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.

Excellent service all around! It was to easy to order, and payment was simple. The shipping was very quick, as well. I will definitely keep shopping through Alibris and its third party vendors in the future! A++
Easy to use website and quick delivery. Will use again. Thank you for your service. I'm not sure why you keep asking me for more characters in this review.
Book came relatively quickly. I wish your site provided a little bit more on the condition of the book. Otherwise I am please and will shop here again.
It should have had a DM Screen in the slipcase. It did not. I am now writing filler to complete the minimum character requirement for this entry field.
I love buying my used books through vendors using Alibris! The only "issue" is that sometimes it's too easy to buy books and spend my money.
I've used Alibris as my prefered book seller for over 10 years!
Found the book I needed ( out of print) and it was a good price for new condition and arrived very promptly!
Book ordered was delivered in the stated condition and for an excellent price. I will shop with Alibris again!
So far so good! Easy peezy. Hopefully the book shows up in very good condition
Order process was easy and went smoothly. Book received a few days earlier than expected and in good condition. Will order again in future

Great website for used books! And the nice thing is you get to choose the quality (which reflects in the price)

Ordering was easy, quite a few selections on different selection on the same book Book I chise was on time and in very good shape as described.
Nice clean layout, easy to find books that I am searching for. Lots of choices. Deliveries have always been quick, and the books in the condition advertised. Love this sight.
Cuba, 400 Years of Architectural Heritage (1997)
Interesting to note, authors worry that all this will decay... have been to Cuba five times and am amazed at how much the Cuban government has been able to restore/preserve, given the unjust sanctions imposed on them by the USA.
As always, Alibris delivered exactly as they said they would. I am a customer for life. Keep up the great business.
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.
