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.

I'm always very pleased to shop here. Thank you for being one of the best and easiest sites ever
I've always liked shopping with Alibris.
Your checkout provides a fill-in feature that include the Usa state name but then upon checkout insists on the two letter abbreviation. Kinda wonky.
Great prices and mobile website is easy to navigate.
Alibris has a very good web site - clean, simple, large fonts, not cluttered, simple instructions.
Excellent job, thank you!
It was easy to find what I was looking for make my selections and pay Thanks
The address section of the order was not user friendly I am of an age to be easily confused and I could hardly be called computer savvy
Always go to Alibris for the rare or unknown books I want to read!
I got one email acknowledging my purchase of "The Sun and the Welfare of Man" but another that had a book cover with the title "Inventions." I hope there isn't a mix-up with the listing. Just an FYI. Also, I'm nonplussed here that to get this feedback to you and request follow-up, I have to agree to having my comments published. This and the confusion from the emails knocked down my raiting to 3 stars from 5.
Easy to search for books by subject. I enjoy the suggested books that pop up after a selection has been made.
Easy to search for the items I was interested in purchasing
Much better than the behemoths (they who mus not be named). But the within store search really needs an upgrade.
Purchased for years. I always find hard to find or out of print books. You are a treasure for book lovers.
It bit difficult to maneuver. I would like to see shipping times earlier in the process and have an option for quicker shipping and gift notice.
Love your business! You always have the books I need. Easy App. Great on every level.
Best price anywhere on this item & easy check-out.
I have been searching for a copy of this for 3 weeks... So GLAD you have it. Thank you
Easy to order. Price of book great! Price of shipping is outrageous. Hoping for closer to 3 days rather than 12 days.
The site is a little challenging for a 73 year old
I entered a valid credit card number but it was not accepted. Please check. It is a correct number
The quick search took me directly to book I wanted and the price was within my budget
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.
