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 believe Alibris meets a great demand today! In just minutes I found and purchased 10 copies of the book I wanted... all without leaving home, following GPS to countless thrift stores, sorting through piles of books (many times without finding what I was looking for)... THANK YOU SO MUCH!
User friendly site, listing all available copies at various prices, with the ability to filter to preferences.
Always a pleasure using your website and receiving the books I order.
Bottom line, my nephew received the book that he wanted in time for his birthday last week. But since I had the book shipped directly to him in Michigan, I received no updates nor confirmation of when the book was shipped and delivered to him. But, I called and checked the old fashioned way with my nephew, and it had arrived. Whew!
Nice selection of used-to-new copies of this book in a wide variety of price ranges.
Order went out within 24 hours and arrived quickly and safely. Very satisfied. Would order again. Five stars.
Alibris is awesome. I can always find what I need. And there are so many varieties of books.
Book condition was as described and was shipped quickly. The only problem? My review was not long enough (too few characters). Guys, it was a satisfactory transaction- do I really need to expand on that?
Easy to use interface; lots of options at different price points.
I've ordered from this company before. Very long shipping times.
It was easy to locate and purchase the book I wanted. I will be purchasing from here again.
Ordered book and it arrived in time. Thanks for your attention and great book selection. Book was as described. I couldn't be happier. Ready for my next selection
Wish you honored my coupon, couldn't locate my coupon that you had sent
Excellent service! Easy online ordering & delivery was wuick! The price was exceptionally reasonable.
Shipping higher than most book sellers- I would be happy with shipping rate of $4 or less
I found exactly what I was looking for & for a cheaper price. Shipping was faster then I thought it would be
Easy & Straight forward. (Why do I have enter fifty characters?)
Shipped quickly, great packaging - product came exactly as described. Im not sure what else to say, 100 characters are required for this part... so
Both books arrived earlier than expected and in perfect condition. Every time I have ordered from Alibris my order has arrived early and it great condition. Way to go Alibris!
Selection, prices, descriptions and trusted customer service all easily add up to a 5-star rating.
My recent set of books and vinyl purchase through Alibris was excellent. It included both Alibris and partnering booksellers and each any every delivery was perfect. Both the packing and the excellent quality of the items were impressive. It's the recipe for ensuring repeat customers. Thank you,
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.

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.
