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.

Dear alibis, Thanks for the quick service! My Book is in perfect condition. Friends at all Libre's this review section is not accepting my multiple attempts to send you a quick positive review because I haven't hit 100 characters. So here I'm starting to count letters so I decided to keep going if you just remove that requirement, you would get a lot more quick happy reviews.
Delivered on time and in good shape. Looking forward to reading some unpublished essays by Dillard. Easy to order and shipping was seamless. Thank you!
Everything related to purchasing this book was great; good value, fast shipping, good communication. Only issue was the packaging was minimal (basic manila envelope w/o padding), which led to USPS's less-than-gentle handling to arrive nicked & torn, bent, busted corners, and curled from being stuffed into my mailbox it shouldn't have fit in. Would recommend sturdier packaging & markings that would protect the book from "transit damage," we can't rely on modern USPS to "handle with care."
Can always (90% of the time) find what I'm looking for. Good selection of vendors.
Quick. Easy. Trustworthy. Variety of books. Use Alibtis often for older books.
See above... confusing response when ordering. Was told it wasn't available. Chose same title different book. Received both
It was a bit tricky... slow process. Bug I think ok in long run... could have been my phone. Idk
Item I ordered was as described, arrived in a timely manner, and at a very reasonable cost. I am very satisfied with my experience with this vendor.
Found what I was looking for in no time! The book I was looking for has similar titles to others but I was able to narrow it down easily.
I have shopped at alibris for many years. I love books and their selection is extensive and the prices are reasonable.
Easy to access, detailed description, excellent reviews!
The Rick Riordan Kane Series was easy to locate in your search engine. I was able to purchase the entire series from the same used book seller.
Always good service and satisfaction with Alibris. I've been a customer for years and can't imagine buying books online from any other place. The selection is great, site is easy to navigate and I've always found what I was looking for, no matter how old or obscure the title.
Alibris always comes through with what I'm looking for. Great site, prices, and service!
Love this site! Have ordered several book so far and all have been in even better condition than was promised.
Easy to find what I wanted! EASY! 50 characters required for this response, so: easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy
Good book condition as described and good price, came pretty quickly, would order from them again if I had the chance
Great selection, price. Wish the shipping was lower but they are books
The book was in worse condition that I was expecting. There was more highlighting and marking inside. I plan on buying another copy that's new because this one was so bad. I wish I hadn't bought it.
Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great Experience was great
Excellent transaction from beginning to end. It's easy to navigate the site in order to find what I'm looking for. They offer a large selection of items. I found the shipping to be very fast.
Easy to find items, great selection and uncomplicated checkout.
Had all of the books I was looking for, plus cheaper than 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.

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.
