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.

Great price great service quick delivery great communication. A+
It was efficient to add my order to the shopping cart and check out. Upon checking out, I was able to create an account that connected to my order.
Always get great deals and beautiful books from Alibris. And the rare problems that occur are fixed immediately.
Though I was hesitant to order from this specific shop via Alibris, everything worked out well.
Have been buying from Alibris for over 10 years, very happy!
Alibris is uncomplicated, everything is very clear, and it's easy to get what you need and check out quickly. I love shopping on this site.
I quickly found exactly what I wanted and a range of prices and conditions to choose from.
Quick and easy! Had what I needed where others did not and at the right price!
There was a good price compared to other similar stores online
We had no information from the seller and Alibris helped us.
You promised $5off but no coupon codes work. Interesting strategy. I am waiting time on your sight. Your company lacks integrity. Now I know to stick with other sights that are more honest.
Honestly, that's the most annoying part. Why can't I just rate this five stars and move on with my life? Everything was fine with the order. No complaints. But coercing a review out of someone is unlikely to yield good results.
I've been buying books at Alibi's for a few years now and am always satisfied with the service
I went on the website, I saw a book I needed. I ordered it. It came!
My first Alibris order … went smoothly, without a negative. Correct product arrived VERY TIMELY and in great condition.
Love it was satisfied with book. Loads of fun. Will buy again.
Only request is to show shipping time earlier in the process
Order arrived before scheduled time. The item arrived with no damage.
I was disappointed in the condition of the book. The cover immediately tore at the bottom. The cover and several first pages were creased. Many pages throughout were underlined in pink or yellow markers. There were several pages with comments written in ink or pink marker. The book was very worn.
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.
