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.

Thank you very much for your information. I wait for the book which I could not have for a long time.
I needed 8 copies of Shakespeare's "A Comedy Errors." The "No Fear Shakespeare editions. I had to order from 8 different vendors, therefore the shipping was significantly more than the books. Is there a way to avoid all the extra expense of having to use 8 vendors?
I received my books very quickly. Each came from a different vendor but both were in very good condition. Overall, this was a wonderful experience with Al Libras and with the businesses which sent the books. Thank you.

Every time I came back to check out I had to add my email address, there was an automatic check mark that signed me up for stuff to be sent to my email. No matter how many times I unclick it, every time I came back to the paying page it would automatically be rechecked and if I didn't notice all the sudden I'm signed up for emails that I didn't want. I think that's sneaky. I really don't appreciate it! I don't need emails from every place I order from. And I really don't appreciate the "click here for $5 off this order by signing up for texts" and then finding out that I have to spend $45 just to get the $5 off so I can get spammed with text messages. Although I don't mind supporting your business, I find it underhanded the way you practice.
Quick and easy to find desired book and place order. I always find what I need.
Got the 3 books on time and well packed. Great booklets with info that SHOULD be taught at school. It is obvious that schools are grooming places to make one dumb. Save for reading, spelling, grammar and basic math, most everything is a useless waste of time. I'm 45, i know. I'm homeschooling my child and teaching him what i wish i was taught, what should be taught.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
