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'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.
Was unable to check cart or place an order easily and had to try everything possible before the order appeared. Please check your system. It is very difficult if not impossible to check cart and then place an order. Please advise.
I love shopping for books at this site. Always find a title I'm looking for, condition as described and come quickly. Shopping on Alibris is so easy!
Easy to understand choices, and great payment interface.
Prices are significantly cheaper than anywhere else online!
I am assuming that the new updated version at over 300 pages out in 2018 includes the information from book 1 and book 2 unless that information had become outdated?
You are still my go-to for classic movies. Thank you!
Found me the best prices on college books I've seen thus far!
Very good features on this website, especially finding books I had in my cart that were no longer available. I wish every retailer would have a feature like that; it's so thoughtful.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I like that little recommended choice at the top of the list. Saves a lot of decision fatigue. Thank you.
The site is well made, selection and prices are outstanding.
This was very quick and easy. It didn't take long to check out and the price of the book was nice compared to competitors.
Great selection of texts and usually find what I am looking for.
Process from beginning to end was very smooth and simple.
Overseas Postage is FAR TOO MUCH - especially when ordering several books at $27 each! - - - Means I order 1 book instead of 6 or 10!
Shopping on Alibris was easy to navigate and provided some great prices. I would use it again.
6 Books under $60 shipped to my door! Books that were out of stock on the other 2 Used Booksellers online. Woot woot! I was dun in 5 mins.
I found books I thought I gave up on finding... moreover for unbeatable prices.
Great place for book lovers
Glad to find the books I need - great price - unfortunately shipping costs more than the books.
Have only looked for one book but found it instantly.
Shipping charges are not included in price for each book, nor does your required checkbox affirm that my information will only be used for customer service. This needs to be more transparent, like Amazon. Thank you
I found the 2 books I was looking for & all has gone well.
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.
