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.

Very easy to find item and place order. Reasonable shipping. Good selection.
Easy to find what I needed at a good price. Shipping prices are still high.
On-line with Alibris is always good. The books/CDs are generally there at a fair price. Things arrive in good time and always in good condition. Would not be back for these several years if this were not true. Always a big thanks
I think the fact that y'all beg my email to tell y'all about my experience is annoying, but overall the shipping was fast and the book was in great condition.
Thank you for clarity, price and availability. Alibris has good selection, and provides reliable service.
I can not believe I found this book! The price was good, too.
Easy checkout.
Product arrived undamaged, unlike shipments I've received from Amazon.
Very pleased with this transaction. Thank you!
I have always been pleased with Alibris. If I'm looking to purchase a book, Alibris is ALWAYS my first stop.
I looked on all the major online shopping websites without success. Alibris came to my rescue with a plethora of old editions of books that are in good condition. The only problem was that I was using the book to discuss pathology at work, and it took longer than expected to ship the product. I am used to 1 day shipping. Anything more seems like a drag.
The alibis web site is fast and easy to use. I will look for other martial arts books here.
Love how simple the process was in finding and buying my book
Alibris is my go-to for used book buying. They keep the customer informed thruout the process and if I'm not satisfied the response is excellent. Keep it up.
Easy in and out. Very clear simple and informative and streamlined process.
Great timing! Allowed me to begin reading for class right away!
When I typed in my credit card, I made a mistake on the expiration month, but other then the option of add a new card, I could not find a way to correct the month of expiration so I used PayPal.
So far it was good. Let's see the next steps. I hope it will be all right.
The site is well organized so that you can find what you want quickly and choose from several offerings at different conditions and prices. You can even choose by vendor if you want. I always find what I am looking for. Why make Amazon richer?
It is very easy to order more items but I have difficulty changing orders with you. I am not great with computers and could use easier system
Very good//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
It wasn't too long ago that Alibris offered free shipping beyond a certain threshold. After 106.00 it's still piling on fees. I think I will search other sites more often from now on.
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.
