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.

Great experience! I liked nice and easy shopping and check out. The discount and coupon helped a lot, thank you so much, I am very pleased 😀
Very quick and easy- search was fast, good selection of items to choose from
Nowhere to enter discount code before checking out. Good price.
I don't like $14 for shipping-should be less at book rate. I didn't want to take time and compare to others I use.
Your shipping is too high. I ordered more books from Thrift Books.
Books were in great condition very happy with the purchases
User friendly! Easy to understand. I was happy to get coupon codes too!
Easy to track, my books arrived without issue. Will continue to order books from Alibris.
Alright so I was listening to a cover band, right, like the kind that just play all the songs you know. And for whatever reason it reminded me of (Linkin Park) I don't know where it is so I'm buying the movie from 2003 they made for my cousin because I'm good at telling when babies have defects.
I was looking for this rare out of print sewing book. The price seemed too good to be true, but they delivered! Awesome book, amazing price.
On time and as described. I can't think of anything else but the review is supposed to be 50 characters long.
Easy to order. Good price. I found the book I was looking for.
Excellent. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I ordered a book for my sister and had it sent her her address. The order will ship promptly. Book was in great condition.
Great selection, Good service
Always a great selection of books!
I'd like the shipping charge would be a little bit less for Thailand.
I recommend alibris to others as a good company to deal with.
Book ordered ended up not available but a replacement was put in my cart. That's ok.
Easy to locate subject; easy checkout. Well designed website. Thank you.
Always loved and used Alibris. Trusted sellers. Quick and easy. Can track my items. And they almost always are almost new at a very low price. I always recommend Alibris to all my friends and family.
I don't read books as often as I should. But this is my go to place for every book. AND I always tell my friends and family about Alibris. I was recommended this site by one of my cousins. Word of mouth is always best. Thank you Alibris!
Purchasing $39 in book/movie did not generate free shipping 7/17/2025 on those items.
I didn't like the fact that I had to buy more to get the $5 discount
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
