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 thought it would be easy. It was a little awkward. I Prefer not to publish my comments.
One vendor sent a road atlas rather than the art book I ordered but sent a copy of the correct volume when notified. I am pleased ioverall.

This was a great book. I really enjoyed it. She is a great author. Stories like this are always good.
Received everything in perfect condition and sooner than I was expecting! Alibris remains the best and my favorite online bookstore ever
My book came in great condition, no complaints. Safe packaging, timely manner considering the distance. Thumbs up
Fair prices. Good selections. Quick shipping. Will definitely shop here again.
The book I received was fine but it was weird that it was a library book from the Denver library…? This has to be 100 characters but I have nothing else to say.
Solid services and descriptions. Alibris is a great alternative to Amazon, especially when buying in bulk with discounts applied.
I have been searching for this particular volume (Number 4 out of a series of 6) since 2008. I was delighted to finally find it. Ordering it was easy and it quickly arrived. The condition was as advertised.
The item was shipped promptly and arrived in good condition. Placing the order was simple and I had no issues.
You always seem to have the books I am looking for. I am so happy to pay less and to give the books new life.
Always very good service from all the dealers The dealers are always courteous unlike the individual that requested my comments
Easy process! Found books quickly and there were a lot of options to select from.
Quick easy to create my account. I look forward to my new book
Everything (Jack Grapes second level Method Writing book) arrived as described. It wasn't on my doorstep immediately like Amazon, but the last thing I want to do is support Amazon for obvious reasons. I can wait an extra day or two. Won't kill me.
The go-to bookstore for ordering older novels online with quick delivery. Very large selection with good customer service.
Ordered two books for my daughter's birthday, with a shipping date down to the wire. They arrived just in time!
Book was a gift to my daughter so I didn't read the book. She lives away so I have not had a chance to ask her about her experience.
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.

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.
