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.

Excellent. The product was described as fair. To me, it looked brand new.
Easy to find things on the site. Easy check out. Great prices.
It was very easy to make this transaction. Straight forward.
I hope the book is in good condition and that shipping is expedient.
I can never get to order as a guest. I don't want to be a "member," I want the freedom to check out as a guest. PLEASE, HOW DO I DO THIS? Is the solution to cancel my "membership?"
Your website makes checking out a nightmare.
I do not want you to save my credit card information. There should be an option to check out as a guest if necessary to avoid this.
I was unable to find a copy of a volume 3 belonging to a certain manga series until I found it on Alibris. I ordered it to be delivered to my location in Eastern Canada from the United States. The purchase was fulfilled by Adventures Underground/Caterpillar Cafe in Illinois. The book arrived in decent time, in brand-new condition, and amazingly safe from the travels it underwent. The item had been incredibly thoroughly and thoughtfully packaged. Beautiful! Lately I've discovered that I can find books on Alibris that I haven't been able to locate anywhere else, and usually cheaper. As a collector of yuri manga, I value this resource highly.
I've used alibris for years -- because they get the job done.

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 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.
