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.

It was still kind of expensive in my opinion but way cheaper than Amazon and barnes n noble.
This website does not seem safe. I am hoping for the best since I am a broke college student
So awesome to get quality books at a huge discount! I can create a library with everything I am finding for an affordable price, thanks!
I love your wide variety of books and the highly rated vendors
Why can't Alibris give a bigger discount when customers purchase more books? $3 off $25 is 8.333% - $5 off $75 is 7.5% - and $10 off $140 is only 7% when a customer spends more money, why? I think Alibris can do better than that.
Easy to use, lots of options, the cherry on top would have been an image of all the products.
Not sure anymore whether or not I will actually get delivery
I would like an easy way to consolidate sources of the books to reduce shipping charged
Easy to navigate; excellent selections; unbeatable prices.
So far so good as this is my first purchase on this site. That they even had this product is amazing and that alone makes me VERY HAPPY with my experien ce, and so, if the product is what it is advertised to be, then I will be a regular on alibris!
Ordered book you cancel the order then tell me to reorder and pay again.
Will not be shopping with you again.
There is nothing much to say. I completed the order online without any problems and it went through.
The price is ok for the book I bought although I wish there was an earlier shipping option, because I need it for school very soon. I did not want to sign up for anything else to be sent to my email, because it is my school email, but the box was already checked and super small so I didn't notice until I already bought the book and I can't go back to change it. I don't want emails about coupons or anything else.
Relatively easy to navigate and locate books- have not used much of the filters
I don't know how many years, but it's been YEARS that I have relied upon and used Alibris Books! LOVE'em!
Appreciate the easiness of this website and the super competitive prices. Stay open!
I just think you should be more up front about the $5 coupon for signing up for email. It's $5 when you spend $50. Just be up front about it. Thanks.
Placed an order 0n Aug. 14,2021, More Books was one of the vendors on the order. Book was supposedly shipped on Aug. 17 as of today, Sept. 1 we have not received our order from them, no tracking # or status updates.
Needed this book quickly and you are more quick than Chegg!
Shopping has been easy and had my textbooks that I was looking for.
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.
