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.

Shipped quickly and well packaged. This is a valentine gift for my horror loving husband. It's been on his list for a while.
I Found what I wanted at a great price. The checkout was easy.
Good, and also not amazon. What more could you want? Also prices were good.
Great experience, I was skeptical of the low prices, but the book arrived in great condition and fairly quick!
I was looking for a used copy of an old textbook in ancient Greek. Among the listings, I discovered that this book was available in an e-book format for a reasonable price. I bought it, and now I can read this book through my Web browser. This is a great way to make these books available, and it's a nice addition to their core service.
Easier to shop with Alibris, and easier to change to my new email address
I got hacked and changed my email address. I have no access to my old address, so you couldn't confirm it is really me by trying to send information to my old email address. So I will just make my purchases from you as a "guest" even though I've been a customer of yours for years.
I love Alibris, but I don't want to have to type 50 characters to post a review that you asked for

Great to find inexpensive options for books that are out of print.
Excellent format. Very clear and intuitive site, logically laid out.
Great source for older books. I lost some favorite titles in a move and now I have them back!

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.
