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.

Initial ad says book sells for 1.22. Then further options don't include that amount. Very confusing
Nice find at a decent price. Easy checkout process
Quick and easy ordering of a hard to find item
Ali rid is my favorite site to order books. They offer the best prices!
I love shopping with Alibris! I buy most of my books with this shop.
Alibis always has the best price on books! Some books that are difficult to find I have been able to find here and incredible prices.
Had to make multiple attempts today because part of the website was down. I did like the cart optimization option, though
Alibris always comes through with difficult to find books! Thank you
Very easy to find the book I was looking for a quick and easy checkout.
Have ordered books from you for years and always been pleased with the service
Have used your site for years and apart from one time have never had any problems. I did not receive a book I ordered and you gave me a refund.
Transfer to vendor doesn't carry over the actual book you're looking for.
Always good. People are honest in their evaluation of their items, which I greatly appreciate.
Always good service through Alibris!
I love shopping here for books that I can't never seem to find local. Saves time and gas money.
Outstanding! However, on my previous order placed this afternoon for 5 books, shipping should have read $4.49, but instead on several books was $7.98. Why the discrepancy?
My first "Go To" site. Easy, efficient, and it seems they Always have the books I am searching for, with the very best, economical price!
A great price for a book I'm certain I'll refer to again.
Having both the PRICE and the LOCATION of the book means I can choose "closer books". Sometimes my head wants to keep carbon footprint, even for a used book, in check.
Easy purchase. Hope the product is great. If it is, I am doing a Google review.
Consistency of ordering format lends to easy navigation while ordering.
What I want, when I want. Accessible and easy to navigate.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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 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.
