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 my book without any issues as always. Shipping to Canada was relatively fast and without hiccups. Very good source for textbooks at a discount. Thanks again Alibris
Always a pleasure getting textbooks from Alibris. Especially previous editions for a fraction of the cost. Fast shipping to Canada.
Thank you! Always easy to find the book I'm looking for. Website is easy to search too.
Straight forward. As described. Better than Amazon. I support the Alibris experience. Why does this description need to be 100 characters?
I received the book I was looking for, in great condition, at a great price, with quick delivery. What more can you ask for?
The experience was fine. ……More characters? Go away! Dhhiyfcvjg church jffhujb jfdhgsfh bjgdujj mvcuydcvj
Best selection, pricing (even for newly published books, deep discounts offered) and service
My CD arrived promptly. It was in new condition, as described. The price was reasonable, as were the shipping charges. Communication and tracking were excellent.
Quick shipping, item just as described, possibly even better. Entirely a smooth experience. Thank you!
Got the books I wanted at a good price plus shipping was also good,, Now to wait on books o ordered let's see what they look like
Really had a good experience with alibris. I got a classic, hard-to-find CD delivered quickly and cheaply right to my door. I would not have found this CD so easily were it not for alibris!
You're a great discovery on the Internet! Glad I found Alibris today!
I was able to find a DVD that I had been looking for for ages! My son was thrilled. Thank you Alibris!
Very good; product was shipped speedily and arrived as described. Seller always responded promptly to queries for additional information about the item.
Very easy to use! Finally found what I was looking for and awesome pricing.
It was a good transaction. It was what I expected. I've used Alibris before and I have never had an issue.
Love my new book and have made one recipe out of it, but that one was worth the book. There is this grape chicken walnut salad that I've had every day for the last two weeks I loved it so much. I can't wait to try some others.
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.
