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.

Easy. Book is in great shape—like new. I look to Alibris for my book club books. That's all there is to say.
The books are in great shape. The ordering process was easy. I would buy again. And this review wants me to make this 100 characters so here's an extra sentence.
I am enjoying the read and the quality of the book was excellent too. As a musician, I was given great insight into practice strategies that got me over the "stall" in my practice habits. This book is a must read for ANY musician.
Ordering from this website seems to be easily and quickly done.
Fairly easy to navigate, it could give more details without having to search for the info.
I have been looking for thi book for awhile to buy for a friend. Just found it here!
SRV was a phenomenal talent who left us too soon in the late 80s and up until his untimely death he brought back blues based tock guitar to the forefront
Shipping cost outrageously high. Six dollars on a.99 cent item.
Excellent service! Quick and easy! I found exactly what I wanted at an incredible price!
I don't even remember what book I had purchased so I can't tell you how I feel about the service I received.
I was surprised to have the book delivered over my opaque back yard gate and it seemed like an extra step taken for my security. Good job..
Very easy to order the book I wanted cheaper than other book stores!
I am so so grateful for Alibris. I get access to incredible books for incredIble prices while helping out the USPS and small book sellers.
Books are very expensive! Alibris has a range of listed prices and has some I can usually afford. Thank you. Books are not a pleasure but a real part of my professional. I find titles here that I cannot find anyplace else. THANK YOU.
I wasn't sure with delivery following, because of political turmoil; but following wasn't necessary, delivery was on date, and book condition better than advised. A+ Thanks.
I tried to correct the address to which book would e sent within five minutes of placing order. Couldn't do it. It went to a n address I have not lived at for three years. Should be away to right a wrong.
In good order and in good time. Thank you. It was a very easy transaction. Will use this source again.
Always a pleasure dealing with Alibris--thank you for great service; each purchase is exactly as described--thanks so much!
This book is exactly what I needed. Lots of information and painting exercises. I would recommend to all new to watercoloring.
This is the second time I bought this book gave the other one away so I wanted it again...
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 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.
