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 quick. I am used to free shipping. The cost to ship is more than the book!
First time through i could not enter my payment info. Second back through it did.
Great transaction! Speedy shipping and item arrived in great condition. Book appeared better than expected.
Great experience! Packaged well. Rapid shipping. Thanks a bunch! Good job. Keep it up. I can't think of more to meet the 100 character requirement
Book arrived in perfect shape, and better than description- was like new and arrived carefully packaged and ahead of schedule
I find books here that are not in my local library. I find what I want here. Thanks
You have the books that my library does not carry. I appreciate that. And the price is pretty good.
I was looking for an out of print book on knitting patterns, and Alibris had it. The book came within days, it is in perfect condition, and the price was right. Great experience, thank you!
I found a copy of a re-mastered Roy Orbison CD that I've been looking for. The price was reasonable and the shipping was the cost of standard media mail. Great buyer experience!
This was a wonderful ordering experience! The book arrived quickly and was as described. Would shop here again!
Site was easy to shop on, prices were good and good selection.
The assortment of books for a decent price. And it's not Amazon.
Ordered and received book satisfactorily. Very pleased with my experience. Thank you very much for the pleasantexperience.
Thanks very much, from Montreal!
I received my CD yesterday. I'm happy with the delivery and the packaging.

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.
