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.

I received my book, but it was slow to ship. The book itself is fine, It's what I ordered and in perfect condition.
Very computer friendly and decent choices of books. Plan to shop here again.
1/3 of price anywhere else. Great book to learn the basics and fundamentals of residential building! I love it! Thank you
Thank you for the quick service except for this 50 characters nonsense
Ordering was seamless. Glad I got a promo discount to balance the S&H charges.

My experience with Alibris was fine, probably not going to order again because of the three emails I have received to review my experience
The book came is great condition and was affordably priced. It was cheaper on here than anywhere else.
Very good packaging, very good price, shipping time was reasonable, customer service was good they responded to my question quickly
Love the books and prices on this site. Will tell more once I receive the product.
So grateful this "very good" book was offered for sale. I look forward to reading it.
Easy to order, delivered when expected and competitive price. It's nice to have options other than Amazon.
Hard to find book that I've been looking for over the last several weeks. Glad to find it here.
Everything went as I expected. No problems. You expect too much in this section. I said I was satisfied. I will no longer agree to a review in the future, if you expect 100 words in this section.
Timely fulfillment of items ordered. All in good condition. Over long term usage, consistent performance.
A first person story of an Attu child when the Japanese arrived. I ordered this book because I have visited Atka and knew some of the people there. I was a teacher at Adak. The Aleutian basket makers are amazing people!
Great service and will look forward to reading the book that I ordered. It was delivered on time and in good condition. I would recommend Alibris to others for sure. I look forward to ordering more books from Alibris.
Please don't throw items in people's cart out if you take a long time going through looking for more items! Bad for you, bad for me! Reminds of a suicide pact...
Don't over-capitulate to some silly lawyer's advice about privacy, please.
Need way to flag which book sellers will combine shipping to save cost.
Alibris rescues great books that have already changed one life so they can be read again to change more lives.
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 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.
