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 important to get this as early as practical, and it arrived exactly on the date promised. Received via USPS, well packaged and in good condition (new). Thanks.
One item was out, as it was not a high-volume item. Refund was effortless and automatic. I subsequently ordered from different vendor, and all items arrived as promised. Pleasant experience, thanks.
I was excited to find this book thank you! It was difficult to find in other places. The service was fast and helpful.
I thought I was ordering the writings of Black Elk. Instead I received a play based on his writings. I have not read it yet.
I don't really want to leave a review, but I can't send a message to the retailer that I got the book without leaving a review so here it is..
I found alibris after searching for specific books I need for training. I was able to find the books I needed at fantastic prices. One book was $50 less than I was able to find anywhere else! One book did end up getting refunded, but the communication was great and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend.
Excited to find my holistic health book club book for such a great deal. Look forward to seeing how quickly it will ship and see if I have found a great shop from which to order my books! Thank you!
I was able to get the book in a good amount of time and the book is in good condition. It has been a long time since I had reaa the book and I am glad that I was able to find it in such good condition. I hope that I can find more books in that good condition.
I bought a book series (6 books) and I order 5 of the paperbacks from 1 source thinking I would save shipping costs. Yeah right. You need to come up with an option that when someone orders multiple books from 1 seller the shipping costs are lower. So, had 5 different paperbacks sent separately from the SAME seller on the same order. Not too ecofriendly either.
So far so good
It's my first time ordering with you!
I've heard good things!
Order was processed quickly and delivery came within expectations. Books were delivered in new condition as promised.
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.
