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.

It was easy and hopefully it will be here in less than a week. Good pricing.
Large, diverse inventory, Best prices available. Prompt service.
Beautiful earrings arrived in a timely fashion. Very delicate craftsmanship. Haven't worn them yet, but stud should have technology for sleeping in them.
I didn't have enough in the cart to possibly make it worth $5 to ship, but the initial price of the product made up for it. - update - I ordered a movie from them and they actually included a second one that I didn't have. With the experience I had with this one, I'm sure to check here often. Thanks!
They had the book I needed and a good price. Easy to complete order.
I couldn't have found a better price for the book I ordered but it did take a long time to arrive and when it did arrive it sort of looked like a photocopied version of the book. It works for what I need and you can't beat the price!
Always in good shape always on time. Easy to use and order through
Great, easy experience, no issues whatsoever. Recommend them.
I ordered my product on 1/14 and didn't receive it until 1/30 after at least six emails back and forth. Not a pleasant experience.
It was my first time in Alibris. I registered my account and proceed to buy. The shopping experience was easy and fast.
Checking out was confusing and somewhat frustrating. Needs simplification, especially when shipping is free. Needs to say so in plain detail before confirmed. Too many steps.
Love shopping Alibris, and I always save money. Quick delivery.
I tried to order my digital book for a art history class and after processing my order your company said that they were not available in digital form.
The tracking number did not link to what was supposed to be the UPS website. I reached out, through email, to verify the tracking number and get an ETA, but received no response.
Great to find exactly what I'm looking for from multiple sellers in one trusted location!
Great music at super prices! I love having choices of sellers and pricing.
Seems to be a fair price. Looking forward to receiving item.
The books I've ordered were both in a good condition and delivered within 10 days of my original order.
Everything was in good condition. Despite the weather the package was delivered within scheduled time.
Knowing what to look for helps. Once it's found. No problem.
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 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.
