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.

Always excellent process for good books on this site. Been a fan for over a decade.
Good selection of books with good prices. I've been shopping Alibris for 10+ years.
Easy. Friendly. Smooth. Good prices. In US, used books, no problem
Excellent selection with meaningful descriptions of the books.
Always have the books I am looking for and it is a quick check out.
Always appreciate a quick shop on your site, thanks and God Bless you all!
Great, thank you, glad you are here for us God Bless
Easy to do, but some shipping prices are TOO HIGH so I deleted them
Thanks appreciate being able to find these for gifts
Found the book I wanted easily and the ordering process was also easy.
Easy shopping on line. Excellent prices and availability!
So easy to shop the Alibris website and a large variety of both new & used books.
I have shopped here before and was well-pleased. I am expecting the same results now.
So far so good. Let's see when and what kind of condition the cd is in
Grateful to discover this route of obtaining books.
It's always easy to shop on alibris. I often want hard copies of books that I read on my Kindle--you never know when Amazon is going to delete something--and alibris is perfect for finding good, inexpensive ones.
First transaction but was certainly easy to process.
Great experience. Book in stock. Shipping options are affordable.
Poor interface. Too many buttons. Not clear. Had to spend too much time reviewing the order form to make sure I was getting what I ordered.
Site is well laid out, shipping was clearly explained and defined, condition of used book was well described, book that was hard to find was in stock. Much appreciated.
Well, I think that the information for shipping costs should be part of the cost base of the book before check out. I did enjoy pursuing the selection of books.
Overall it was a positive experience.
Our tax rate is for unincorporated 2.9%. There was no selection to indicate that.
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.
