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.

Appreciate the lower price offer from other sellers at checkout. I suggest a way to search for books from the same seller, to conserve shipping resources.
So far, I have found what I was looking for, the reasonable prices. The customer service quickly responds to your question and provides detailed information about the shipping.
I received this book in excellent condition and in a timely fashion. Would definitely do business with this vendor again
My issue is not with alibris which is still the first place I go to look for books. My issue is with a particular seller who described one thing and sent another; specifically sold a hard back and delivered a paperback at a hefty price. I want to believe the description given and with all but this specific seller, who sold me a hardback but delivered a paperback twice, I have not been disappointed.
Love this awesome way to get affordable books and support independent book sellers! Thanks to the Alibris Team.
Alibris is awesome. SO great to have an amazon alternative that supports independent booksellers.
The first time I tried to order, it froze. An hour later it's good
I received the book Solal in the French Language, rather than English
Under book details it stated that the language is " English". In order to order future books I want to be sure I understand fully the product details of the book that is being ordered.
As in the past my Alibris purchase was fine. The book is in very nice condition as it was described to be.
I bought a Gordon Ramsey cookbook that was like new for $3 and shipping was $6 for a total of $9. Great deal! Will buy all my books here in the future.
Book arrived quickly and in good condition. Thank you!
Book arrived quickly and in good condition. Thank you!
Alibris provides access to thousands of books that you wouldn't normally have available in your local bookstores
Excellent. Would have liked the option to automatically create an account upon ordering though.
Needs 100 characters, so...
Many price range options available to selection from either new or used. Fast delivery, good condition. Easy ordering and payment processing. We continue to search on Alibris when needing a book.
Always a positive experience. Usually find what I need at your website.
It is quick and easy to use your site. The prices are comparable to Amazon.
Two of the three books ordered arrived within just a few days, while the third from Reno took over a week. But all arrived in the condition stated.
Love the fact you have books that are difficult to find. Esp those published in Scotland.
Always look first to get good condition used books from Alibris. Have always had a positive experience and would recommend
I couldn't remember the title or author of the book I wanted. I searched on two keywords I thought were in the title. Alibris search results returned an extensive list of titles and cover photos(!), the latter which enabled me to find the book quit quickly.
Great Job, most professional, thank you very much!
Have a wonderful evening:)
God bless you always.
Very happy either my purchase. I could not be happier, very fast shipping at a fair price. My first purchase from the site and I was very pleased.
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.
