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.

Payment site glitched and the $5 off offer was not communicated clearly, so I had to go back in 2 times to make the purchase.
Great selection. Good price. Easy purchasing experience but need one chage. How can I choose expedited shipping?
Easy to find books that I have in the past owned, but over the years have lost.
Site is ok. Product prices are fine. Shipping is outrageous for CDs.
I was delighted to have an option of a better revised shopping cart! What a deal.
Ordered one of my favorite mini-series from the 80's and was pleased to receive a brand new item still in the original cellophane. As always Alibris and its vendors meet or exceed my expectations.
Timely delivery. Items exceeded expectations with respect to advertised purchase condition. Packaging was problematic leading to very slight damage during shipment.
The description of book seems to have all of the information that I will need.
Easy and simple. I found the book I wanted and ordered it within 5 minutes without a hassle.
Sight works well easy to find books good prices sipping a little much
We love everything about Alibris! Always have great deals and great finds on many books
Fine with me. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah this is ridiculous. This message requirement I DO not like.
Alibris made it easy to find the titles I was looking for, and to check reviews of sellers. Thanks, Alibris.
Alibris has a great selection to choose from, better than many others in most cases and sellers prices are reasonable.
Quick & efficient. Simple checkout procedure, great price for product
I wanted to enter the coupon code " DISPLAY" to get $15 off, which I'm entitled to because my order was above $125. However, it didn't give me that option. Furthermore, I wanted to add another ebook to my shopping card "Understanding and Treating Sex and Pornography Addiction( 365 Day Rental; Price: $21.45). It didn't give that option either! Please bill my card for $6.45 ($21.45 - $15 = $ 6.45).
Thanks!

My shopping experience was fast and easy I found everything I was looking for it with not a problem or care in the world. It was that easy.
Expeditious, easy, great selection of books. Historically, have found Alibris to be a reliable resource.
Very pleased with the transaction and with the product (book) received.
Shipping is too high, cost almost as much or more than the books themselves
The shopping experience was great. I found exactly what I was looking for.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
