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 received the book I ordered very quickly and it was in even better condition than advertised. I would definitely use Alibris again.
Order arrived when they said, on time, book is as expected. Price was the lowest I found. I would order from here again.

My experience was fantastic, I am happy with the way the book was delivered to me. The book I ordered was delivered neatly
The book I want is available at a more than acceptable price and stated to arrive in 3 to 10 days. I'm more than pleased!
I've always been pleased with ordering from Alibris. Descriptions have been trustworthy. Service has been dependable.
Easy and quick way to shop. Thank you! Excited to have found this store!
After shopping around, this was a great price. Careful packaging. Quick shipping. Happy with my purchase. Thank you, Alibris!
Fast shipping with no problems. But I was disappointed (since this was a gift) that the book could not be sent without an invocie in the package,
The book arrived quickly and was beautifully wrapped. The description was accurate. Great seller! That's all I've got to say
Alibris has a great selection of books. The website is easy to use. I had a question and emailed the seller. The seller emailed me back in less than 24 hours. That was a huge plus
I have probably bought at least 25 books from this store. Now, my son has started buying his own. I only wish there was a way to shop for different books from the same or a close location.
Looked for 2 books I wanted, and found therm within seconds. Ordering is quick and easy, and the books arrived sooner than I expected. Thank you, Alibris!
As a writer and book author myself, I frequently order hard-to-find reference books to clarify or re-inforce a subject or event I may be writing about. Alibris has become my first choice in searching for such books because I can nearly always locate exactly what I'm looking for. I have been using them for years; in fact, I recently located one of my own published books through Alibris that had been out of print for more than 15 years.
My order experience with Albris was excellent. Thank you very much. And I have nothing more to say but you require 100 characters. I hope that this is enough.
This was my first experience of using Alibrus. I found the prices for used books to be much lower than other online sources. Add in timely delivery of the book I wanted at a great price, and I'm won over.
Books came well packaged and in great condition. Well worth the price & shipping. They showed up quickly. Can't wait to read them.
Easy to order. Great price! You had the book I was looking for.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
