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.

Received on time and good value. Thank you for taking the time to follow up and make sure I received my order
Took so long to receive my order. Literally went back and forth from starting point to west coast to east coast then finally to CO. Received notification that it had been delivered but wasn't. Finally showed up two days later. Process was frustrating.
Turns out that Greg Hurwitz, one of my favorite authors, had a 4-book series in the early 2000's that was a precursor to his later works and series. The first 3 volumes were available in ebook format, but not the 4th. Nor was it available at any library. But a quick search & easy purchase from Alibris solved the problem. Yahoo, Alibris!
The only issue I have with the book is the binding is a bit damaged, but considering its not brand new and it's perfect. It feels brand new in every other way. Seller mailed it out quickly too
I always find what I need in books here. The filtering is pretty decent as well especially useful when there are many translations available.
I found exactly what I needed at a fair price. This site had more choices and numerous books available.
I found an out of print book from a series I read as a teenager I wanted to buy. I couldn't find the book anywhere and discovered Alibris. My book came quickly and in good condition. I will definitely order again!
Easy navigation and had the book i wanted. Thank you so much!
I can't say as I have not received my order yet.
I will be able to answer this question later when I receive my order.
Good service. Would order again but crazy they want 100 character response here. Thank you thank you thank you
It was a pleasure, my order came ahead of time and very satisfied. I was very happy with the condition of my used dvd I purchased. I had not heard of your company before and was very pleased how quickly everything was processed. Thank you
I ordered one paperback book that took 2 weeks to get here. It seems like the order sat somewhere for a week before even being picked up by the post office. Nottt sure I'd order from Alibris again for that reason alone. The packaging was sturdy, though.
Ordering was easy. They had the book I wanted in stock. Much less than other places
It came on time and in good condition. I really like this book. The price was very good as well. It is absolutely ABSURD that they FORCE you to type 100 letters for this review, by the way. Good, enough.
Looking for a good book for my son. I use Apple Books on my iPad. It's great you have this
Book in excellent condition. Thank you! I can always count on Alibris for quality books at a great price.
I got what I ordered in a timely manner and at a reasonable price! I don't have anything else to say! Thank you!
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.
