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.

Got alot at good prices. Mostly at 50% of new price. Would have been even lower without shipping costs. All in all good experience.
Book didn't appear in title search; When I used author's name book appeared
Your website brought me right to the book I was looking for and offered a good selection of options.
The I selected was sent and received in a timely manner. The packaging well protected the book. The book received was in better condition than I was expecting. Overall and excellent result.
The book arrived exactly as described on Alibris and shipping was crazy fast. Packaging was well done keeping my book in great shape. Very happy with this seller and would definitely buy from them again. Alibris makes it super easy to find that book you want and get it sent straight to your front door.
Book arrived fast and in described condition. I was disappointed that the listing photo showed the new cover, but I was sent an edition with the old cover. My son is trying to collect the series with the new covers. But he read and enjoyed anyways.
Efficient, decent price, excellent condition - new. Shipped without delay. Selecting the product is easy and making the purchase is also easy.
I wanted to order 5 books, same books for study group. Finding that difficult to do all at once. I will try again later.
This is a great place to buy books—new and used. The selection is awesome, the prices are great. I prefer not buying from Amazon and other huge retailers—a great alternative!
Shipping costs are very high. I wish they were cheaper. You probably ship by USPS which is awful where I live.
Really appreciated the ease of shopping and purchase. Good selection and price for the book - Horus Heresy Battle for the Abyss.
I received the order in a timely fashion and the book was in good condition. I will possibly use this company for future needs also.
The book I ordered was as described, the cost was very good and it arrived on time. TY! Alibris Books.
I received the book in the condition as described a week earlier than expected. Great experience with this vendor on the Alibris platform.
I gave only 3 stars because when I added my first book to the cart a statement read that if I spent only $8.40 more I would get free shipping. I added 2 other books for a total of almost $9, and yet there was an extra $14+ added for shipping. So I removed the extra 2 books.
Shipping was on time. The book was packaged well, and it arrived in the condition expected. Would order from this company again.
I fdid not recive one would like to get acrreditec for free shipping and discount code Ii was supose to get free shipping it did not appear that way
As long as I'm receiving volume 4 of Haibane renmei and it's in English, created by pioneer it's a 5 star rating
Good prices. Good sale made it even better. Easy on line shopping.
Alibris offered the best selection andd price on three books.
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.
