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.

Why can't you combine orders from the same store to minimize shipping
I ordered a used book and received it in a timely manner as described. I'm very pleased.
Very happy to find this site. The prices are fantastic and checkout is easy. Will continue to buy from Alibris.
Nice website navigation, i found what i was looking for immediately!
Timely service. I usually receive a book in a few days and most are in pretty good shape.
I love Alibris. So often they have access to some obscure book I've found interest in reading. Their return policy is also excellent.
I love Alibris. I always find what I'm looking for through them.
Ordered one book and it came in a reasonable amount of time and at a fair price.
The books are in good shape. I didn't expect to need to write a dissertation.
Shipped fast and product was as ordered. Great prices. Will order from them again.
I just now received my book. But got this email prior asking me if I had received it. It would help if you indicate which book is purchased in the email when requesting information from a customer because I order many books from many places and had to find out which book this was. Yes the service always has been great. Thank you.
The selection here is great. The whole ordering process is easy.
I had ordered this book originally in August but it hadn't shown up by Oct 15. Alibris refunded me the cost, and offered some sellers who had it. The first company I chose got this book out within the week!
Book was very easy to find, even cam in large print, very reasonable price!
Easy to look up books and a wide variety. Will use this website again to buy books.
The book is in great condition. I will order from this website again.
It was great the info was helpful, the seller had the info in order and even a little background on the he band local H, 30 dollars is good I'm comparison to the other one I found for 52, with no case and it may play it had an autograph, but I'm buying it to listen
Real quick found exactly what I was looking forv
I was looking for an out of print book. I'd tried used book stores but no luck. I found it on Alibris and in just a few short days I had it in my hands.
My book was available I was able to use my own Credit Card to send the book to a dear friend with a different address than my billing address. Rating for the book was very good; hope it is because I know the Soup cook book will get a lot of use. Thanks for being here for all of us! Joanna
I have only ordered, now we will see how well they are shipped.
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.
