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.

My local book store recommended and I am grateful! Quick and way!
Was quick and easy. The good price of the book makes the shipping cost okay. Thanks.
The search option is easy to use the books are very reasonably priced I love this site
Very easy and fast. Used this site exclusively for many years for used books.
Cheaper and I don't have to support Amazon!
My shopping cart was emptied while I updated my login password.
Books moved to cart and at check out no longer available
Thanks for keeping us in touch with so many hard to find resources!
Thank you for being willing to help and sell that which we know works!
Very Quick. I hope the rest of the transition goes as well.
I have purchased from Alibris in the past and have always had a great selection of hard to find titles, an accurate description of the books' condition and timely shipping. I recommend them anyone who loves books.
Books are easy to find. There is a good selection, Web site is professional.
It shows a much lower approximate shipping fee then changes to a higher one once you have entered your payment details.
Pretty easy, hoping that the quality of the book matches what is posted on the site. I've had some difficulty with other sellers.
THANKS coupon code did not work for $5.00 discount coupon. Disappointing. Will you please refund the $5.00 for signing up for your newsletter?
Also no place to let receiver know who this book is from as its is a gift.
All good except no place to include a message to the receiver for a gift.
Well always nice to found books you want to read, but with this order, I am also ordering the CD or MP3 version so I can listen to it in the car! Was trying to special order one audio book from Amazon and would have to wait for it to "get specially pressed" or made to order. So while I am reading this trilogy of books, hope my recent order gets filled so I can move onto the 2nd book! Reader/Listening in Maryland
Very cheap and easy for people who don't want to buy books brand new!
Extreme clear ordering process for technologically challenged old broad!
I ordered a book but the wrong one was sent to me. I am receiving a full refund but they said they couldn't send me my original order and I would have to order it again. Not giving me a great feeling
I like that you do not share my information. Thank you!
Quick and easy to order. Can't wait to receive the book. Thankyou
Absolutely enjoying my Alibris book search and look forward to getting the book I just ordered.
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.
