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.

The book is in brand new condition. I expect to place more orders from you in the future.
There is a good selection of interesting titles offered.
Both books I ordered were in great condition and shipped in a timely manner at a ready price. I will likely order from Alibris again.
Thank you for your service of providing current books that are used for affordable rates. I am very pleased.

Excellent seller, A+! Will certainly use again. My book arrived quickly and well packaged. Thank you!

I buy many books only commonly available in Europe or Australia, and the sellers on Alibris are fantastic. After 50+ books, Alibris is easily my favorite Website for my collection. This particular vendor was a Thriftbooks location, and they have been wonderful to work with, with accurate descriptions and excellent packaging, which has been my usual experience with Alibris sellers. Very useful Website.
No Problem - It worked the first time except for this stupid question
Thank you for getting the book to me so quickly, and for the emails giving me status updates. It was easy and quick and I appreciated the quality of the book and packaging.
I'm very appreciative of having the very good book of information. Thanks!
Very good communication on the order and quickly delivered - Book was in excellent condition! A very pleased customer
Found exactly what I wanted at great prices. Site was easy to navigate.
I usually buy on ThriftBooks, but sometimes alibis has better prices. Alibris has accurate descriptions and a good range of conditions. I love these guys!
I love all the options and the inventory... WOW! I really like this place!
Great quality! Great price. I've been looking for this book for a long time. I will definitely be ordering more books in the near future.
I wanted to get all books from a single place to possibly reduce postage, and that was difficult to do. I thought all the books would be from alibris, but when I placed the order, three different sellers appeared, each charging 4.99.
The service was prompt and reasonable. The book was in great condition as well. I would order from this comapany again.
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.
