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.

It is always a pleasant experience to buy on Alibris: the book's condition and sale condition are clearly stated. Up to today, I have never had any bad surprises. I cross my fingers.
Alibris has a great selection! They have a quick and easy ordering process.
Some of the books I ordered were practically brand new, as described! The shipping costs do add up - so watch out for that as you order.
Items all arrived in great condition and everything was shipped quickly! Looking forward to my next purchase!
The book shipped quickly and was in excellent shape for a used book! I would use this service again.
Hi One of the books that I ordered was listed as in Very Good condition but it's really only in fair condition with writing inside and stains on the outside. I've ordered from Alibris before and usually the descriptions are accurate but not this time!
Many options, great rating and book quality systems, and user-friendly site.
Easy to use amd navigate. Clear information about prices and products.
Too long time for delivery, delayed and have not access to the track information, making me mad. Too long time for delivery, delayed and have not access to the track information, making me mad Too long time for delivery, delayed and have not access to the track information, making me mad

Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.

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.
