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.

Easy web site to find what I was looking forward and easy to changed outdated personal information.
I got my book I ordered very quickly! I can't wait to enjoy this book and learn from it!
I was happy to receive the order and thought the price was fair, but I thought the postal charge was a bit high given the value shown on the postal meter sticker affixed to the envelope for a publication the size of a magazine mailed from one city to another in British Columbia.
Item received. Thank you! Will shop here again. Quick shipping and good communication.
SO easy to order, lots of choices, I always choose Alibris unless I'm supporting a local independent bookseller.
I was looking for a certain book and found a used one in pristine condition for a fraction of the price. I'll be checking Alibris again the next time I need to buy a book.
Easy to find the book I needed and easy to ship it to a grandchild directly.
Streamlined all the way! Book was easy to find, easy to choose type and quality, easy to order, easy to create account. Many thanks!
Good price for the book I purchased, fast delivery, and overall a great experience!
A+ great site for finding hard to find books. Been using it for over a decade.
Found what I needed, good price, reasonable shipping and no website hassles.
Purchased a used book came and all was good. I hate to purchase new when there are such good options. The book did have some writing inside,a note to the original owner, but that was fine for me.
Very friendly user site. Prices are fair. Waiting to see how long it takes to arrive.
Love you guys! Quick, efficient, and you so often carry books I love when other places do not.
This is the second time I am ordering this book from this site. The previous order was cancelled because the book advertised was not available.
Great choices.
Reasonable pricing.
Fast delivery.
What more could one ask?!
Fast, simple, and great deals! Alibris is my go-to for great books at a fair price.
Tracking info was great, my book arrived in a timely fashion and is in excellent condition as described! Very happy!
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.
