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.

I received my item in a timely manner and in good condition. Would order from this site again. This review wants me to write 100 characters but what else is there to say
I received my book has promised and in a timely manner. I have received books from this website for over two years.
They have great prices on hard to find books.They mailed them out quickly and received in great condition.
I was not familiar with your company and had some trepidations, but everything worked out just fine and I may be ordering more books from you.
Not easy to find book or complete forms. I didn't know the shopping amount until the end.
I received this order on time and in the condition it was advertised. Though I don't like having to arbitrarily enter extra words just to fulfill an algorithm. Please remove the 100 character limit as it is completely unnecessary. If you are asking for reviews, they should be what your customer wants to say, in their words, good or bad.
Everything was perfect, thank you very much. The process was clear and easy to understand, both the purchase and payment process. A very good platform, I would definitely buy from you again.
Nice selection of kid's books. I've used you for years and have NEVER had a problem. I have suggested you to multiple friends as well.
You always have the exact book for which I am looking. My only feedback about this experience on 7/15/24 is that I attempted to remove a cc from the payment method since it was compromised and had to be replaced. I was unable to do so.
Great service. I would like to see on the shopping cart 4 things- 1name of movie, etc., 2format-dvd or vhs for example, 3region if dvd, and 4price.
You sent what I ordered and it came. Yay! I'm glad to know you are doing your job and doing it well. I ordered On Tyranny and one other book.
Book was in fair condition and came on time! I don't think there's much else that I could've asked for.
Found exactly what I waned, easy checkout! Great experience.

Wow, so many titles; easy navigation--who could ask for more?!
I'm happy to be connected to smaller book stores around the country. They have multiple options for every title I've searched! Love the ease and the Optimized Cart options!
I have been shopping with Alibris for years. Book deliveries are always on time. I have never had a problem. 99% of the time, books are available. Even the rare ones. Thanks Alibris for being my go to for my books!
The Alibris site is easy to use. Most of the historical books requested were found. I generally shop here first before I proceed to any other site. I have shopped here for years in all genres. Thank you for your service. Carmen

Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.

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.
