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.

Great shopping with you! I can almost always count on you to have the book I need!
I found what I wanted quickly and at a good price.
I've relied on Alibris for great prices on used school course textbooks. They are competitive there and they also have a wide collection. Wish the shipping costs were not as adversely impacted by today's inflation as they are.
I didn't quite understand just a picture of a card you may want more of an explanation on that.
So easy to find what I was searching for, with multiple sellers.
Quick easy direct to the point know what you're getting.
Awesome, great books and love supporting anyone but Amazon!
Shipping was twice as much as the total for the books

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?
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.

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.
