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 am one of the 90 Brothers and Sisters and anxious to read this book. Transaction went smoth
Site was easy to navigate and I actually found the book I was looking for at a book store in my area--happy to patronize a local small business.
I placed an order for 3 books instead of 2 and could find NO way to add the third book back to my order. It was the book on Colossians/Philemon
The shopping experience was simple, easy. Check out with PayPal is appreciated.
So far, all the books I have ordered are ingreat shepe, its the waiting for them to come that is hard. But very worth it
Love the affordable prices and the ease of selecting a book via Alibris.
I always manage to find the books I enjoy.
I don't like that the shipping still says $21.94 and doesn't reflect that it's free until the end. (You will lose customer with the design flaw)
Great! Much better than Amazon! Alibris actually packs books to ship rather than tossing them into a mailer to get banged up
Buying my textbook was quick and easy with Alibris. I have always found buying from them an enjoyable experience.
I hope I get my book in good condition as easily as it was to order.
Easy and lots of selection. I always find what I want.
Always have what I'm looking for. Always received when expected.
Difficult to locate this book but glad i finally did thanks
So far easy and uncomplicated. I'll see how the rest of it goes in terms of shipping and quality of the product versusIt the descriptions.
Not sure if we'll receive all of the books or not. Also, for Media Rate shipping, the prices are high. Of course, if the books are in good condition, it will definitely be worth it. If we receive all of the books, hopefully, I can change my rating.
It looped me back to the front page when I tried to pay for the book?
Easy to find my books. Nice coupons to help cover cost.
I gave purchased from Alibris for many years, I have always received 5 star help
And quality. Actually more stars would apply. Thank you
The shipping rates initially given were not correct (based on my only shipping address) and it took me a while to figure out that if I continued they would eventually get corrected before the final order was placed.
Efficient and I could find the book, which no one else seems to have.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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 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.
