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.

My go to for used books. Always find what I want for a great price! Thank you!
Always love shopping for books at Alibris! 99% of the time I find what I'm looking for for a great price!
Yes, received.
Thank you for your good follow up. John C Grodzki Really 100 Characters?
Not really that verbal and don't have the time for this. đ J
Though it took a while, I received the book. It is in good condition. I noticed after I received the book that the same book was being offered on your site for a lot less. I'll check more carefully next time.
Nice deal on the DVDs. My only issue was how one of them arrived. Packaging was not adequate and the case was smashed and broken. Otherwise the DVDs were in good condition.
Chose this site for the price (deal), but that got dashed when my item was not actually available.
To make matters worse, I added a second item thinking I may as well take advantage of one shipping lot.
Well, that blew up when item number one disappeared and I got left taking the hit for the difference, sales tax, etc. oh, well... live and learn.
Book price great shipping fee not so great. Easy instructions on billing
Quick, easy and competitive pricing. Thank you for your great work of promoting reading the old way!
Book was easy to find and have a great price! I always shop around to find the best price, other people had this book but this was the best price I could find on it, I have shopped with Alibris many times and always had good results.
I love this site! Hard to find books; signed booksâŚ. Older ones too. Prices are really good also., I've recommended this site to numerous others who love books like I do!
I was able to order a good quality used version of the book I wanted. It arrived in a timely fashion and in good shape as it was described.
All 4 books from 4 different businesses arrived in a timely fashion. Everything looked good. The 1 book that was not "new" was in excellent condition, minimal previous personal touches.
Receive in a timely manner Thanks It's exactly the part that I needed.
Will order from you again. Thanks
I'm happy with the book and the timeliness of delivery. The book has a problem with the spine that I fixed with superglue. Shipping was as advertised.
I have always found what I have looked for on this site and books have been true to description.
I enjoyed being able to select by the seller. I was hoping they could package into a single box, but they are paying by mass.
The titles I wanted at prices I can afford. Reasonable shipping.
This was a lucky find I stumbled upon. I received everything quickly and the one issue I had was resolved expeditiously. I will continue to use this platform.
I love how this site works :) It really is user friendly and I like that it allows you to choose the condition and shipping of your books.
Book arrived on date as promised. Packaging was adequate and in good shape. Communication from Alibris was timely promptly for reply stating delivery or no delivery.
Always good, yes, 100 characters it must be, so good prices and good shipping, yes. 100 characters is a bit much, Sitejabber (the site collecting these reviews), but Alibris is very good.
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.
