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.

I enjoy searching for the best priced item and finding several.
Easy to browse and order, even on a mobile device.
You provide many books unavailable elsewhere. I can always find what I'm needing here.
Was able to find what I need so quick. I'm awaiting my Bible guide and I hope "good" condition stands true!
My experience was fast accurate, and friendly/ easy to manage. Thanks guys
1st purchase from this seller. Only looking for 1 book which I found at a good price.
I couldnt be sure of the publication date od the book at checkout.
Thanks for having so-o many books and movies at great prices!
Quick and easy. I chose this seller because I didn't have to set up an account to order.
Payment is simple but when notified a book was available by the time I went to buy it was gone. Quickly found another.
Great, easy, but would put a button to allow "continue shopping" on checkout page. I wanted to go back and choose a different seller closer to shipping destination but did not want to risk losing all the info I put in. Also for people who are thinking they might purchase something else right at the end of the process.
It was okay. Would have been helpful to see shipping included in every seller before checking out
Great selection and search platform, all was fine. Dennis
Books always arrive quickly and in good expected condition.
It would be nice to know which shipping carrier will be used and to have an option for faster delivery
My selections were held long enough so I could finish my order the following day.
Was easy to find everything, love the different book options and details
Hopefully this cookbook will help me because of my illness.
Found the book that I was looking for very quick and at a great price. The shipping charges were not outrageous. Very happy with this site so far!
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.
