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.

Super deals, super array, super service guys! Thanks & keep up the fabulous work you do. I and students, and book lovers thank you! / A.M.
Your website sucks. It took me 30 minutes to create and account. Then the coupons you are promising don't show up or if they do are invalid.
Great site. Sometimes shipping takes longer than expected though
Every book I have gotten has been in perfect condition
Great first time experience. Quick website access.
Love the old fashioned, very English politeness of your website.
Such an amazing list of books to purchase on one easy site.
Would be nice to have some top-seller or recommended/curated lists. If you already know what you're after, the site is great, clean, quick.
Great ordering is very easy thank you i will continue doing business with you
Found what I wanted and got it ordered easily, plentiful choices. Website functions appropriately.
I was looking for an inexpensive shelling book to send my younger sister who makes crosses using leftover lumber and seashells
Quick and easy navigation of site - excellent selection of books to pick from.
Quickly found item I was looking for at a much cheaper price than other venues.
Have ordered many times and I am always very happy with the service and quality.
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.
