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.

Always my "go to" site when I come across anything I'm interested in. Love to buy used if I can
In used books, the scrolling section is not easy on the eyes.
I was happy to find such a selection and at such great prices!
I have enjoyed my shopping with Alibris, I have been impressed with the quality of the used books that I have purchased.
Very good selection and quick to resolve issues. Easy to use website.
I have used this site in two countries over the past 30 years. As expected, it was another short easy visit. Cheers from New Zealand.
I've recommended it to all my friends. It's the ONLY place to buy books. Often much less expensive than Amazon.
I have a huge probability of finding books that I am searching for here. Very good experience.
I like browsing here for random media that I decide I want.
My 1st time -- found the book Amazon deducted from my acct over 2 weeks ago and hasn't delivered paperback $69.98 (used) Alibris hardback new $72.31
A is for Amazing Alibris definitely not Amazon
Great. Found one of my favorite music CD's which I had on tape originally and was destroyed. Feeling excited to have it back.
Excellent could only find this book with your company
The prices are great and the coupons are marvelous.
I am an older person with eye problems. Consequently, the log in process for members is time consuming and difficult. Name all the water hydrants; motorcycles; crosswalks etc. is so difficult and time consuming I have to give up
And come in as a guest. Check out Biblio site much easier.
Easy so far. Surprisingly user friendly. I hope it's all secure.
Have been an Alibris customer for years. They are always reliable with a great selection of items they stock and great service as well.
You make it easy and fun, and I delight in receiving the books! Thank you
I had an amazing experience last time I ordered even though the books were shipped back due to my fiancé not being able to receive them.
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.
