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.

Quick search and checkout service. Thanks for the efficiency.
Quick and easy. Great selection with options of book condition and shipping distance.
I was looking for this book as a gift for my friend who loves gardening. It is a prize. It was printed in 1994, and I was concerned I would not be able to find it. Thank you, alibris!
Worked out very well, easy to use, timely delivery. Thank you!
I've purchased a couple of books from Alibris before and everything went smoothly. I'll be back.
I am thankful youre the only ones I could find this book available. Thanks so much!
Excellent and definitely happy to be a returning customer.
Excellent! One thing above all: the international shipping charges are reasonable.
I can usually for obscure times here. It's a great resource.
I have purchased many hard to find items from Alibris. Each purchase has been more than satisfactory. I am very pleased.
Perfect service, on time delivery, good condition of the book
It's easy to find and choose the purchasing options I prefer.
I bought this title, recommended by a respected public scholar of the Bible, and I'm delighted with it. Its electronic format is downloadable and readable in the Bookshelf app, DRM-free.
Book was delivered promptly and in excellent condition... exceptional in every way
I appreciated Alibris and will return to this company for future orders.
Great process from the beginning to the end. Looking forward to working with you on more items.
I could not find the books at the same vendor so I could avoid some of the shipping charges. It is almost better to get the books from a vendor bc they do not charge a large amount for each book.
It would be nice to be able to automatically get the best shipping prices from the locations... have the system find best price for condition and location for ordering.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
