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 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.
Alibris has such a great selection of books at affordable prices. I always check the library first; if it's not there, I get it at Alibris. The book arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I highly recommend this bookseller.
Clean, no wear and tear noted. Arrived quickly. Very satisfied personally if you want me to fill out these forms, don't force me to write extra words, just to submit
So grateful to find the books i seek and to know that other hands and eyes have held and read
Fast delivery of a second hand book in great condition.The price of the book was a steal. Love the service! Looking forward to buy more.
I have ordered a few times now from Alibris & am very satisfied with the overall experience!
I would purchase from this company again. Pleased with pricing & shipping time.
The book I was searched for, indicated several used book establishments for purchase. I used alibris before, and it had lowest price and shipping was reasonable.
Easy and great! The price range was vast
Hope this cd is in good shape
Three copies of the same title, ordered in a single order from one store were shipped separately with three individually applied shipping fees. Neither efficient nor cost effective.
I searched the internet for an obscure CD. None of the major internet sellers had it, but Alibris did. The ordering process was very easy and took less than a couple of minutes. So far I am very impressed with Alibris.
Easy ordering process and prompt shipping. Alibris made the transaction smooth sailing.
Look forward to shopping with yo again.
Thank you.
Shipping price should be visible with cost of the book please
Being able to see the shipping charges before finishing would have helped.
Easy to find titles, quick checkout, had exactly what I was looking for
The shipping cost increased when I had to give a new credit card. I accidentally put in the wrong CVV and it wouldn't accept the correct one after the change, but it increased my shipping by 2x.
My Book condition is at was specified online and arrived in very good conditions also. Great Service.
So far, So Good but let's see how long it will take for me to get my Book to my Door steps. Hope not too long
Easy to order. Was easy to locate using internet search. Thanks for a great website.
Incorporate Apple Pay for easier and faster checkout, otherwise great place to find text books which your book store may not carry.
I always receive excellent service from Alibris. It is my go to location when searching for gently worn, used and even new books.
Whenever I am looking for a good replacement copy for books -- my go to book source is Alibris Books.

I have been buying books from alibris for a long time and have always been completely satisfied. Alibris always has the book I want, several size and format options and the price is always right.
Alibris has a great selection. I can always find what I need at a more than reasonable price.
This is exercise book but there are no drawings or pictures of any of the position or how to do them
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.
