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.

Books were delivered when email said they would be, no problems books were in good and great condition, will probably order more books in the future, like the way they operate
User friendly website. Had the book I was looking for.Decent Price.
Great selection, usually find what I need at excellent prices
Easy to navigate site and find all the books I want! Affordable :)
I love this site and the collaboration of many book lovers! I am able to find titles that are more difficult to get!
Took a while but I got my book. I'm just glad I got what I ordered. Will be ordering from you. Hope you deliver quickly.
Took to long to arrive and no tracking so I thought it might have gotten lost and was not certain what to do if it did not arrive
Yes, I got it. Stop fishing for compliments, just because somebody did their job. Now I have to $#*! around, putting up at least 100 characters to get this crap off my screen.
I needed to address an issue prior to this, but i cannot reach anyone... The order went to an old contact and address that hasnt been used in a while, so i had to place a whole new order.
No coupons and I've shopped three times. I tried many coupons on line and if you don't spend at leastv30 dollars no coupons are available
All four books ordered from different sellers arrived in promised condition. Most were delivered on time. One was a few days later than expected, but I received an email telling me when new date expected would be.
Since I've been ordering from Alibris I've never been disappointed. I've received books on time and they have been in the condition described. I do check prices as well as ratings from sellers.
Received my package exactly how it was described. It came earlier then expected too! The whole process was very simple and my cd works. I'm satisfied.
Received book promptly. Tedious size font & pages yellowed but binding in good shape. That sums it up for me. Thx!
I found what I wanted quickly and at an excellent price. The book I wanted is out of print.
Good; The book came before its estimated arrival date and was in good condition with minimal writings.
I was certain I would be able to find this book at a great price from a highly rated seller on my favorite online book vendor's website -- and I did!
Found the exact book (large print edition) in VG condition that I was searching for.
Easy to find what I was looking for. Simple process to place order
Like the information on condition for the various offerings.

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.
