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.

Have always been greatly satisfied with your products; team of sellers.
Always a pleasure through Alibris.com
Hey, the shipping charges are getting a little out of hand!
Lol been a shopper for years. Prices great, shipping is expensive usually more than the item, but it's worth it i guess.
LOVE ALIBRIS! Affordable books, always have the books I want/need! The books are always in NEAT CONDITION.
... my first purchase, the website seems easy to navigate a wide selection of titles and very reasonable price points...
Great can't wait to receive them! Gifts for Easter
Ordered 3 books and so far everything went very well.
I had a great deal of trouble getting my card approved. There was no indication of what was wrong. Eventually, I learned that the safety code I was using was messed up because of a transcription error. It took me a half-hour to find the error. I would have appreciated a hint as to what the problem was. I had started out trying at ABE books and came to Alibris in frustration. While here, I figured out my error.
So happy to see this masterpiece that I foolishly lost in college…. It is gold, as gold as the talents of the man for who this is not a celebration and the single least sterile musical compendium-ation
Very happy,,, one of the few last albums I still hunt for… and my arrow has finally hit true and, in the process, I fervently pray, not scratched the discs
I set the search parameters to low price and soft cover but your system keeps changing it back to all bindings and recommended books, regardless of price. You should stop it from changing my settings.
It would be nice if there were filters for finding booksellers on a particular book, e.g. sort by condition or price.
When shopping for multiple items its onerous to try to bundle them under one seller to avoid extra shipping charges. Surely there's a way to enable customers to do this easily?
On my DVD fast. Check out it's simple and self-explanatory.
Found just what I was looking for at a great price!
Good experience and variety. I have not used this website before.
Great service and prices. Always come to Alibris for books. Always!
I'm almost always able to find exactly what I want on Alibris
I love shopping for books on Alibris!
First time user. Super simple without a lot of needles account setup.
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.
