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.

Never really understood relativity even though I have a physics degree. Hopefully Alibris will help set me right. Thanks. Jose
Easy to use Alibris. For books, I usually choose used. Alibris has been my first choice for years.
I found what I wanted. The data entry page for address and payment could be more user friendly.
Love how easy it is to find trade books. Also love the treat of occasional free shipping
I love that Alibris helps you find the best combination of book prices/shipping costs when you check out! Great feature!
As always, Alibris has most any book you can think of! :)
I love purchasing from Alibris. It offers the ability to buy from small sellers and second hand bookstores with a wider selection than you can find in person
Comparatively good prices. I had some difficulty adding items to my cart.
The site was easy to navigate. Shipping was expensive. Over all it was a good experience.
Searching for rare books at a reasonable price was surprisingly easy using Alibris. I had never heard of this site before my search and was a little hesitant to use an unknown to me site. However, I found exactly what I was looking for, the prices were reasonable and the shipping was quick. I would use this site again.
Easy to use the site and find what I'm looking for, would use this site again.
Amazing that you have such an immense variety of books! Easy shopping! A bit of a shock to see the shipping charges after those low prices... but I do understand.
Smooth, easy, responsive, and ethical. I'm excited to be a convert to Alibris! And I loved the extra bonus that they help me group books from each store, thus creating less packages and less postage fees.
Just heard nothing until it eventually arrived————————————————————-22/
Everything worked as it should. The quality of the merchandise has never disappointed me.
Ordering the book was easy. I hope the shipping process goes smoothly
Great selection at very reasonable prices. I have had very good luck with Alibris purchases.
I was able to find the title I wanted very easily and was happy to purchase the book for a great price from Dream Books, a vendor that has been very reliable and responsive in my experience. The email notifications alerting me to the tracking were excellent.
I had a great experience. I appreciate that you take paypal.
It was okay, except the shipping was more than the actual books.
I really appreciated this site and finding where the books are shipping from as well!
So far it looks Great! I can't wait to get the books I ordered.
Available. Correct price. Never had a problem with shipping or receiving.
Good afternoon. Well cared for old important book purchased and received. Alibis has many good conditioned books that are still valuable at a good price.
Total satisfaction - from the huge selection of vendors to receiving the book(s) - always on time and in advertised condition.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
