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.

The book is exactly as described, It was well packaged and delivered in a timely fashion.
Many thanks!
Very easy to place and pay for order. I found a used book for less than $3. Even with shipping the total was about 85% cheaper than buying new.
It was pretty easy to purchase these books wish there was a cheaper shipping options.
I found a nearly new book at a very reasonable price and purchased here after shopping around at other online sites I have used before.

Good experience overall, though with one of my books the delivery date changed 3 times, making it to arrive later and later. It did eventually get here 1 day before the latest date change, though.
Good prices, and I am pleasantly pleased the last book I purchased got here even earlier than expected.
Wonderful, thank you. Arrived in time. Will enjoy watching it tonight. Have seen the before still worth owning.
So far, so good. Easy to advance through the website. Looking forward to buying more books from alibris in the future. Your prices seem quite reasonable. I'lll be telling my book club to give your company a try.
My order from Alibris arrived in great condition and very quickly. Thank you. I can hardly wait to begin the projects included!
Easy to use thank you for offering online! Will be able to state more once I receive the book.

Recommended by our Pastor. First time using Alibris. Was able to order and receive the book with ease. Thank You.
My purchase was delivered in a very time with fashion. I was very impressed by the condition of the book.
More great work from Alibris! Thank you! I'm very satisfied with my purchase, and I expect I'll be buying on your site again.
I wanted to buy an out of print book that was written by my friend and was pleasantly surprised to find a few copies. The book I purchased based on the condition was right what I thought it would be.
Easy to find books by author with options of prices range and condition. This is my first time using the site, rather than going to my usual local used book store, and will need to wait for delivery and how well actual condition matches vs description.
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.
