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.

First selection was not actually available. Refund was acceptable
I shopped around found you were 50% less expensive. Thank you so much...
The selection is great, shipping cost is too high!
Love this website! I can find everything I have been looking for and more!
Great website and found the books I was looking for with ease!
I don't see anywhere in my account info to change/add/delete a billing address or CC info. This seems to only be available during a purchase checkout. PLEASE CHANGE THIS.
Hi I'm a walrus named Claude. I would like to see more asparagus in your product line please. Could you please have more songs about the joy of mowing my lawn?
I love getting great books for pennies on the dollar!
Whenever I need a book I come here and so far they have always had it!
Always easy to find the books I'm looking for at a great price.
I have ordered before and am always happy.
This time and previous times I've ordered from here I've been pleased.
Very easy to find Out of print book and order. Thanks
3 clicks and I ordered the book I'm looking for. Doesn't get any easier than this!
As always, easy to order from Alibris.
The checkout process would benefit greatly from an "add a note to seller" field. This is standard on this sort of site.
I usually do my shopping at Thriftbooks because their shipping charges are less, but I wanted this particular book.
The only people who would ship to Canada at a decent rate.
Great site. Better price on this book by far than on other used book sites.
I wish there was something to be done about the shipping costs.
Always find what I'm looking for on Alibris. Great place for gift purchases.
The process is a smooth, unencumbered one, and I appreciate the coupon savings.
Check Out is more sensitive in some Browsers than others.
Great place to find good used and new book.
VERY LUCIDLY ORGANIZED, SUCCINCTLY EXPRESSED PURCHASING OPERATIONS DISCLOSURES & SPEEDY: NO TIME WASTED!
1 book only came "unbound." Should be highlighted!
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.
