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.

Order process was easy. Book was received promptly and was in good condition.
I do not have 30 additional characters to add.
Real Fine. Had a good shopping experience.
Bought a old Christian CD-Carman
Website is easy to navigate. I had problems trying to determine what songs are in the book. I wish that the seller would put the songs on the website for music books. I probably would have bought more if I knew what was in the books so that I wouldn't buy duplicates.
Books were well packaged and promptly shipped. One issue is that these are re-prints and a number of the pages did not print properly. But, I can manually print out a clean copy of some of the pages since the book is old enough to be in the public domain.
Great transaction, the book I ordered was in excellent condition and arrived really fast. Would highly recommend.
Book came quickly and reasonable price. I quit Amazon! So this is good to know. This says I need 100 characters- not much more to say!
Easy to transact and book was I great shape not to mention substantially less expensive than everyone else's. I would definitely buy again.
I do not have any complaint at all. That book was very well wrapped and protected shows a careful handling by the bookseller.
User-friendly... and delighted to find books that have only just been published already available!
Thank you. As a senior on limited income, I always check for best prices on books.
The item was received in good time and in good condition. However, the tracking seemed to indicate that the item had not shipped after one week, and when I inquired, the response was slow.
Books arrived quickly and in the condition stated in the description. I'm pleased with the service and would recommend it.
Fast delivery and good quality. Here are 20 more typed characters.
My book arrived in a timely fashion and was packed well. The book arrived in very good condition. I was pleased with my order and with Alibris.
Products easy to search and find. Good, detailed descriptions of used books.
I purchased two books from the same seller and I was charged twice for shipping, one for each book. It would have been helpful to see an explanation that this was normal policy; despite, as I expect, both books will be shipped together. Otherwise I like shoping with Alibris.
Quick and easy way to order books! I've ordered from alibris many times.
I was able to locate an out of print book via Alibris and the seller's description was accurate and their price reasonable.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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 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.
