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 received book as promised. Condition was described accurately.
Best used book site! I send my students here to buy used textbooks.
Post Office was inconsistent in the book's arrival time. It did eventually arrive in tact on either June 20th or June 21st. I wasn't home at the time and a friend picked up my mail on June 22nd.
With extremely rare exception every thing has been perfect over the years I've been in a user. Thank you, Alibris.
Slow to process; your site or my connection? Who knows?
This is to make 50 characters.
Alibris is easy to use - easy to find books that I am looking for and that are available.
It was very easy to do, and while I have read this book years ago, I wanted a hard cover copy to own.
So happy to find a copy of Niall Williams book, even though I had read it years ago, I couldn't find my hardcover copy after I moved - until now!
Satisfactory
10 days from order to delivery in excellent condition
You provided many options on the price after I went online to look for a bargain price and a book that was in good condition.
Quick purchase. Good price, hopefully I receive it in mail.
It was worth the wait, which was a little long (but I'm in Canada). I like the old artwork on the dust jacket, which is why I chose an older edition. It's in very good shape, despite being a used book.
I could answer this question if you had identified the article I ordered on June 11.

Easiest way to locate and acquire books which are hard to find
Huge selection of titles, condition and prices. If you as customer are not happy, it's YOUR fault!
My book arrived in the mail. Unfortunately it was shipped to a family members address by accident.

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.
