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 don't buy often but I've bought several books and each time has been easy to order, fast delivery, and great prices! I recommend ALIBRIS!
Of all the online used bookstores (including Amazon) you had the best selection and best pricing.
I was referred here by findcheapbooks.com. I'm super excited to find this book in new condition. My CEO at my new non profit job wants me to read it and now I'll be able to take notes and do all the important stuff you do when a book is your own and not a loaner!
Good price for a new book I want. Was quick and easy to order.
Your website is easy to use. I trust your company. You have always provided me with good service. I love it that I can almost always find here the hard-to-find :)
Very easy and simple shopping. I only wish I could have found more books by subject, and not just by title, author, or ISBN.
Every part of the site is easy to use, the search engine is speedy and accurate, and the optimized cart feature is extremely handy.
Where's my $5 coupon. Problems w/the coupons & checkout.
Very easy to find-easy to order. Will use this website again
At least when the packages some from Alibris the service is A 1 quality
Only complaint is that you can't search an authors books by date of print- oldest to newest title.
Dumbfounded by the high price of some of the titles I searched
You always have the books I need for my ministry. Thank you
It was easy to find what I wanted. And I love free shipping!
Easy to find what I'm looking for; lots of options.
Easy to find books, usually. Appreciate the description of the condition of the book.
I spent over an hour on the Alibris website trying to change my form of payment but could find no way to do it. I finally was forced to buy a book in order to change it. This is an incredibly difficult and challenging system to do something which should be easy. Amazon took 2 minutes to change. Fix your website.
My first experience with you is, so far, very positive. Your book selection and prices are very good.
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.
