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 odered a used book it came and I had no issues. I would order again if I need a used book for my book club
The quality of the book was good including the book jacket. It arrived when I expected it. The description of the book was accurate.
Everything went well, but keep this in mind: If your package shows is has stopped in a random location in the USA, and you are waiting for a delivery to Canada, note that the tracking details may well have changed, and your package is still en route but with a different carrier.
I ordered the book and received it. It is good bookstore. It is very good job. I am very happy. Good service
I had been looking for this volume at a reasonable price and was happy to find it on alibris. The condition of the book was like new as described.

I'm very happy with the selection and the prices for used books.
Very happy with website and selection. Delivery for previous order was expeditious.
Two books each charged the same shipping? Seems excessive, so I only ordered one.
Perfect book for my coffee table, visitors love the book too!
Easy, quick, and efficient! Alibris is my first choice when a book is unavailable at my local independent book store.
This book was described as being in good condition. It had a streak of what looked like blood right on the front cover and moldy water damaged pages. I was going to give the book as a gift but it was in too poor of condition to do that. Very disappointed.
I love using this site for books! Been a user for years. They have even obscure titles available.
Alibris always has the quality books and text books I require.
Easy to find what I wanted, prices are good. I wish the shipping wasn't quite so high but it's great to find what I need.
Easy search system. Wish shipping were less or could be combined.
Easy to order. Price is good. The dvd costs so much new. I was glad I found your store.
This is my 'go-to' site for books for my library. Love it. I recommend Alibris to all friends
Very easy to navigate. Presentation of book condition and details concise.
Received all books ordered in a timely manner except one. That one came weeks after the others. You need to monitor your orders more closely.
Alibris needs to talk to dealers and ask that when 2 or more books come from the same dealer, a price reduction in shipping should be made.
I live very near Cross Creek and am so immersed into Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings writing. Her attention to detail of the scrub area of the time. I've learned so much about the life of living at the Creek. I've also read The Yearlling now and The Creek by J. T. Gllisson.
I've always received good service from Alibris and their suppliers
I found what I wanted very easily and quickly. I would use Alibris again definitely.
I've ordered many books from Alibris over the years. It's easy to order --- after that, everything depends on the seller, the carrier, and the U.S. Mail. Some books take longer than others. This one took a bit longer to arrive, but when it did, it was expertly packaged and in mint condition. I ordered it for my husband, and he was very happy with it.
I've been ordering from Alibris now for many years. Some orders arrive promptly, others seem to take much longer. This was one of the longer waits, when the book seemed to have been marooned in Phoenix, AZ, awaiting pickup by USPS. However, it finally made it to its destination, and in perfect condition, but there for awhile I did wonder if it had been lost.
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.
