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 have read many, many books since I turned 40 and I am 66 years old now. The author that is my favorite right now is, Carolyn Brown. I read anything from her that I can find. And I usually find what I'm am looking for on Alibris.com. Thank you for making books easy to come by.

Best price including shipping. I'll see if the condition is as described when it arrives.
Alibris had good prices, the book ordered was in mint condtion (a 1943 printing of Lassie Come Home).
I wanted to read the original in the east Yorkshire dialect.
I ordered a book in "fair" condition and received it in excellent condition fairly quickly! I will certainly use their services again!
Thanks for the quick delivery of my CD that was not broken. I appreciate your service.
I have always got good service, and 99% of my purchases have been good. A few have been lost in shipping, and 1 recently arrived damaged. Not due to shipping, a bad copy, i believe. I had been refunded before it arrived, and todays ordered is for a replacement copy, and another I was refunded.
SO FAR, SO GOOD, BUT SHIPPING HAS GOTTEN STUPID, COST WISE..
This book arrived in record time and in perfect condition. I am pleased with the purchase.
I had trouble because i forgot my old password. It was very easy following your instructions to reset my password. It has been a while since i ordered from you.
The sheer amount of books I have been able to find here is wonderful!
I ordered a book that was $49.99 everywhere else; I got it for less than half price.
And the book was in great shape!
Book in great condition. Fast shipping strongly recommended.
Easy buy, cheap price and fast shipping, i like this site and more
Books arrived on time and in good condition. The shipping and handling cost was a little high,I guess because the boos came from different warehouses. Ordering, tracking and shipping were all good.
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.
