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.

After I decided to get six copies for the same book, it was easy to find several bookstores carrying exactly what I wanted!
One kind of wonders if many books bought at Alibris are gonna actually arrive from their various origins. And then they do and it's a delight to have a new library to be excited about and inspired by. Great experience!
Item received as described. Good condition, prompt international postage, packaged well. Thank you, would purchase from this seller again.
My experience was great! I received my book in a timely manner and it arrived in the condition that was described. Thanks.
Came exactly as described and at a normal book cost! Not over $50 like some people on pango or Mercari are trying to charge. Shipping was also super fast! Thank you!
My book was exactly as described and shipping was faster than expected. Only warning is for customs/duties on international buyers.
I ordered 2 books from 2 different suppliers. The books arrived within a reasonable time frame and were as described. The items were well packaged and had been promptly despatched by the sellers. I often use Alibris for books and they are regularly better prices than many other sellers, especially when postage is factored in. Previous dealings with Alibris have shown that their sellers act promptly if I flag up a problem. I am confident in their service.

I was talking to a family member about the book, and so we looked it up. There it was on Alibi's, inexpensive, easy to order. So I bought it, Easy.
My order arrived in short order and in better condition than advertised! I am happy with the seller and the item.
Love that my money is going towards bailing people out of jail! Excited to grow my banned book library.
Handled well
Will repeat in future It was an easy format to search and order
Thank you thank you thank you
I got the stuff I ordered, thank you. Do I really need to put 100 words in here? That seems excessive especially when I ordered two piano books and they came and there's not much else to say.
You can almost always find what you want here. Great resource!
This is a beautiful little book, what every art book should be. Was unfamiliar with Maud Lewis's story. We are all charmed by her paintings. The book was in excellent condition, with a prompt delivery. Very pleased π
I am very satisfied with my order so far. I was specifically looking for a book, and I trust that it will arrive in excellent condition, despite being used. Your attention to quality is greatly appreciated!
I have had easy online orders and tracking information with Alibris for many years.
I have used Alibris for years. They seem to always have what I want. Great sellers too!
You had the book I wanted and your website was easy to navigate! Great for an 80 year old with small tech ability. Thanks
I received the two movies I ordered. One was in Blu-Ray format and i should have noticed that. The other was in VHS format; I just do not know that it said so.
I will continue to order from Alibris. Past experience has been great. Your "search filter" is very good.2
I can always find what I want and almost always for the price I am willing to pay.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
