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.

This website & within Alibris.com was very fast, & also including a casual option for not creating an ID & Password within. And all following pages with the order were very simple, while clearly not presenting more soliciting options for including repetitive emailing.
Thank You for providing need material for pleasure and business.
I ordered 3 books but received 2 of them were the same. Tom

Service in the past has been excellent. Looking forward to more good service!
I love Alibris so much. I come here to treat myself to a new book or two, and I come here to buy gifts for others.
It's pretty easy to find specific books.
I would also like to be able to find books by category.
Always a smooth experience. Great selection, well presented, with no fuss.
Service excellent, have never been disappointed in a purchase
Love this site! So many titles(movies) that just cannot be found elsewhere, or can't be found without cost of an arm!
All good so far. I am pleased with my experience over the past year or so. Thank you.
It's easy and you have more options to choose from a great variety of books
It's very simple and enjoyable experience and there is a wide range of books in almost all subjects
Overall, a good experience. Prices are excellent and the site is reasonably easy to use if a little dated.
Everything is super easy from finding the item thru checkout even as a guest checkout.
Always an easy experience to navigate, find the books I'm looking for, and quick check out
Fast and easy to find what I need. The description of the book is usually accurate at great prices
Easily found a book I'd been looking for for a couple of years. Couldn't recall the title but Advanced Search turned it up on the first try.
Scan did not save card info and I had to enter it manually.
I was pleased to find the offerings I was looking for and the great prices.
Very simple! User friendly, and clear guidance throughout.
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.
