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.

Easy to order and decide which edition and condition of book you'd like. Plus I enjoy seeing where and from which store books are shipping from.
We use Al Libris to find discounted copies of great books and hard to find books. Terrific network of used books stores makes Al Lib's a perfect and frugal shopping experience.
I've got everything on time in good shape for a good price. I have never dealt with them before. And honestly had never heard of them before, but all went well.
Ease of use and breadth of selections as well as availability of rare finds
Ease of this website is a pleasure for researching often hard to find items!
Found what I was looking for easily Thank you! Hoping it's the exact copy that I want!
I was looking for a pair of books. I found the first being sold at a decent price. I checked each seller to see if they had the accompanying book. Finding both from the same seller at a good price put my mind at ease. Communication of shipping and order processing was easy and quick.
Easy to use site. Always have the used books I'm looking for in good condition.
I try to purchase used books from your site all of the time. The books are always in good condition!
This book is very scarce. The book arrived after a reasonable wait and was purchased at a good price..
I am a happy camper. Love the book. Will shop here again when wanting a good price.
Looking forward to my purchase. Great price on this. Thank s
I was happy to find the books I wanted at affordable prices. The shipping costs were high though!
I wish it were possible to check availability of books by bookstore.
Quick and easy. I was able to find what was looking for without any trouble.
I have always loved Alibris! I feel safe buying from them! The quality of the books I've received has been very good!
Nice and easy setup for purchase of a book that I've been looking for, for a while!
Love Alibris. Always accurate and works every time. Great site to work with.
The book is exactly what I expected. There seemed to be a delay in the postal delivery time. Other than that I was pleased.
I'd like to change my payment method, but couldn't see where to do it on the main page (where you can change your address, for example).
Excellent site and good service. I always check Alibris first when I need a book.
Prices were fantastic--and then i got to the shipping costs:-(
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.
