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.

Hoping for smooth shipping. Able to find a used book at fair price
Had an old book I wanted in good condition at a good price. Thanks!
Placed an order 4 days ago and received acknowledgement. Just now got notice not available. "Sincerely sorry." If you were merely sorry, I'd be upset, but since you're sincerely sorry, I guess everything's OK.
Easy to order from Alibris… alway look here for unusual books I need. Thank you for your service! I always come back to the site.
Easy to search, find and select used book we wanted - thanks!
Great product and quick shipping. Item was packaged well and came as described. I will be using again and would recommend.
Received my books in the conditions as stated. Shipping was decent as well. I will continue shopping here!

Good experience 👍🏽 Yay. The book is beautiful. Whoo. Hsvdjsjsj. Jsbdks djs. Is anxjkaka. Jabdksjs meow.
Shipping is too high now and I used to buy from the same vendor when I bought different books, but there isn't a discount for that anymore. Oh well...
Very good price. I can usually find almost brand new books here and they are always cheaper than the shipping cost. Interesting, right. Most of the time they are in very good condition and I can pass them on to others.
All good, no issues, quick delivery, thank you, I ordered the book and it arrived. I am excited to read it now
Good until it came to returns. I have had difficulty getting a return label when my printer didn't work.
Good selection, good prices, easy transaction. This was my first transaction with Alibris.
Very easy to order my books, although 3 Mallory books were in Fair Condition. But the rest of my order the books were in Excellent shape. I will continue to order and will try to chose the Best/Excellent condition books.
Thanks
Good service all around. I love the book I received and that they have a great selection. I would definitely recommend this site for others. Delivery was accurate and on time.
The book arrived in a timely manner and was what was expected. I appreciate the opportunity to purchase books from a site other than Amazon.
It is easy! And this request of yours for 50 characters makes difficult...
I hope this book would be great source of information about climate change mitigation.
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.
