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.

Able to get six new copies of a book to distribute to my children at a great price.
Very easy to order via your website. I have ordered many books from you. Keep up the good work.
Great product, quick shipping, good communication a great bookseller to deal with.
I found the book that I was looking for at half the price it cost new. I received it in flawless condition shortly after ordering it.
All ways easy to navigate. The suggestions for other possible books ar very helpful
I had to contact alibris myself to get a tracking number.
Book was pretty damaged on corners and spine.
Packaging looked like it was through some tough time but book inside also had no extra protection.
Books need extra protection to survive longer international travel without getting damaged
Easy site to navigate. Price was extremely reasonable. Had exactly what I was looking for.
It was a breeze. Alibris is my first 'go to source' when looking for a book.
I usually enjoy shopping at Alibris, but this comment form is obnoxious.

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.
