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.

You were recommended by a contact at Eighth Day books. Your price for this out-of-print book was the best of the other sites I had looked at.
Found what I wanted right away! Shipping charge was a bit high, though.
All items are on one invoice and they arrive quickly.
Easy to use, awesome shipping price over all check out was awesome
Alibris has found the book I requested and notified me of their find. I have placed an order for the book. Now, we'll just have to see how long it takes to get merchandise from England, post Brexit. I'm waiting anxiously, eagerly. Thanks Alibris and Cambridge Rare Books.
A librarian recommended you. Amazon going leftist is no longer used by me.
You always have what im looking for and great prices
Good, would like be able to leaf thru pages for illustrations.
Well put together and a straightforward of ordering. For the chosen item, the best price as welland the book is conisdered in "good" condition. With thanks.
It was good. There were easy instructions to follow and not too many. The process went quickly.
Found everything I wanted but had sticker shock for shipping!
I haven't received my purchase yet, but the site was easy to navigate and very user friendly.
Your shipping charges are ridiculous... I was prepared to order 5 CD's and bulked together and sent media NO way should that have cost $28. So I reduced my order to ONE CD... the one to replace my current CD that is skipping in places.
Prices very good. Shipping is so so. Website a little hard to read at times, but good variety of choices/selections.
Technical issues on your end... wasn't able to access payment window & Orig. Had a problem accessing seller
Would like to know what a star rating means rather than having to click on the specific website... 2 stars = may have notes on the pages, etc.
As always, finding and ordering books on Alibris was an excellent experience.
It's really easy to use and the deals are really good
Quick and easy. Now let's see if the book is any good
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.

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.
