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.

Easy to use interface. Alibris has an excellent reputation and prices are very competitive.
Trying not to use PayPal anymore. Maybe Alibris would add some other pay options.
Quick and easy order process. Very good price compared to the others.
Received as expected. Good condition. Not much to say. I ordered the book and it arrived in good shape about when expected.

I was a little leery about the quality of the book because the price was low ($20), thought I would give it a try. It is a great book, is brand new in mint condition. Well packaged and shipped fast.
Quick service, excellent packing, and a great book. Will definitely do business with you again. Thanks so much!
Yay, thank you! I need to enter at least 100 characters for the review, which is a very stupid caveat imho.
Great search engine! Fast, accurate, lots of results. And the prices are very competitive, even after shipping. I paid less than the big A price even with their free shipping.
So excited to read these books from my childhood! These covers and art styles are so pretty, and it's sad to see that they don't print them anymore
Site was very easy to navigate and you had the book that I wanted
Shipping was fast, and arrived before the estimated delivery date, and I got a great book in great condition! What more could anyone ask for?!
After Val Kilmer passed I wanted to watch his old movies. Found I couldn't unless I had the right streaming service and DVDs for his movies at other places were ridiculously expensive. Found a copy of one his movies for a much more reasonable price on Alibris. Arrived well packaged and on time. DVD works great!
Easy website to navigate, but I didn't find out where to put the Coupon password, so I had to order without a discount…
Great seller! Book came in a timely fashion and quality was advertised appropriately. Will order again.
Easy I was looking for an inexpensive book and found it straight from the internet browser
My last order was canceled without reason. The book now not available? You should replace it or give a discount on the reorder.
Good selection and Great prices. Shipping cost is a downer.
Really easy and now my son gets his birthday present...
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.
