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.

This site is extremely helpful in not only helping me find books I want, but helping me find the precise copy I am looking for. I have been able to fill out series I have partially bought at yard sales by finding the corresponding ISBN# and publishing date to make sure all of my books match. The prices are also great and I have only had good purchase experiences here so far
Can't say much so far except that the shopping interface was quick and easy.
It was fast and easy, so no complaints. It had the books I was looking for and suggested a book that I wasn't able to find anywhere else.
I received my ordered book several days ahead of the promised delivery date.
Easy to find what I want here and easy to decide what type and quality to choose.
The alibris website became unresponsive when I changed sort order.
Before Alibris, I ordered this out of print book 3 times unsuccessfully from other sellers (orders twice cancelled, once accepted then lost by commercial courrier). I finally ordered from Alibris and received it well-wrapped via the postal service, promptly. Thank you.
All was great! Quick message to me is not 50 characters! 2 more characters!
Very Efficient! Good price, good selection. Have used Alibris before.
I found everything that I was looking for and I love the coupons!
Love the coupons. Price and availability of the books I want.
Thank you!
On time no problems and i don't know what else to say except thank you
All good prices all the time and the selections I want thank you
It would be nice if there was a "continue shopping" button on the checkout page for last minute additions to the cart.
You have so many excellent books on the same subject that it was difficult to choose. I hope I made the right choice. Thank you.
Shipped fast and as described. Would definitely order again
There are not many books on the topic I am researching, hedge schools, but you had one. I received a lovely copy. Thank you.
Very pleased with the price and product! Delivery was also very prompt!
Was good, got a little confused. Had forgotten I was already a member and not a first time customer. All is well
Great deal for great price. Free shipping with coupon sales.
Content of findings in books that are sometimes not available.
I always find great books at a great price. Best way to buy books.
I just love your prices. I recommend your site first to friends and family.
I love Alibris books and I share the site with everyone I know looking for a book.
I have been looking for this book for 20 years and I found it on your site. Thank you!
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.
