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.

Everything as expected and quicker than! Shipped same day and was here shortly after.
It was easy to order. Prices were good. Books came before expected and were in good condition.
Good prices, timely delivery, books in good shape, wide variety, easy ordering
It was easy to order the book and I received it in a good condition, and fast.
Very useful, so far so good. I've started this mission, and am determined to finish it. The book helps in different areas of my home and mental status.
The customized bookmark with a place for an attached pen is a great gift for readers who like to read and underline, or make notes.Always a hit with the recipient.
Alibris is a good on line book seller. Great selection and reasonable prices.
Easy to order and find just what I was looking for at a good price.
Quick processing and quick mailing. Love reading Fr. Chris Alar's books. Great seller.
Best place to find books at great prices! There is hardly a book that I haven't found here with Alibris.
Very smooth! The book arrived as scheduled, and was exactly what I ordered.
Shopping experience was easy. Only have watched one disc so far but it was shrinkwrapped new, unopened so expect to be a good buy. Shipping was quick and well packaged.
The book was as advertised by the seller. I was satisfied with the transaction.
Came fast and in perfect condition. Would not hesitate to buy from them again.
I ordered 2 DVDs from Alibris and I definitely will again. The service in itself is very coherent and helpful in finding what I want for a cheap price! However the seller I had cooperated with was only-semi comprehensive and gave me the wrong disc the first time. But the second one came out in perfect condition without a problem. Alibris was able to assist me with these issues though, and get in reach with the seller. I will definitely buy from Alibris again!
Your standard shipping price is on the high side, especially since your competitors often free shipping.
I placed Order 74481896 but couldn't access the promised $20 coupon. I feel baited and switched! But I still want the books, so I'll proceed -- knowing that I can't depend on your promises of coupons.
Easy to navigate! Good price! This is my first time shopping, so far, so good.
Shipping is shockingly expensive - and I buy used books on a weekly basis.
I had searched for the third volume in a series. When the book arrived, I discovered they had sent me the first volume. I am still waiting for my refund for a book that I did not need. Plus, I had to pay to return it! Dissatisfied.
Contacted seller, responded very quickly and with respect
Navigating Alibris is very easy, and I found the books I was looking for at a lower price than other online sites. Fast delivery too!
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.
