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.

Fast efficient service. Have bought from before and am always satisfied.
I saved a lot on the book I purchased pre-owned and it was easy to complete the purchase. I'm new here so I'll be coming back.
Good books available at reasonable prices. I received my ordered book; it was in good condition.
Descriptions of book conditions as "Good," "Very Good," etc. are not standardized among sellers.
Great online bookstore, easy to order process and great prices. I highly recommend to others.
Very easy shopping. Lots of books...the prices are excellent! I'll shop again.
Great selections in good condition and reasonable prices.
It was quick and easy. Found what I needed. Looking forward to read these books. I love a good mysteries.
I like this movie. Love the acting, Plus, the use of Ella Fitzgerald's voice was an excellent choice.
Unless rigid carboard and/or bubble wrap is used to protect the book, corners and text blocks of paperbacks almost always are damaged during shipping - especially overseas shipping.
Several options were available, for publisher, condition of book, when published, and for the different sellers... all good information, and easy to differentiate and select. We have purchased books and other media through Alibris for twenty years, always being happy with the service.
Ordering was simple and arrival of the order was surprisingly quick.
I was very glad to find the used book on your website, but it took a long time to get here
So easy from the email to go right to what I want. No hassle ordering
I ordered used books and each one was in very good condition. I would use this service again and highly recommend it.
I love your site… everything I look for I find and for the most part it is at a reasonable price and I receive it within a decent time of ordering. I am grateful I can find even old school books on your site which keep me grounded and rooted in my spirituality! Thank you for making my experience a good one!
It was quick and efficient. The book was in good condition and shipped appropriately. Thank you!
On TV series, you often don't list the series or season or show a picture. Therefore, I have multiple copies of some episodes and no copies of others. Please provide all the information.
I had to look up two books in several ways because you didn't put them onto your list when I typed them into the search.
All around excellent experience! I ordered a textbook for class last minute as the other one from a different place didn't ship. Was very affordable and came fast.
It was over all a pretty good experience I was impressed with my experience with the company.
Got our books pretty quick & didn't contribute $1 to Amazon!
Found the books i wanted & didn't have to pay shipping, Fabulous!
Easy shopping and hopefully quick delivery as in past purchases.
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.
