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 have what I am looking for in a used book when cannot find locally
Thank you! Very efficient. Website easy to navigate for me. Book not available at my library.
Great price and fast check out. A great site with ease of use. Will oder again.
Easy to navigate your website and can often find wonderful books!
Quick delivery. Product in good shape. This used book was delivered in condition described.
Would be nice to have the knowledge of shipping cost before putting into shopping cart or before proceeding with order. (Ebay does this well--makes it easier to keep track of costs and even do comparison.)
Very easy process to order a book. Thank you very much for making it so fast.
Quick, easy ordering. Makes suggestions to save money on postage. Offered a coupon.
Everything shipped together in good condition. Delivery took about one week.
Shipping is reasonable at $495. The book I got was only $2.99 and it was the Encyclopedia of Card Tricks. It has chapters on the four main types of Gaff Cards. Double Back, Double Face, Split Cards, Short Cards
Received everything as described. Will recommend and use again.
So nice to see books at an affordable price. So there you have it.
Inexpensive prices and fast service. I have ordered from Alibris before and have never been disappointed
I am buying a book for a friend and having it shipped direct to him. So far things are going well!
Couldn't find the next book in the series at my library or local bookstore. Alibris had it and I received it the day I finished the book I was reading.
Easy Quick and effortless. Competitive Prices, description of book condition and detailed book content. Found what I was looking for quickly.
This has been my default marketplace for used, out of print, and hard to find books. Quality is always great and the variety of small and large vendors makes finding exactly what I want in relatively good condition simple.
Book took awhile to get here, but arrived in perfect condition.
I contacted the company about time getting to my home. Thought
It was lost. They responded immediately and offered to send another
Copy, but my order came a few days later.
Came properly packaged and as described for a good price. Arrived a little early, too!
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.
