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.

As always - good selection of titles, easy to use website
Over all good, a little confusion finding books with free shipping
I've had this book on my list forever and was never able to find it for a price I could afford - I'm hoping this works out, because this site seems to be exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for.
The "shopping" was a 5 but the "buying" was not so easy. It would be better if you did not automatically show the last shipping address as the "billing address" on the first page of the check out process without indicating how to change that. I eventually got that all straightened with a new address for the gift I am giving and my correct billing address but it was cumbersome.
Picked out choice. Entered info and - just like that - we made a deal!
Thank you for making the shopping experience intuitive and easy.
Glad to be able to find a currently very popular book for a very good price.
Was an easy shopping experience. Everything was easily accessible enough.
It's hell figuring out what is or is not in the cart
It was easy. I just had a problem where to put in for the coupon code.
I was trying for free shipping but you charged me anyway WHY?
I entered HOUSE for coupon $$$ - will I receive what you advertise?
************
I signed up for the $5 off for my email... would've been nice to use it on my order.
Very very wonderful love too order books keep up the work
Quick and easy and I can find about any book I'm looking for.
Found what I was looking for at a reasonable price, both for the item and shipping.
Found a good price for the book I want and excellent ratings of the company offering the book.
Easy search and good item details. Easy checkout. No gimmicks and tricks.
I do wish it would tell you a little more about what you are buying I didn't know if the DVD I was buying was a copy or if it was a brand new disc it says new but I wasn't sure if it was a copy or an original
Although "Maryland" populated itself on your system, Alibris rejected the completed information and made me go back, and change "Maryland" to "MD," and re-enter the fields with information. Made me redo the information fields twice. Annoying. I did not type in Maryland; your own system automatically inserted it.
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.
