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.

Completed order in 5 minutes. I have been dealing with Alibris for over 20 years and I have never had a problem with them. Most of the books I order are ones I have read and I am getting them for friends.
Experience was nice & smooth, will be back for more books soon. Thanks
It was very easy to find the book I was looking for! Thank you!
Sincerely, Lydia Simoneau
I landed from a DuckDuckGo search on exactly what I was looking for and the checkout process was easy and straight forward. Most websites are borderline jarring between advertising and attempts to be *too helpful*. Alibris is a rare and pleasant experience. Thanks.
We really enjoy Alibris. You just never know what you'll find. I always recommend this site to all book lovers!
Replacing a book I let slip away... very timely read.

Shipping is a bit high but found what I was looking for and then some!
There had to be an online site glitsch. I was notifir=ed there was a site problem. I entered coupon code PAINT as my 2 orders were over $25. But the order was split into 2 separate ones, so NO discount!

Awesome. Always get great results from Alibris and plan to use them forever.
Shipping is high when ordering multiple items from one seller.

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.
