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.

Love the selection and user-friendly website. Always a wonderful book hunting experience.
It was quick but I would have liked for there to be a description of this book such as what recipes were included.
Love how quickly we receive our order. The cost is nice too.
Couldn't be happier with service and pricing. I recommend to my friends.
Always shipped on time and the site is very easy to navigate!
Great prices, not too fond of the shipping fee prices
If everything goes smooth from here it was excellent
Very simple to use. Found everything I was looking for.
No problems doing this. I will be interested to see how long it takes to deliver. It was a very easy experience.
Lots of choices and good prices for some obscure books.
You have bad coupons that you have to pay close attention to delete. It's not horrible but it's a concerning sign from a website.
Found the books I was looking for and you have good information on the condition of the books and the rating of the sellers.
This is so easy and the prices are so great! You can't beat this with a stick!
Disappointed that Black Bolshevik isn't available at a reasonable price
Alibris is my favorite go-to site when I want to purchase a certain title.
Always appreciate shopping on Alibris website! Usually find exactly what I am wishing for :)
I wish that it didn't add the shipping total for books that are qualified for free shipping. It removes them right before you place the order, but it is still confusing whether you have qualified or not when looking at your cart.
I tried to log in using my Cornell address. I was rejected so I asked to have an update for my password and tried three times over the course of two hours and got nowhere. So I used another non-Cornell address and registered as a guest. This was a waste of my time.
I am pleased with the selection of books that you have. I am only giving a middle of the road rating because this is my first time to use your sight and want to see how service/delivery is handled.
So glad to find books at cheaper prices, but wish the shipping wasn't so high.
Easy to find title under search. Multiple used books
Would not accept my password. Very annoying. Had to go on as "Guest".
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.
