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.

Bought a Candlemass dvd I was looking for, and it was shipped by the next day. Awesome!
Site easy to navigate. Available product options accurately described. Pricing reasonable for out-of-print books.
The books were in great shape at very reasonable prices. I received one quickly but one took a little longer.
The book I ordered was exactly as it was described. The price was very reasonable, and the shipping was speedy. Overall, I highly recommend the seller.
Alibris beats the competition. The online format is easy to navigate and attractive. The sellers cooperative (so far). It's an online friend.
I was happy with the availability of the books. The condition of the books was as described. No problem there. Great experience, but I think that if 2 books are ordered at the same time from the same supplier, and then shipped together that there should be some adjustment on the shipping fee rather than just doubling it.
Ordering is fast and easy! Prices are great. Hugh selection of books.
I'm pretty sure I ordered the hardcover edition, I'm not 100% happy to be honest
I had a discount code but the ordering site did not have a place to enter the code.
This is the first time I have used Alibris.
Very good service for finding books. Book was listed as a remainder, but still shrink-wrapped. Great price, and about 10 days shipping to me here down under. Would use the service again
Great shopping experience done with style and ease!
Well I didn't remember my password as I haven't used this site in years but it wax easy to update
It was pretty impossible to track my order unless I signed up for an account. I reached out privately to the seller and did not hear back.
Very fast and easy to navigate this site to find what I want without any hassles and unwanted ads
It was very easy to find what I wanted and sort for price and condition.
Easy to use website. Books and movies are easy to find and satisfied with the service from vendors. Recommend this site to everyone!
I ordered multiple copies of a particular textbook. After processing the order, most of the textbooks turned out to be ghosts--the orders were cancelled and money refunded.
Excellent selection of eclectic titles at amazing prices. Can't go wrong here!
I found the book I wanted at an excellent price, and even with shipping, it was half of Amazon's price.
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.
