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.

Let me get the product first before I rate any further. Ordering was easy but what I wanna see is how long it takes to get to me and in what condition it soon when it gets here then I can rate further
Fast, easy and good selections. I normally check this site as a good source of reading material.
I'm a long-time completely satisfied Alibris customer.
Alibris is great. I've turned to Alibris time and again over many years, and never been let down. As an added bonus: It ain't Amazon.
Alibris offered up exactly what I looked for.
I still find what I'm looking for on Alibris.
I keep my fingers crossed because some consignments do not reach destination
I have tried to buy books from you but they don't reach the destination. How sure am I that this book will arrive?
Didn't seem to be able to select a method of expedited shipping.
User-friendly, fast, efficient, excellent price. I look forward to receiving my book!
Love being able to find discounted used books all in one place
I'm pleased with the price and look forward to reading this book.
DIDN'T KNOW BOOK RENTALS WERE AVAILABLE LIKE THIS. AS A TOUR LEADER WHO DOES MULTIPLE COUNTRIES A YEAR BUT DOESN'T WISH TO CARRY MULTIPLE BOOKS I AM THRILLED TO FIND YOU.
The most competitive price and shipping stats for a hardback
Very well designed web site - easy to search, choose and ship
Very easy to use website! I look forward to using it again in the future.
Biggest issue is the cost of shipping was way more that the cost of the books
I've always found the book I'm looking for and since I have an account, it takes no time at all.
Alibris is my go-to place for purchasing books, & rarely a DVD. Quick, easy & efficient. Have never had an issue with a seller.
Always seem to find what I'm looking for, then check around at other sites & decide this is the best one for me. I try to shop at local businesses, but the costs are SOOO much more than Alibris!
Love your website... found exact book I wanted. Great price. Looking forward to shopping with you again.
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.
