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.

It was so easy and shipped quickly. Mostly, I was happy to support on online retailer that is not Amazon. I was buying an art book from a creator I like. Buying from a smaller organization makes me feel good.
So far, so good. Why do I have to type 50 characters?! You're pissing me off. You asked me to "please type a quick message about your shopping experience so far". So far all I did was place an order; so far all I know is that you may or may not $#*! it up. Stop the 50 characters bull$#*!!
All good. As expected. No complaints. Would do it all over again.
Bookseller couldn't fulfill my request to track pkg as suggested on alibris and gave me alternative ways to send it, and respond to him quickly. Worked FINE. Thanks
I found exactly the books that I was searching for and the prices were exceptional. The order arrived in just 3 days. I'm very satisfied with my books.
No complaints with the order. The book was in better condition than I thought it would be.
No complaints about my order. Bible was in very good condition.
I had received a email stating my book was ready to... then I went to Alibris and went through all the rigermarole to authorize my payment and get it shipped to me.
Often find books here when I can't find them in other places, and better prices.
The book I ordered was very reasonably priced, like new when I received it, and came very quickly.
Book was hard to find. Found it here. Fast shipping and delivery in great condition
New books are expensive. And if you are exploring a new topic or author, sometimes you can't afford to drop $100 for three books.
It was quick and easy to find what I needed. There are so many really good books to choose from.
Love your site; Have recommended to friends for years, even a high school librarian who did not know about you!
Just love Alivria. Can always find what I am looking for. Super great for gifts!
Painless and quick! Will buy from here again. One of the easier buying experiences I've had
I guess we have to jump through a hoop or two. I look forward to these books.
Efficient fast enough already too long this is silly reply why does it hafe to be long
As someone who loves books a great deal is always preferred!
Pristine copy of CC Lockwood's photography. The shipping was more than the book!
Quick and easy to find and purchase the wanted product, thank you
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
