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.

Always a pleasure to shop here - with people who know and love books and readers.
My family has used Alibris often over the years and we have always been well pleased. They have a great selection, a fine web site and trusty worthy sellers (that are well monitored by Alibris).
It was really easy to find these titles. I love buying from you guys!
I had to type a billing address change at least 5 times, trying to order a book
Found what I wanted quickly. Transaction is seamless
Alibris is a pretty straightforward website that is easy to navigate
I was pleased that you had the item I was wanting in stock. I found the ordering process to be very easy. I will order from you again. Can't wait to get the Psalter!
Alibris didn't have the title but it had the author
Super easy to order
But format was hard to use on iPhone
This is my third order with Alibris.
Previous orders have been available and arrived in a timely manor.
This is my second order from Alibris, if anything like the first time, it will be golden!
So far, so good! Waiting to see if book is in reasonable shape and arrives as promised.
It's a little difficult to follow the instructions online.
Very easy but not sure why there charging shipping when it says free shipping?
Easy process and well suited for fast secure check out
Very happy w/ Alibris w/past & present orders!
Thank you
Reasonable price on books. Wish they would adjust shipping cost because paperback and hardcover shouldn't cost same to ship.
Site went right to the books I was inquiring about
I don't use this site much but when I do it's always a snap.
This is my first order. You say that shipping from some parties takes longer; how can I know where it's coming from? It could make a difference in which I choose.
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.
