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.

I like your selection, especially having the option for good to excellent in some CDs
Book arrived in great condition and I enjoyed the novel very much. I have nothing else to say but this review won't let me finish unless I write at least 100 words
Love Alibris. I tell friends and they are always amazed. Great source for buying books.
The book that I ordered was shipped quickly and arrived in great condition. I would recommend this seller.
Professional, friendly, speedy service, good price. Will purchase again and would recommend Alibris to others
I found the site easy to navigate and the books came in good condition and in a timely manner. I would use this site again.
I was pleasantly surprised by the book's condition, even though I was a bit disappointed that the shipping was going to take 2 weeks. They were up front about this. However, if it hadn't been out of print, I probably would've looked for other options.
I have looked several times for the good fit of a basic but good quality NLT large print Bible in a pretty color - but without a bunch of frills. This site was perfect! I found exactly what I wanted, at a great price, plus an extra surprise book. Thank you!
I ordered a book for my grandson not knowing if it would be received by Easter. The order process was easy and the book was received in excellent condition earlier than anticipated.
Will buy again from this shop. The whole experience was great. I am so happy with my books. Arrived on time and packaged with care. Thank you
Searches are fast and easy. Result summaries are clear and easy to scan. Ordering is simple.
Shipping is a little high... but I like that I can find books at more reasonable prices.
Easy to use and understand … tried to buy a book from another thrift store website and it refused my valid phone number… tried several times. Was so frustrating… your web domain was super easy! Thanks!
Everything arrived quickly and well packaged. And I got an Alibris discount too, so I was very happy!
Shopping experience was ok. Process kept going to check out prior to completing purchases, but overall good.
As my title notes, my book travel across the Atlantic and across the US to get to me in California. The book is in very good condition, as described by the seller.
Excited to have ordered my book thru Alibris. Smooth transaction. Everything was as described and the book even came in a recyclable packaging.
Easy to find and selections that cannot be found on other sites. The prices are great (even with minimal shipping costs). Would like an annotation to which items qualify for free shipping but it does not deter me from checking Alibris first!
The book arrived in good condition. What I don't like is all of these emails from your firm. Please take me off of your Alblis Text and emails. Thank you.
I ordered a used book, but it looks brand new! Wonderful edition and quick delivery from seller. Love getting books from Alibris.
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.
