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.

Why is shipping charge increased by $1.00? Shipping costs twice the cost of my book!
You need to show discounted books immediately and more prominently.
Always love coming to Alibris, except I always leave with more than I came to get! Great Store.
Delivered as advertised. Thank you! Alibris is a great alternative to Amazon (who also own AbeBooks). Thanks for your assistance in helping me not give money to Bezos
You found a copy; I'm pleased you persevered on my second request attempt.

It's probably a little too easy to order! About half of my personal library is down to you folks.
As usual, all my orders came with proper notification. Thanks!
As always, I ordered more than 1 book - 3 this time. They all arrived, the 3rd took a while, and I am delighted to have them. And I appreciate that you follow up to make sure they were all delivered.
It was very good, i love the coupons, cheap prices, and free shipping, but it would be nice if the free shipping was confirmed earlier, because i thought it wasnt working and almost didnt buy from here.
Quick and fast and easy! Thanks so much! Much appreciated!

Two books were ordered the same day. First book arrived. All good for now. Well packaged, description good, appreciated is that I am asked if the book arrived. And what to do if not. Good experience.
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.
