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.

Love you guys. I can always find just the book I want. And while I would love to help you by writing 100 characters, there's nothing more to say.
I don't go to Thrift store's & have to read threw all of them. I Enjoy coming here & Typing in what I need. Thank y'all.
I Love finding the Moves that I Loved. Thank y'all Very Much. Happy Easter.
I belong to a group that does reports on topics. I found several books on my topic and thanks to alibris, now I have them.
You ask if I've received my order, giving only the date of that order. Sometimes I order more than one book on a given date. Sometimes I write down the name of the book but forget to enter the date. GIVE THE NAME OF THE BOOK. I hate getting these mysterious, vague emails.
Alibris is an excellent resource for out-of-print books. It is always my first choice fo such books.
Never any issues or surprises. Always delighted with my purchases. :)
Not my first order - never have any issues.:)

Pages were all yellowed - not just a few on the edges. Refund was provided. This took a lot of unnecessary amounts of my time and I was disappointed, ultimately, not to have a readable book.

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.
