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 prices, great selection and fast shipping I will continue to shop with alibris what a great experience
This company found all these books and got them to me quickly. They might as well start competing with amazon and make a warehouse.
Placed an order for a DVD I couldn't find anywhere. Excellent condition and received it fast. Will definitely use Alabris again.
I have been using Alibris for YEARS and 95% of the time, they blow everyone ele's prices out of the water! It has been a lifesaver for me with my college courses.
The site is easy to search -- I immediately found what I wanted and could choose the condition I would be happy with. Checkout was also super fast!
This has been one of my favorite books I've ever read on old movie stars! Ricardo Cortez was extremely handsome and a talent long forgotten. The author did a terrific job researching this book. I have read over it twice!
So far it appears to be easy. It was nice I was still in your system.
Book was used and in great condition, Speedy service, got early, thank you I appreciate it………………………………..
I found the book I was looking for at the lowest price available. It was delivered quickly and I am currently reading it.
The website was easy to navigate and my order was quickly processed.
Your prices are reasonable. But I'm taking a chance using your site. Last time I used it, my order got sent to Illinois (I live in Florida), so hopefully, it won't happen again.
Great. The process of ordering and receiving the book was good. There were no issues or concerns during the process
I don't like having to submit a review in order to process my order.
Super Easy and Fast. I also checked other websites for price comparison and Allbris had the best price and best condition for the book I was shopping for. Wha Hoo!
My books were all shipped quickly, from various sellers. I'll definitely be shopping for books here again.
Order arrived in a timely fashion. I did not experience any issues with my order. The books came in great condition.
Delivery arrived ahead of planned date. The item received was not damaged in any way. I was shocked to have it delivered so soon. I would definitely recommend using this company for anyone.
I wanted to have a copy of Timothy Snyder's book On Tyranny to keep it was so good to refer to.
The library copy had to go back. Now I can let friends borrow it.
At least it was written clearly that it was a paper book, this other place tricked me into a digital copy (Inspire Uplift)
The book arrived promptly and in good condition. I am pleased with your company
Thank you, Helen Smithwick
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.

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.
