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.

Books came wrapped securely and in excellent condition. I would highly recommend this service
Need to get use to your wording process thought it was little rough
It arrived quickly and I was excited to have my own copy and not have to borrow it from another teacher
I like that I can shop at many stores, but even after choosing books, I can use the optimize my order feature, to consolidate shipments from one store, saving on shipping had I ordered from more than one location.
I was completely happy with my purchase and the vendors response time.
Alibris is very easy to use. I usually find what I'm looking for.
Very easy and many options. This will be a great resource for future book purchases.
I have been a customer with Alibris for over 20 years and have always met with wonderful service, prompt handing of orders, and quick shipmdnts.
Fat fingers do not work like they used to
How can we make them better
Always look here for books to buy used that are in good condition. Good Service!
The book was in good condition and I received it very quickly.
No. You slip a question in and then another and another and now you are demanding me to describe and title, I will not be back to this site.
I was able to locate the book I wanted. I tried to buy it at Abe books for $2 less but they would not accept my card and they did not have a way to directly contact them. My bank said my card was active and not blocked on their end. I have been trying to get my purchase to go through since last night. It has been one big pain in the butt. I came to Alibris and I was done in 5 minutes. It was worth paying $2 more.
I discovered Alibris.com close to 10 years ago and rarely purchase books from any other site.
Book rating was accurate, excellent experience, shipping was timely
I use Alibris often. Never disappointed.
Prices are good, and books are in great condition.
Order was effectively delivered, as it was hard to find an e book in this specific edition of the book I needed
Alibris always has great prices, good quality, and my orders have always arrived in a timely manner.
Always a pleasure to use the web site, always prompt service!
Always a pleasant and expedient service here at Alibris! Always satifiesfied, I will return, next term.
It was extremely pleasant as always. I am so very thankful I found your website before my courses started this term. Your books are so reasonably priced compared to other sites and the ebooks are easy to obtain, no hassle.
So far so good It's a great store. I have shopped here before and very happy.
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. 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.
