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.

Very well organized. 79 year old found it a smooth experience.
Books in very good condition. I'm impressed. Will order again.
Instant gratification. Found exactly what I wanted at a great price. Couldn't be better.
Easy to find books wanted. Disappointed tho about the coupon advertised. It should include shipping fees.
No place to enter discount code. Audiobooks and mp3's should have their own category.
I have purchased many books from Alibris in the past. Excellent resource.
So far so good, but then again i love alibris so im not surprised to easily find what i want at GREAT prices. Thanks Alibris... keep up the great job you always do for me. You made my quarantine much easier.
Very please, also happy to find reasonable shipping cost... Thanks
SubhanAllaah wal Hamdulillaah!
I'm really liking this site, being that I am an Autodidact, I have a LOVE for books to fuel my Self Directed Learning and until now Amazon has been my go-to for this purpose. alibris.com is quickly becoming where I search first (I've purchased at least 15 books in less than a month!)
Thanks for having a quality site, quality partners, and doing a quality job!
I am surprised that sales tax was applied on the shipping charge as well as the product.
The first time I have ever shopped Alibris. Found a great bargain and checkout was easy.
Good discounted prices on recently published books.
This is my 3rd order for a total of 6 books. I have received 5 to date and am very pleased with books condition and delivery. Thanks
Hard to find book at a great price. Love you guys!
I love alibris. I have always found everything I wanted... some took a little time but always came up -- at a reasonable price.
Simply amazing and ridiculously affordable. I love it!
Always easy to find good used books. And after reading a book from a particular author, I like to order their other titles.

Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
