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.

I always find what I want... and more -- absolutely every time!
I'm able to find older TV shows on dvd, which makes it that much more enjoyable, thank you
Found a tv show on dvd and was reasonable price. Some older tv shows are getting harder to find, so great find
Books arrived promptly, in good shape. I was pleased with the variety of foreign language books available.
Love that you have children's books in Spanish, and have great prices.
It told me I only needed 5 more dollars for free shipping and then the majority of the books added $4.99 per book for shipping. Maybe it listed the shipping on the screen somewhere, but I didn't see it.
Shipping charges were higher than expected but otherwise a very good experience!
EZ & simple. A good experience except for the requirement to use a minimum of 50 letters for the message.
The book took much longer to come than anticipated. It was in perfect condition otherwise.
Waiting for product that SHOULD BE HERE TODAY, but U.S. MAIL has already delivered... Trying again with a movie, because this is a GREAT MOVIE!
So far, so good. Would be nice to know ESTIMATED DELIVERY Date!
... Source for all your "progressive", socialism, class, society book needs. All levels of new/used, paper/hard backs & price points. ๐๐๐๐๐
The best price, reasonable shipping. Rapid transaction. The whole deal.
Everything about these folks is top drawer - the promptness in mailing, their helpfulness with any questions you may have, and the fantastic! Breadth and depth of their book caches. I have so often found books here which I cannot find anywhere else. Anymore I just come here :))
An excellent inventory of books. I can always find the book I'm looking for. They keep you informed on when your book has shipped. They're my go-to for my book addiction.
Excellent fast response time. Books are always of good quality. A vast selection of titles. I keep going back to Alibris and have never been disappointed in their service.
Delivered well inside delivery window in condition advertised very satisfied customer thank you.
Good quality and consistent service today. Thank you again.
Ease of use, ability to find what I want at reasonable price used in decent condition. Smooth sailing so far in placing order quickly.
Very user-friendly, but I would like to have the opportunity to gift a book to a separate mailing address
Good prices and availability on Old books. Easy to find!
Good experience, book arrived in timely manner and is as described.
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.
