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.

Just getting textbooks for class. 978-0-7637-3889-1 (ISBN) is 1st edition, yet you have it listed as 2nd edition. I verified on several other websites. Thought you'd want to know.
I'll have to wait until I getthe book to see if it is the one as advertized?
I love getting my books from Alibris. However, I wish their coupons covered all. I can't figure out what the coupon covers.
Very quick and easy! Just ordered so waiting for my product.
I feel that if I buy my books from the same store, shipping should not be so costly.
Thrilled to have found the book, and cheaper than amazon
Love alibris books. Website easy to use and books arrive in good condition. Thank you.
Came here to buy several manga volumes of my hero academia. They are definitely cheaper here than other places like amazon or Barnes and noble. Plus the free shipping helped a lot since I'm buying 9 volumes.
Find this website is very helpful in finding what I want and generally accurate condition information. It is my go to place for used books.
Excellent database of books needed for research project.
Worked fine. Please don't send me email or sell me and or my data!
Very useful and convenient when it comes to finding a book.
Alibris is a fantastic resource for getting hard-to-find books quickly.
Delivery took over a month so there were some complications along the way obviously. It arrived a little battered but not bad for the travels it must have taken and I can only imagine the weight and tumbling it must have endured. Still, a good price and worth the wait from a reliable book seller.
Hopefully, found a new book in excellent condition from a reliable book seller and decent shipping cost.
OK, after changing password. Where's the $5 credit for signing for newsletter?
Had what I was looking for when no one else did. Thank you.
I have quarantined from home, but I really appreciate the option to have books sent to: me at a different, otherwise the books would be piling up at my front door. I also have had great experience with your customer service, they were very efficient. My problem was handled quickly. I didn't feel like it was the first day on the job for the customer service agent.
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. 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.
