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.

Great book at a great price, better than I expected, it arrived sooner, the book is a major art book, I probably will buy more books from you should the art books show at your pages
It was quick and easy to find the book I was looking for. There were also lots of options in price and quality of book. The chart that described the condition of the books was really helpful!
The book was practically brand new. I ordered online and it came fast. I didn't have to worry about it not being delivered.
The book came quickly and the quality was better than expected. (Now I am just filling in more characters because for some reason Alibris has decided to waste my time by requiring 100 characters in this review)
Easy, and great service. Never disappoints. Keep up the good work.
The item arrived as expected, which makes me very happy! I look forward in the future to having more pleasant experiences with purchases on the alibris.com.

Alibris provides excellent selection, smooth order process, good prices, reasonable shipping times. Thanks so much for an alternative to the giant corporations.
Smooth so far! I wonder how long it will take for shipping. One step wt a time :)
I was looking for a book, and the best price was Alibris. Fast and easy
Very irritating when the shipping costs more than the books!
I use other used book sources (not Abebooks - they are owned by Amazon), and had better search/sort experiences. But Alibris was recommended by my local indie bookstore, so I thought I'd try it. Not impressed so far.
I don't hate it but, definitely disgruntled.
The merchant's description of the book I ordered was "Very Good" and the phrase "may contain some markings on the covers" was added. That underestimates the actual condition that I gave it—Like New. As Ira Gershwin wrote, "Who could ask for anything more?" Kudos to the seller!
Easy ordering and delivery. Got a used book for a church class which was perfect. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc etc
Received the movies in a timely manner. Will order from you again. I am very happy with your service. Thank you! 😊
Accurate, fast, efficient, good followup, & wide selection of resources. But sales tax from high tax states such as Pennsylvania are not helpful to anyone.
Ok, fast., thorough, wide choice, shipping costs not consistently shown.
I ordered 3 books/All arrived in good condition--even the book that was used. I would order from this company again.
Love this book. Very descriptive of trigger points. How's this…, no I'm not writing more so go away. This is ridiculous.
I type what I'm looking for and the info comes up immediately that you have what I'm looking for. Put my credit card info down and receive my order. All books I've ordered are in very good condition.
Really smooth and positive experience. Everything does what I tell it too. Love the simplicity the most!
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.
