions. That transparency matters to me, and helps me to discern a good seller from a bad one.

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.
