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.

Good prices. I have used this site on several occasions. Always a good experience.
Easy to find books and order them - yay! I liked having a broad range of used and new books from which to choose.
I found the book I was looking for at a good price! I am happy that I discovered Alibris. Their price beat all competitors.
Easy breezy. Can find older books. Inexpensive. Shipping is good.
Normal online shopping. One drawback is each item doesn't have it's own photo so you have a better idea of the quality of your book
Alibris was ready to use and had great prices. The book is ordered didn't have any markings in it.
Came as it stated it would be while I tracked it. Books were as described and very affordable.
Awesome selection and price, can't beat Alibris for price and quality for buying the books you want!
I bought some books in hardcover and softcover. The hardcover description indicated they were sewn binding but they appear to be just glued. But that's likely a publisher error, not Alibris'.
Books arrived in good condition, though some minor compression on the edge was present, likely from shipping. The books could have been wrapped better with the paper packing cushion instead of simply placed as filler material.
Overall, recommend Alibris because the prices were cheaper than at the publisher's own website.
Great price, fast shipping. Would do a business with again.
Have been trying to locate a copy of this book and found it here!
I like the various selection available of the same title books.
Big inventory available at very good prices. I have been a customer for decades and found them less expensive than other used book sites.
Very easy to make orders. And had the book I wanted. And needed.
Ordered 2 books, received both in timely manner. Both were received in the time promised
I don't know how long it took for the book to arrive, but it was probably about 2 weeks. Usually things I order come more quickly.
One of the books had underlining. The other was in good shape.
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.
