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.

Very easy to use like that the system was not hard to operate
When I first looked on this site for this book there were many more options. After having to reset my password just a few options--all more expensive than my original choice--were the only available choices. Not good.
The book I wanted had been published by three or four different publishers over the years. I only wanted the book from a specific publisher. Alibris, in contrast to all other competitors I checked, was the only one that allowed me to clearly and easily choose the correct publishing company! Kudos!
Quick and convenient and i much prefer to buy used books!
Pretty reasonable, things seem to have gone smoothly.
Very good experience with the best prices in the market!
My experience was very beautiful, I received a USD 3 coupon and I saved USD 10 respect to price in another bookstores.
The prices at Alibris are way cheaper than other sites, plus there is the option to buy used books.
Always happy with Alibris. Prompt delivery. Accurate descriptions.
I enjoy shopping on this site, and will do so in the future
Shipping cost seems expensive is twice the cost of my order?
Love this site always find what im looking for at a good price.
I ordered before as a guest and was happy with service. I received item as described. Prompt delivery also.
All of my shopping experiences with Alibris have been executed with great professionalism from their end.
I am so glad you have this book! My kids loved it, and now I am purchasing this book for a little girl who lives on a farm. At 3 she kisses chickens when they lay eggs for her! Ha! Thanks again!
Found a 'Fine' Used edition of book at a much lower price than other sellers. Book search and checkout uncomplicated and fast.
Excellent service. Postage to Canada too high. Do you have sellers in Canada?
Had trouble with billing/shipping address acceptance
There are great deals on books you can't find anywhere else, especially not with as good prices. I would recommend only ordering from Alibris in Nevada with the truck logo on it. I personally haven'y bought from other sellers but I heard they can be sus.
Website seems great! I found what I wanted and it seems legit. 1st time user so all I'm hoping for now is for my books too arrive and be in new condition^,^
So far so good … will update when delivered. Good reviews
This is the third time I come back to this site. Cheap books
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.
