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.

Order was prompt, exact and seller was great in responding to any questions I had. Very good and simple transaction--highly recommended
Well packaged and excellent condition. Shipping was prompt. I'd say more but that's 100 characters. Should be now anyway.
Customer friendly and payment options worked for me. Very pleased.
Quick and easy buy. The checkout process was a breeze. Will definitely buy again using Alibris!
Book came in time for me to read it before book club meeting. Timely order fulfillment. I will not do one of these reviews again with the requirement of a minimum number of words. I should be able to say what I wish or say nothing if that is what I choose.
Love this place. I've been buying books here for 20 years. Thanks!
I love this place! I started shopping here 20 years ago. Recommended you to countless individuals.
I bought an Ernie Pyle book on WWII for my brothers bday gift, and a book on Egypts Coptic martyrs. I thought it would be about the Muslim invasion of Christian Egypt in 700AD. But, it was about the more recent decapitation of Coptic Christians in Libya…. And happens to.be the book our church Readers Group is studying this summer. A win win. Thank you!
No issues, book looks great. I'm not sure why we have to write 100 characters about a book shipment. Seems excessive.
The book I ordered came in great condition, even though the packaging was somewhat torn. It was encased in plastic, so that protected it. It arrived faster than I thought it would.
Ordered 2 used books from the same seller, and books were shipped and received within a week of the order. Condition was accurate from the seller, and everything was as expected, except that the books were shipped separately and the order only contained a single tracking number from the seller. I was initially confused when only one book arrived in the shipment of the tracking number listed on my order, but then the second book arrived the following day, so all was good.
Easy checkout. Good selection options for the book I searched for. Also good suggestions for further reading.
Arrived super quick and in flawless condition! I've been looking for this one for a while and now I got it for a great price! Thank you so much! :)
Shipped and arrived quickly. Great price and plays perfectly! I love some kwd! Thank you so much! :)
Choice for fast shipping IF you want it. You use paypal. Lots of choices!
Easy to use - found a book here that I couldn't otherwise get from a non-amazon source
I was able to obtain enough copies of an older book title for an ESL book group. I look forward to summer discussions and friendships.
Thanks for sending the book quickly in excellent condition. I enjoy ordering my book needs from Alibris.
I've been using this site for years since college and now as an adult, I'm using it to build up my library in my home. Thank you!
See above.
Took too long to arrive.!
Also I don't want to write 100 characters
This book seller supports small book sellers all over the US. The choices are vast and you can select how much you want to pay. Why would you shop anywhere else?
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.
