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 was a nice experience to order, but I did not like the book. This is a good place to try a book. I do not want to type 100 letters. Let me say what I want in a few letter.
"Please type a quick message about your shopping experience so far"
Quite as well as I have expected from Alibris. EE Wilson was my uncle.
It would be nice if I when I was looking at my account information, I could see my saved credit/payment cards and make updates, edit or delete them.
Easy to view books available at good prices and will shop again
That was quick, easy, and a good deal. Glad do non-Amazon business w/you. Thanks.
This is why I love Alibris. I searched for my grandfather's book, a rather obscure item, his Harvard PhD thesis on tariffs from 1936. Found! Ordered and it arrived safely and promptly and as described. Thanks!
This book feels like it was received as a gift. The spine is not cracked, no writing inside. One corner of the front cover has a fold line. The price was WAY below the $9.95 cover price & it was promptly delivered.
Everything was delivered in a timely manner. Thank you. It's always easy ordering my books from Alibris. I will continue to order my books through you as long as I can find the books I want!
I ordered a heavily marked up and highlighted copy of Lord of the Flies based on the description provided. I did not receive a marked up book, it was brand new. I actually DID indeed want the marked up/highlighted book. Other than that, shipment and receipt of package was great.
The book was shipped the same day I ordered it and I received it in a timely manner. I enjoy using Alibris to locate books.
Very quick and easy! Highly recommend! Alibris makes book buying very enjoyable!
My shopping experience was excellent so far. I feel as though Aibris is very secure and trustworthy!
I don't want to write anything here! I just want to leave the stars! So please get off of my back! I'm still not up to 100 characters? WTF?
The book was easy to order; look forward to quick receipt. Will use again.
Nice. Well packaged and swift delivery. Book as advertised. This must make the 100 characters required
I use these books to teach a Sunday school class. It is a small church and the prices of these books help us so much! Thank you
I received my order on time and the book is as described on the site. Ordering from the site was a good experience.
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. 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.
