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.

I love my selections, but feel that the shipping rates are high, especially since only one book seller is involved in sending books, which should be covered by "book rates."
I'm a new subscriber to your respected Facility. Being an optimist, I always hope for the better. That's why I took a leap of faith in making my first order here. Hope this order of mine will reach my destination point as safely as a virgin's dwelling in a monastery!
Fast! You have what I have been wanting to obtain for years!
First time shopper didi not get $5 coupon difficult time getting alibris to accept credit card, would not accept, finally husband got it
My shopping experience today was wonderful! I found exactly what I was looking for at a 'more than' reasonable price! Brava!
You had the textbook that I needed for class, and could not find elsewhere. I am grateful and happy! Thank you!
Shipping should be cheaper & $5 coupon should not have a monetary limit

Alibris is such a great find. I can find almost every book I'm looking for in good condition at a great price.

Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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 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.

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.
