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.

We monitor reviews for authenticity
I wish there were complete descriptions of the books - all of them, not just some of them. I also wish there were reviews on the books, but for the prices on this site I don't mind going to amazon to find reviews and then coming back here. Had very positive experiences buying here.
Hello, I found your information easy to read and your prices are fantastic. Thank you.
Michael
Difficult to enter credit card info. You said info was not correct but it was after 3 entries. You sent me the same last four numbers as on the card. As pain in the $#*!!
I am very pleased with most of the books I've ordered. Thank you.
The methods for accessing the book are overly restrictive. I do not wish to read books either in my browser or in a dedicated Android app, but either on my kobo ereader, or in a phone application of my choosing. I do not sign in to Google on my phone. If the "Bookshelf" app is available as an APK, please let me know.
Easy to follow. No problem ordering. Book delivered in excellent condition.
Found a book I had been searching for at a reasonable price. We will see how the condition of the book is when I receive it.
It's wonderful to find what I am looking for at a reasonable price. Thank you
Alibris is the best place to save on books and textbooks
Glad to find this book -- I would have thought it would be harder to find.
I had know idea this existed. I am very pleased. Gotta try it.
I was having difficult time locating a copy of Karl Stern's book, The Pillar of Fire. I had just completed reading Bernard Nathanson's book, The Hand of God, and wanted to read the book that had influenced him. Alibris was the answer to my dilemma. Thank you..
I have found several out of print books available on Alibris. I am very well satisfied with my experience with Alibris. Thank you
Great source for old and out of print items. Vendors are easy to deal with and shipping is usually very fast.
The ordering pages are totally confusing, as are the "savings" I only stayed with it
Cause I'd already spent so much time.
Has been a convenient, pleasant experience so far.
Amazing website and many options to pick from! The prices are amazing, the items you'll discover is just dang cool.

Item arrived all good, delivery time was good too.
Easy to find what you are looking for and good selection.
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.
