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. Description matched the product sent. Great price. Shipped and arrived before I expected. Ordered used dvd series and so far no problem with any of the dvd.
Items arrived in a timely manner. Books were exactly what were ordered and were in great condition. I would use Alibris again for future book purchases.
Good selection quality books at fair price. Repeat satisfied customer
I buy from Alibris over other sellers because books are packed well, so don't arrive bent up or torn.
I've been trying to only order from Alibris since the books are packed well. Brand new books I've bought from other sellers arrive too beat up to give as gifts.
Shopping experience is amazing. You have all the books at a great price, but shipping caught me off guard. I had five more books, at great prices in my cart but shipping was over $48. I had to take some out of the cart. I bargain shop for books for a reason. I can't pay that in shipping. I understand that these come from different sources and each has their shipping cost, but I'll just have to try and order them later and hope they are still in stock.
What a bargain! I can't wait to get the book. This book was over $40 new on Amazon, even though it was published long ago (I guess that makes it more valuable when it's a hit?) Anyway, I can't spend that much on our book club books. But this is a GOOD one and I won't mind reading it again!
My book order came promptly and the book was in pristine condition. I couldn't be happier.--------------
Shopping on Alibris is always a great experience. I almost always find what I want, and find it quickly.
My wife wanted me to get her this book. I have not read it, she reports that it is quite good.
Came early as described. Book was in great condition no complaints. I found exactly what I was looking for.
It was difficult to use on my iPhone. I got very frustrated. I finally had to use my computer.
Fantastic selection easy to order. Better prices than Amazon
Alibris never fails to deliver. Alibris has selection, and taps into many, many booksellers. I am particularly pleased that I can obtain used books for titles no longer in print.
Liked the book, was glad to find this site. Will look up more titles. Hard to come up with one hundred words.
I goofed...
Havent received order yet...
So far, everything is great why do i have to enter at least 100 charcters?
Easy to filter through to find the book and check out as a member.
Items arrived as described, almost always. Items are usually well packed and arrive in reasonable time.
Love the selection of new and used books. Great weekly deals. And fast shipping. Thanks! Will be using your site many more times.
Love this place. Great selection of books that are hard to find anywhere else. Also fast free shipping. Thanks so much! Will definitely be ordering more.
Love Alibris- have used for many years. Always excellent service.
Alibris is so easy to use and is pretty accurate in the condition descriptions.
So far, so good! I was pleased to find 2 of my most favorite books at the same provider. I've learned not to loan out my hardbacks.
My order was delivered as promised. I am ready the books and enjoying them. And frankly this is stupid. You ship books... people read them.
Arrived in great shape. I will order from ALIBRIS again in the future. This is a great alternative to Amazon.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
