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.

These were rather rare books that I have been searching for. Quick service, excellent condition. I will search here regularly.
Your store has on multiple times have found the older hard to find movies which has made me consider to only order from you. I also have gotten my order before the delivery date. I was really impressed with them then.
I like the new option to consolidate orders. It was easy to make a decision because I could see both methods side by side.
Easy to shop. Easy to understand. Easy to order. I was only going to buy one book on Amazon, but Rakuten popped up letting me know about this site, and I ended up buying that book and three other books. All four books with shipping came out less than the one book on Amazon. Hopefully these books will arrive on time. More information to come AFTER I receive the books.
I ordered two books, and they arrived in a timely manner - as described! Can't ask for more than that!
I liked being able to see where it was shipping from so I could decide if I wanted to wait or choose a closer vendor and get it quicker
I have ordered many times from Alibris over the years. Often, I can get a like-new quality book for less than ordering from Amazon.
Wide variety in choice in books, prices are very reasonable.
Book in good shape and delivered on time. The book was delivered as promised in my mailbox. While I am not thrilled with the post office this is not on Alibris
Positive I have been very pleased. I have ordered from Alibris for years and will continue to do so 🙂
Couldn't be better! They notified me when they sent it which was I think the day I ordered it and then I got it so quickly and they notified me then that it was sent. It came and I think 4 days. Just in time for my 79th birthday. Thanks again
Overall experience was good. Book arrived in good shape and in a timely manner. I don't like being constantly pushed to write a review tho…emails to confirm receipt kept coming, so i confirmed receipt…but it really wants (insists on) a review too, so here it is.
Good prices on used books, except for the shipping costs.A. Lot of choices of books of any kind.
Easy to navigate website, and lots of choices for may subjects.
Great place to find quality books at great price
Shipping costs more than the book does though

Will return when looking for specific
Books
My coupons never come up at checkout. I always receive discount emails, but they do not show up with my cart.
My choice for a wide selection of varied books.
Service is timely and I was given a choice of possible books.
My shopping experience was great today. Alibris had the best price for the book I was looking for, I always price compare and alibris is one of the companies that I shop with.
I found everything I was looking for and did not have to shop at the dreaded Aholeamazon.
I received my order as described. They keep emailing though asking if I received my order, which results in me being directed to leave a review. Annoying, so I'm deducting a star.
We had a difficult time finding these books at a great price. I appreciate the fast shipping. My books were in great condition.
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.
