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.

Fantastic to find a great book. Ordering was easy and website user friendly.
Re-setting my password on my phone was difficult. The font size was about 3 on my phone. No option to view my password reset. Took me about 10 times to get the passwords to match. I'm elderly, and cannot see well
At this point, things look pretty good in the way of finding the book I wanted.
Everything is very easy to navigate and I'm can't wait for my books to arrive!
I may be having a few technical problems with my browser and/or my firewall. It keeps stalling my PayPal interface screen and it doesn't return me to Alibris. I appreciate having the credit card interface as an alternative.
Great selection presented in a very clear fashion so i can sometimes choose the condition while considering price.
I have bought many books thru Alibris from many different booksellers - I always give Alibris 10 Stars!
I love shopping here, I easily find what I'm looking for!
So easy to move around the site, found exactly what I was looking for!
I appreciate the price of the books. Too bad the shipping costs so much.
I was thrilled to find this CD. I first heard the song How Many Biscuits Can You Eat just a few days ago.
Easy to navigate website, low shipping cost of the book, PayPal available for checkout. All good. Thanks.
Sensible, easy website, making it easy to order.
Easy to find what I was looking for and good descriptions of the book and its condition.
Shopping here is very easy so far, first-timer to your company.
OK but i did not ask for my credit card number to be saved!
Easy to order as a first time user! I love used books for a great purpose with fabulous prices!
I find the postage high for paperbacks. This is my first time ordering
Found the item I wanted easier than on other sites.
So far this has been quick and easy. Hopefully, it arrives quick and in good shape.
Easy process to order, I hope all is well with delivery. Thank you!
First time user. Seems like an easy affordable site.
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.
