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.

Higher shipping charge than other book sites, offsets the lower book price
Item shipped and delivered. Excellent service! Item shipped and delivered. Excellent service! Item shipped and delivered. Excellent service!
Love Alibris! Have been using them for years. Highly recommend. Found everything very easily.
I happened upon this site when looking for a book that was recommended to me. The order through delivery experience was great. No issues. Books that came were true to the condition that was stated on the site. I would definitely order from here again. I have already told a few friends about it.
First time ordering from this site and it was very quick and easy..
The site eas easy to navigate and I found the book I wanted quickly.
I searched the internet book sites for the hymn book Great is the Lord. Alibris was the only one who had the books our choir needed!
Good service excellent selection excellent pricing thank you
Love Word Roundup Puzzle Books! Always find 'em here! Good Price. Came in reasonable time - no long wait. Pleased customer!
I ordered my Word Roundup book on Feb. 9th, 2025. I contacted Alibris regarding my order after the designated time quoted for delivery. I was told it should arrive soon. Surprisingly I received it the very next day (Feb. 19th, 2025). So... I will continue using Alibris for purchasing books.
In the last three months about 60 percent of the books and videos I received were very, very inaccurately described. 75 percent of the dvds were placed on a listing for a set of four dvds, l only received one dvd from the set. Most of the books I received this winter that were listed as good or very good were torn, warped and falling apart. Some had food and other unknown things smeared on the covers and inside the books. And last week I received a book of KenKen puzzles that was completely filled in. All the puzzles were completedโbasically somebody mailed me something they should have tossed in the trash.
This was a gift, sent directly to the intended recipient. It was priced fairly and delivered promptly -- I ordered it on the 26th and it was delivered five days later, on the 31st.
The book was reasonably priced, in the condition advertised, and was delivered promptly.
Sehr rasche Bearbeitung; ich bin sehr zufrieden; alles, wie beschrieben; werde wieder bei alibris kaufen

I have ordered from Alibris before, especially for titles I can't find for a reasonable price elsewhere. Good service.

I always appreciate the wide variety of items that I can purchase at Alibris at a very good price. Easy to use and find from the many vendors that are available through Alibris.
Always happy to find all the items I'm looking for on Alibris.
I received my order in a timely manner. It was delivered where it should be and the item was in good condition.
I had a great experience when I placed an order with Alibris, my book got to me on time and the price was great!
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.
