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 ordered a book that I'd been searching for in a specific edition, and I was happy when I found it for way cheeper than other sites! I ordered it right away, and it arrived pretty quickly. The book was in great condition, and overall, I have no complaints. Only praises, so thank you so much!
The two books arrived within the time promised. I was a bit disconcerted by the fact that the tracking information showed the order as having arrived in my home town for at least two---and I think three---- days before the USPS got around to actually delivering them.
Excellent service from Alibis. A GREAT alternative to Bezos' behemoth. IThey always tell you about the condition of the book so there are no surprises. And the prices are excellent.
The book got here faster than I expected, thanks. Good book & packed securely. Will certainly order again from Alibris

Purchasing of the book was easy, and the book shipped and arrived quickly. Thank you! I don't have anything else to say.
Book fetch gave me an alert of a long-sought book. The saved info made a sale very quick. Pretty sure other collectors were slow to get on this one.
Good experience and the books were in perfect condition with a great price... I order from Alibiris whenever I need a new book for our book club. Thank you,

I got this book for my 1st grader to help increase his understanding the ocean. This book was recommended to enhance his science lesson. It did its job.

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 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.
