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.

Great staff had no problem came fast would recommend to all.
It was easy, there were many copies of the book i wanted, and the prices were good
Easily found the edition I wanted in VG shape! Have purchased multiple books from Alibris.
Good price, able to use prior credit. Products are as advertised.
I knew the book wouldn't be in great condition, but it was significantly more thrashed than I expected. A good amount of the pages were dog-eared or folded in like it was in a bag being jostled around with other heavy stuff at some point. A little torn and definitely used many times, but the price was VERY low so I don't mind too much. The only thing that pushed it under 4 stars was that the shipping cost put it well over a price that I would reasonably expect to pay for a book in this type of condition.
Easy to complete. Excited to have the chance to buy a used book instead of new. Reduce. Reuse, recycle!
Great website, wonderful pricing and you always have a great selection
Easy to find the books I want. Prices are amazing as well as the selection
Found the book I wanted at a reasonable price. Site was easy to use.
Very convenient. Cheaper options of books. I'm satisfied with the purchase.
Able to get six new copies of a book to distribute to my children at a great price.
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.
