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.

The condition of the book is as described, with very careful packaging and fast delivery. Highly recommended.
The process was easy and fast. I ordered a trilogy in one book hardcover. The book came in great condition, is gorgeous and I would order again!
My order came complete in a timely manner. The books were in good fair to good condition. I will order for Alibris again in the future.
Ordering from Alibris is a great experience. They always have that title I can't find elsewhere. Shipping is always so prompt and efficient.
It was quick and easy. Found the book and a few clicks had it on its way.
GOOD SERVICE. That's really all that I have to say, and to get out of this damned thing I hope that I have now written 100 characters. But, if the way that you do business is to compel users to fill in these boxes, I'll stick with ABE BOOKS.
Easy to navigate. Simple to use. Payment link to PayPal useful.
I ordered a book. They delivered it. They want me to write at least 100 characters about this experience. They left the book in my mailbox.
Delivery was relatively quick and books in good condition. Easy experience using the website as well
I ordered a quilting book from Alibris and it came within 3-4 days from Seattle to NC! It was exactly as described and arrived fully in tact with secure packaging. I would order from them again.
Book was in great condition. Delivery was fast. I couldn't find the book anywhere else. Glad I found here.
Great. At least a hundred characters. At least a hundred characters. At least a hundred characters. At least a hundred characters. Please stop sending junk emails to me.
The book I ordered came rapidly and was in excellent condition, as described! I would buy from again. Thanks!
Your prices are great, and checkout is so easy. I was looking for a specific boof for a course I'm taking, and you had it and at the best price compared to other used book sites.
Very easy to find the book I wanted, and the checkout experience was very easy
Smooth and simple. Clearly displayed and the price is right
I bought several books to use at work, and didnt want to spend too much. Speedy shipping and great prices. Will order again. Thanks!
It was not the book that I ordered, so am now involved in a return and I assume, I will need to see if I can still find the book.
Got what I wanted faster than you could guess. Easy to order. Book condition better than described. Xxxcccxcxxxxxxxx
I love buying books from Alibris. They are always packaged with care and delivered quickly. I always use Alibris first when I decide to look for used books
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.
