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.

Almost all the time I received books like new. I love books.
Good prices. A little expensive on shipping, but original book was discounted to make up for it.
Alibris nearly always has what I'm looking for, even when I'm occasionally looking for something out of print - such a wonderful site for bibliophiles!
The cost of the book is so complicated between tax coupon shipping and dealoz cashback. Not straightforward. Shipping on Dealoz not same as on Alibris
Easy & fun! Wish there would have been a choice of adding a note to the shipping for instructions for delivery. Also would be nice to know ahead of time what ompany is handling the shipping.
It was good to see I could get this item almost locally in Texas. I hope it arrives before Friday Dec 17th to use in my Bible History class.
I wish if I am buying from one warehouse. That shipping could be adjusted more fairly
Found what I wanted at a good price. Website is much upgraded since my last visit. I'll shop here again.
Easy interface, quick filters, very clear cart and shipping summaries.
Website has problems with increasing quantity. Customer needs to define at start not finish. Customer Service costs me a $40 purchase w/discount by delaying my order as book went out of stock during wait time. Ordering process needs improving for customer human factors.
Easy to order from your website - good service OK!
I love recycling books. It's so much better for the environment and a great way to re-use all that knowledge!
When I look at the book listing it gives a price and shipping amount of $6. And change. When I go to Checkout it demands $15.00 for shipping. I should be told that the shipping will be $15. Per book at the original listing.
Very efficient user friendly. Some act as is they don't want to sell their wares. Bad business all around thanx
I've been shopping with you for over twenty years. Always have been satisfied. Many thanks for the many books.
Thanks for having "Stumps" by Stella Austin. It was my mother's favorite book when she was little.
Should estimate full charge at first rather than at end. I
I left Abebooks because of Amazon and now you have a new customer/
Site is easy to use! Found what I was looking for at less than half of the cost I would have paid on Amazon Prime even after the shipping costs! Happy customer!
All very good, but don't know why my phone number was automatically added to shipping address at some point in the last couple of web page forms.
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.
