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.

Glad to have found a copy of this book at a reasonable price checkout was quick and easy
Very Good I like the many options available according to condition of the book So far I have received all my orders over the years.
Thank you for your magnificent website for finding and buying books!
I appreciate how simple it was to navigate through this site to purchase this item.
Fantastic guidance and simple procedures...
Cover picture is good, price is excellent and payment choices were well explained and easy to navigate.
Great experience to shop online Alibris. Great selection of authors and titles!
I clicked free shipping and ended up paying tax, 77 and shipping how is that free shipping? Thank you though.
So many hard to find books easily found at a low price.
Okay so far... A time frame of when I will receive my purchases would be nice...
It was helpful having a star rated system for the books.
Combined shipping for multiple books from the same supplier.
So far, so good, the proof will be in the product & how soon it is delivered.
This is the only site I use to buy used books and I recommend it to my friends. Never had a problem. I have used this sight for over 10 years.
My shopping experience was great; very easy and affordable!
Finding the book I wanted was relatively easy. After that the purchase process went smoothly.
I appreciate all of the different options of books, and that I found all 3 random books that I needed. I liked the honest descriptions of the conditions and with 2 of the books was able to have the money go towards nonprofit and reading organizations. I didn't give it 5 stars because the pages were a little cluttered and could have been spaced apart a bit more to make it easier to read.
The shipping went from over 8 dollars to over 10 dollars when the payment was confirmed. I find that upsetting and wonder how I let that happen.
Books I've ordered arrive wrapped and sealed and arrive quickly. Very happy with this company
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.
