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.

Good prices. Straightforward shopping experience. Paypal available.
I love shopping at Alibris. The site is well organized easy to navigate, so I can buy from small businesses instead of you know who.
Quick, simple & straightforward, just as it should be, thank you.
It is easy to find the books I am looking for and to order them. I have had no trouble ever with any of the sellers or the books I have ordered
Easy and intuitive website - has the books that I am looking for.
I love this site! I always find the books I want at a better price than new ones!
Everything on you website was perfect. Also, the book was in excellent condition!
Used iPhone to fill out form as a new customer. When I hit "continue" I was looped back continually. Gave up! Tried again later and finally got thru
Very easy to find whether or not a copy that fits my needs can be found.
Excellent prices and past shipping and packing experience was great. I will always look here when the need arrives!
I was gonna say "Great" but you wanted more than 10 characters. Tom Sawyer, Lassie, Matilda, Mr. Ed, Cherchez La Femme, Judd, Frosty the Snowman, Stuart Little, Yan, Flicka, Flipper, Hagrid.
Easy search and selection process. It's always nice to patronize an alternative to Amazon.
Alibris offers titles that often aren't found any where else. The website is user friendly. Always a good experience.
The website and cart are easy to use and load well!
The book I wanted was available which made my experience perfect since it's a hard to find book
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.
