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's interesting that the seller and a book dealer are associated with the item for sale.
Good, thorough search and options. Could not be easier!
Great at locating almost any book ever written along with multiple spending choices.
I am just delighted by the variety of books available thanks to Alibris. I have been a happy customer for 23 years.
Do be prepared to wait 2 to 3 weeks for shipments as books are sent via Media Mail - but that is what helps keep the costs down.
Never heard of ya'll. So we will see how it is when I receive this item.
Beautiful care in packaging for shipping. Much appreciated.
The price optimization feature saves significant $$ on shipping costs!
Great way to find the Genealogy I wanted and more.
It's okay I wish the shipping went faster but it's okay I think she should give me a coupon for my first purchase.
I could hardly believe I found these old copies of the books needed to complete our homeschool collection!

Alibris offers hard to find books at a great price
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.
