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.

Easy to use and make my purchase. I would recommend and definitely use Alibris again. They also have a wide variety and selection in books and music.
Great transaction! Item arrived as requested and in great condition. I would purchase future items from Alibris again.
I have used Alibris when buying books for a few years now and have always had good experiences with their sellers. The selection of items & their prices and the professionalism of the sellers and Alibris customer service representatives have always been excellent. I would recommend them to anyone.
Each time I check Alibris for out of print/hard to find art books, I am pleasantly surprised. This month I was searching for a rare Italian watercolor book and found a copy with Alibris. It arrived in great shape and in time. Thank you!
Thank you very much. It was as expected. Holy cow. I don't want to write this, but I keep being harassed. For this reason, I will not use this company again. Good grief.
I received my book as described. It was delivered in a timely fashion. I have just used Alibris again for other books and hope to have a similar experience.
So far everything is fine. I am looking forward to receiving this book. If you have more copies I will share with my colleagues. Thank you.
Fine but will the book get to me quickly? I paid 19$ for expedited
It was easy and actually recommended several similar titles
Quick and easy to find what you are looking for. Almost always have what I am looking for. Great prices too.
Very good product selection. Website is easy to use. Coupon/discount offers are not very helpful and seem a bit deceptive.
I have no review Well, this place wants me to review them and I tried to review them and it requires 100 characters and I don't feel like writing 100 characters
You can find stuff here that you can't in other places, at a very reasonable price.
My book was sent from USA to Canada and took rather a long time to arrive but I KNEW that this type of postage could take a long time. I am very pleased with the book and the Alibris service. Thank you.
Love love love my books. Thank you. Super fast and responsive. I ordered five books and they all came within the week. Affordable and in good shape.
Quick and not Amazon!
Hey friend had a bad experience with abebooks.
Had books, recent and older, that other used books websites simply did not carry. Almost too much variety. I added toy Wishlist and bought what I could afford today. Quite satisfied.
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.
