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.

No problems yet: but I have not received my book yet.
Creating a password did not give me the option of creating a user name.
Quick search, easy checkout and …. Found books in Italian!
So far, it's been easy to order and price seems fair.
My experience was as I expected it would be. I'm satisfied.
Alibris always has exactly what I need and ships it quickly! Thank you for supporting this aspiring historian!
Great prices on books I need for school! Excellent condition and very fast shipping.
It was easy to find and apply coupons at checkout.
These are books I didn't expect to find for this price.
Great place to shop! Good prices and easy to navigate,
Alibris is always my go to when I can't find a book someplace else.
Good details and very informative about options to purchase the book of your choice.
Please make sure this gets delivered to me, secured doors must call or leave with office did not get first order from another seller of this book.
Easy to navigate, and I like seeing the location of each bookshop, so I can coordinate purchases and save on shipping.
I found everything I was looking for--including hard-to-find items. I can always count on alibris for rare and delicious books!
The checkout process was cumbersome. There should be a drop-down for State names, and the zip code option should be stated as just the 5-digit zip code because adding the +4 seemed to present difficulties.
Easy to use and order, confident due to the successful transactions of the past
Excellent - many choices for each book, a good deal of information by which to choose books, plus easy to use.
Very easy to find what I want at the price I want.
I signed up three times for the $5.00 coupon and it was never received.
Your website is not easy to follow or navigate. There are several suggestions I could make if time permitted. It is not easy to go back and add to your order once you hit the check-out icon. After hitting it, is when you reveal that the $5.00 savings is for orders $50 or more. Then, it is difficult to continue shopping. The fact that shipping costs is not revealed until after you place the order is disturbing. There are other issues with your site as well.
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.
