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.

Price, selection, delivery time, follow-up, customer service. Giving new life to older books couldn't be better than this.
Always quality books as described with ordering ease. I can count on them every time.
Always terrific books n service! I love the professionalism. I can always count on a great selection and accurate descriptions and reliable delivery. Thanks
I appreciate getting a beautiful art book for an amazing price. I also got it quickly and in excellent shape. Thank you!
Super easy to navigate website and great price. In stock. Shipping available to my country
Excellent experience. The twenty-five year old edition of a not especially well-known novel was available and easy to find. Thanks.
Space for state would not accept "California" Explanation appeared only at the top. I made 6 attempts before I discovered it would only accept a 2 letter code. Why not say that next to the space for entering state or province.
Pleasant experience!
I find the availability of books and excellent and the priocing very competitive. Thanks!
I was happy with the quality of my book and the delivery time. I have to remember to check alibris first.
Quick and easy, so glad to find this wonderful book, complete with all the stories and a little about the author herself!
So far, smooth. All probs mine. Can I view on phone + computer?
Website was easy to navigate, and gave numerous options to order.
An older movie recently came to mind. After a quick search on IMDB.com and then Alibris.com, I found the movie title and ordered a used copy. The order came on time and in the condition noted by the seller. The only hiccup was the DVD did not play in my older DVD player. It did play in my Blu-Ray/DVD player. I was happy with how it played and enjoyed the movie very much.
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.
