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 didn't get $5 off, even though I signed up twice for exclusive information on my phone and email.
I needed a used copy of a somewhat niche book. Alibris had the book available at a reasonable price and with a speedy shipping time.
I love alibris so much, the steps to checking out are very clear and easy. The way it gets books from local stores like half price or goodwill is nice. Im glad i get to get low priced used volumes here instead of close to 20 dollars on a usual book store :)
I got the book I wanted in the condition that was advertised.
I shop with you often and have always been pleased. Will continue to use your site for finding books.
Wonderfully simple site - the computer does all the work and throws in a small discount by "reorganizing" the cart
The ordering process was easy. This is my first time shopping at this website. I hope I'm not disappointed.
Always easy to find the books and the prices are great. Thank you so much!
I always check Alibris for the best price on the books I am looking for. Very happy with the buying experience
It was very easy to find the older books I was looking for Thank you.Previoud
My 3 books came in just a few days and were exactly the ones I had ordered. Thank you!
I had applied for the discount coupon and got the code READ 545 unfortunately I never could see where to enter. Plus the first book I ordered was cancelled and refund was supposedly issued but is still not received.
I love the ease with which I can find the titles I seek, then make choices among the results.
Book quality was as described. Shipping took longer than expected, but arrived in good condition. No complaints.
I found it very easy to get several great books at great prices!
I love ordering from here! I find books that are hard to find for a great price!
Received my book pronto and as advertised. I don't proactively recommend to friends or relatives but if anyone asks I would have nothing but positives to say about my experience.
I was skeptical about how good the books will look especially because they were so cheap but I looks so good - almost like new with little scratches. I'm so glad I found this place, hoping to order more next time.
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.
