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 like the price and the process was fairly simple.
Easy to find item, clear description, clear payment options. Fast!
Easy to find. Easy to select options. Easy to order.
So far ordering was easy, had the book looking for in very good condition for a very good price
Grateful for the reprint of this hard to find memoir of my ancestor, Rebecca Crispin Hubbs, published 1853. I originally ordered 2 copies to check quality, was very pleased. Larger book, larger print, clear, easier to read than the original book. Ordered 4 additional books for family gifts and plan on ordering more to auction off during family reunions.
I love the prices, reviews, pictures, and the fact that I can find books on Alibris that I can not find anywhere else.
I always enjoy shopping Alibris and have found There service, quality and shipping (packaging, speed, etc) all superior. Looking forward to this collectable book to add to my medical history library.
Great searches. And, you remembered everything about me at checkout!
I usually find what I want with no worries, and today's no exception.
Love your site, especially the absence of recommendations for other products and ads.
Usually great. Sometimes books take a lot longer to come than I believe they should and several times I have received books that are not in as good of condition as described but overall I am satisfied.
I don't appreciate paying for an item and then hear "it is no longer available." I think the sellers are just seeing if they can get someone to pay more than me. Once I have the copy I just purchased in place of the first, I will re-rate you.
Very easy and found book stores in my area via this site
Always a great selection with fantastic prices. Easy to navigate too. I don't always find what i want but more often than not I do.
First time user, after reading online reviews I felt comfortable.
It took about three weeks to receive the entire order from the different vendors. One of the books received smelled musty, so if this a concern please be aware. I was most impressed by the vendor, Horse Book Plus. They packaged up the books beautifully with a note and a future discount.
Overall, I would order from alibis again!
First time user, after reading online reviews I felt comfortable.
I love your prices. I always find what i need. I'm glad you make it possible to buy from indie used booksellers
Found what I was looking for quickly. Your site is easy to navigate.
I received an email saying I could get $5.00 off with a code. Nowhere did it say that spending $50 was required. Disappointing.
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.
