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.

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.
Alibis is so convenient & easy to use. I've always had a good experience.
My experience was great. The price of the book worked for me. It arrived timely and is exactly as advertised.
Great place to find the reading materials you want for your library. Has large selection and multiple authors. Definitely a place you cannot go wrong with in using to expand your horizons
Exceptional order handling. Will order again when need be. Looking for Star Wars and star trek first edition books.
There is no way to add a simple note to the book shipment. This seems like an easy and valuable thing to be able to do when sending books to other people.
It is always a good idea to give the shopper a chance to review the shipping and billing addresses prior to final order. I have in the past had ordered shipped to the previous order's address much to the dismay of the receiving party. Very inconvenient.
I ordered the book, received it in record time, and had it all read two days later. I'm writing a podcast, and the research for that podcast must be completed in a timely manner. I was very pleased with how quickly this process unfolded.
Search functions, sorting, checkout, payment options... everything on this website just WORKS, seamlessly and painlessly.
I wasn't getting a response from messages to seller after several days, so I contacted Alibris client services. They responded the next day with relevant information and I received my book later that day.
All good. Book was used, as expected, and included some dryed flowers inside, which inked the paper in some pages, but all good
Quick and simple interface, found what I wanted quickly. No women in space stunt. Shouldn't we be interested in real female astronauts?
My first time ordering from Alibris and I enjoyed it. The price was amazing and way cheaper than other places for the item I purchased. I will probably order again in the future. Thank you!
I've been an Alibris customer for more than 10 years and all my experiences with them have been great. From excellent prices to excellent service I highly recommend them.
My experience is, as it has consistently been over many years, excellent.
I received my order promptly and in very good condition. ( I don't believe it is necessary to type 100 words in order to submit this review.)
I am pleased to have found the book here. You are always the first place I check and compare the price with others, and I am never disappointed. Thank you.
This is a good form of recycling used books that are still useful. Thanks
Great! Good service as expected. Book in great condition. I'm happy with the results. Will buy again when I'm in need of another book
Satisfactory, great prices. Good to buy in bulk; uses a ton of stores from all over the globe and deliverances usually take only a week.
I indeed received my package a few weeks as described. My copy of Lavell Crawford-Can A Brother Get Some Love? DVD was without a doubt dope n hilarious! I ended up ordering another Stand-Up Comedy DVD the following business days, New York Laugh With Africa DVD. This is definitely something you see late night on Comedy Cental from a while back. Thanks again Alibris!
Having a great time selecting and purchasing my items. Wish more items where available.
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.
