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 wound up paying just as much by the time the inflated shipping was processed than I would have paid anywhere else. It looks like when one orders from the same company, they could have a cap... I cut my order a lot.
I could not find this book available anywhere else online. Thank you so very much for stocking this most basic of all American Writings.
Easy-to-use website, no waiting around for it to respond.
I got two of the 3 books I wanted at a discount. But the 3rd, by the same author, was not listed for free shipping.
Never been to this site before but I will looking for other artists in the future.
You had the out of print book I was looking for at a reasonable price so I am very pleased.
Always able to find what I want in the best condition at an incredibly reasonable price.
I was promised a $5 for coupon for submitting my email and did not receive it.

A quick message about your shopping experience so far
It appears you are charging me tax on shipping. Is this normal?
I love that I can find the books I need at discounted prices.
I was able to find math curriculum for my daughter.
Found the somewhat obscure book I was looking for in the edition I wanted, in acceptable condition, at a lower price that I had seem elsewhere, all in minutes...
Have ordered either two or three books and each one has later been cancelled and selling for higher price ( not sure but seems so)
I have a book which sells on Amazon and was thinking of doing business with you but this does not give me any confidence,. Although you were recommended by a good friend. Thanks you Sue Beer
It was most satisfactory finding titles and authors easily
I was glad to see the book on Alibris and look forward to receiving it.
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 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.
