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.

Alibris has most everything and shopping online with them is rewarding. Found two books I needed and I look forward to their arrival.
Found desired book and placed my order. Very efficient!
Quick and easy site to find new and used books. First time buyer, had no issues finding what I was looking for.
I found the book that I was looking for, offered by a reputable seller at a fair price.
Your company makes it so easy for me to feed my literary addiction - thank you! I've been shopping from Alibris for many years.
Your company is feeding my addiction, and I love it!
Looked on quite a few sites but here's where I found what I was looking for. Clear info appreciated.
Great! All books have arrived in condition they were listed in, and usually fairly quick.
Love this site! My only trouble now is finding space on my bookshelf for all my new books!
Very easy finding what I wanted, very clear instructions and options and charges. Thank you!
The shipping costs are really high, esp. For paperback books. Also, although my order was over $55, it would not let me use any of the discount codes. I assume that's because your order has to total that amount before shipping. That seems misleading.
Ordering was quick and easy. However, I'm not able to update my phone number, only address or credit card info.
Quick easy to look up items easy checkout and like having PayPal option to pay.
Don't know if it is my computer, but do not like the way the screen cuts off on the right side that shows the prices. Cannot seem to fix this. Could it be something on your end?
Excellent quality in used book vendors and prompt delivery. Love not giving my money to Amazon
I love finding great quality hardcover books here and especially enjoy finding used book vendors in Texas through your site.
Website is very easy to use and your selections are excellent
Smooth ordering process but no receipt upon submitting the order.
I love this site. I have never had a problem with receiving my books in a timely fashion. Keep up the good work!
To many questions and since I don't buy often I wanted to do it as a guest and they did not allow it.
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.
