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.

Never knew this existed. What a great way to find used books.
I had a bit of trouble maneuvering at first, but otherwise it's been a. Joyful experience
Good experience, typically low prices (good deals) but expensive shipping (overall very good experience)
Books are usually in good shape and reasonably priced. Alibris is one of three used book sites I buy from. Check my wish list regularly.
Thought I had a 10 dollar coupon, but it came with conditions.
I today received coupon email incl. Free shipping. I saw no way to apply to this order, *******-1
My favorite place to shop. The stream of discount codes sent to me feel like I can always get a good day.
I love Alibris. I usually find what I want at much reduced prices.
This is the second time I have ordered this book please make sure that I receive it this time,
Thank You
Always easy to find what I want and discover new reads.
The coupon code you say expired did not expire or I was misled: the $2.00 deduction appeared until my order was placed and then disappeared.
A great selection of books and the process of buying the books is very pleasing
You always have the best prices for my college course books and you process my order quickly. Shipping is always reasonable and I receive my order quickly. Thank you.
First time ever on this site and had no trouble finding what I needed or checking out.
It was fast & easy and it was very reasonable-no shipping!
Alibris NEVER lets me down! If there is a book, in existence, Alibris WILL find it for you! I have been using Alibris, for about 15 years. I always get what I need. Keep up the great work!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.

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.
