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.

Great options of books to choose from depending on whether you need new or used copies of books. Some of my books have been passed on to others, and some I have kept in my library for references in the future. The prices are usually below market price!
Love this web site & look forward to placing many orders in the future!
You have the books I want, at prices I'm happy to pay. Thank you!
Happy to see they have 2 of the 3 books I am looking for.
The website is fast and easy to use, the range of titles is excellent, and the prices are great. What's not to like?
Alibis has always been my first choice for buying books.

When I purchase books for my classes, I usually buy them from alibris, because they are priced affordably and the service is great quality.
Books arrive as expected. Takes some time to receive orders from the States, otherwise, I have been very happy with Alibris, and will continue to use your services in the future!

When reviewing my order I didn't see the detail of hardcover on one of my books. I wanted to check but couldn't get back to the item to see if it was hardcover or not.
I also would have liked the option for a gift receipt when changing the delivery address to a grandchild's address.
Otherwise love this site!
Saw same item on Abe Books... Alibris had a coupon, they didn't! Saved 8 bucks (over 10%) with Alibris!
It's good, I like how it's set to give you many different price options for the same book
First time shopping here. Cheap prices and a great selection.
I once got the wrong book but it's fine bc my stepdad read it lol
I buy specific books from multiple platforms. Alibris is among the easiest and quickest.
Easy to navigate website. Everything laid out simply and clearly. All instructions easy to read and follow.
Wish there were more large print books available. Updating my payment information was frustrating - seemed as if there were some systems issues.

Easy to find books, good prices. Would like to see shipping reduced when you buy more than one book from a vendor.

Thanks for low prices, free shipping, and easy to find coupon codes.
I find the shipping cost for purchases of over 10 books at a time to be excessive. I totally get the shipping cost for one or two books, but when someone buys 30 books from one vendor they should not be charged $90 in shipping. Pretty ridiculous.
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.
