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 got the book I wanted very quickly. What more can you ask? The exact book in good condition and on time.
Book is in perfect shape and arrived quickly! I love looking for books here! Never fail to find exactly what I want!
Easy to navigate. Good selections. I thought my short but concise comments were enough.
Such a great find! Book was listed as good condition but it actually looks brand new! Quick service.
Transaction went well with prompt delivery. The book was received in OK condition as described and the delivery time was acceptable.
I was most pleased with my book order! It was in good condition and arrived in a timely fashion! Alibris has been consistent in delivering good quality books.
All was good. Recieved in a timely manner. Book in good condition. I don't mind answering your question about recieiving the book, but in order to do that I have to complete a survey. That I don't appreciate.
I have yet to have ever had any disappointment with using Alibris! Service and product are always good!
Just type in a title and there it is, with several choices, all reasonably priced!
Ordering off Alibris is super easy. My new go-to for finding books! The website is easy to use and I've never had a problem with shipping
I found a rare book at a great price and it was so easy to make the purchase. So happy!
The book arrived timely and in a good shape. I was a bit disappointed that has some underlined and writings on some pages.
I missed the exhibit at the British Museum on the "Silk Roads" but learned that the exhibit had a companion guidebook. The Museum itself had sold out. I hunted online and found a copy at Alibris - ordered it and it arrived in perfect condition- in fact better than I had hoped for. I've used Alibris for decades - it's gone through changes of ownership but remains a solid place to find hard-to-find tomes.
Love this site, easy to use, easy to place your order. And found a wonderful new and somewhat hard-to-find copy of Silk Roads (British Museum exhibit guide). Thank you for providing such a wonderful service to readers! 😀
Both books arrived and I am very happy with my purchase. Each book was delivered promptly and in excellent condition.
One if the 2 books ordered turned out to be in perfect condition (even containing an author inscription) Great oackaging and arrived right on time
Not sure if you can lower shipping to $3.99, which I usually pay for Amazon book order. THX!
Happy ~ Happiest:-):-):-) Easter!
Book arrived as described, promptly, and without muss or fuss. I didn't really interact with the seller, due to the lack of need to.
Good service. Order arrived in description as expected. No problems whatsoever. Will use this service again, and will recommend to all.
Ordered two books for a study session, both arrived quickly and I was prepared well in advanced thanks fo Alibris!
I did receive my order of 2 bras & I thank you for your service. But regrettably, they do not fit at all & I need to return them for a refund. Please instruct me what I need to do! Thanks in advance!

I Got the book, it's in much better shape than advertised. Thank you, ill keep an eye out for products.
Hope the book gets here. This seems like a really good deal for a really good book!
The condition of the books were exactly as described and shipped quickly. This describes my experience, I do not need to use 100 characters.
It was easy to order the books that I wanted by hard or soft cover.
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.
