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.

Alibris was the only bookstore that had an out of print story by Sandra Cisneros. Delivery was prompt, book was in excellent condition, and price was reasonable.
Wonderful as always, book came in quickly, in the condition stated. Thank you!
Was quick and east to order so I hope it comes in the mail just as quickly :)
Pleased to locate this book especially since Barnes & Noble said it does not exist.
Extremely pleased with all books received in the past and look forward to ordering more in the future.
Easy to order, easy to sign in, easy to pay. Will buy from again.
Because I am not buying from Amazon! I am not supporting a billionaire that cares nothing about our country.
Service was fine, and book a hood value.
Unsubscribing has been difficult.
Three tries and still getting email messages,
I ordered a set of I Survived books for my son. They were priced under $30 when on Amazon the same set new was close to $100. We got them in a reasonable amount of time and they appeared to be bread new! Not even a crack in the paperback spines! So $20 compared to nearly $100 for books in brand new condition!
Swift! Easy transaction, and experience is that descriptions are accurate.
I found the experience to be quick and concise. Once I found the book, I just verified some data and made the purchase.
I thought that it was fast and reliable, yet I think that there should be a better tracking system in place. However, I'm not quite sure if that's the responsibility of the seller or Alibris!
I've purchased many books through Alibris, and I've never been disappointed!
Someone posted about this book just before Christmas and I thought that it would make a great gift for my wife. Found it in no time on Alibris. Perfect condition, even though the book was over 30 years old. Prompt shipping. Great value overall.
Super cute super quick good online shopping experience. Cant wait for the book to come.
I've used Alibris long ago when I was in school. Glad to see it's still around!
Quick to order. Good selection and description of condition of book, age, and visuals of book versions. Offers of other books of interest and descriptions.
Very good. I am happy so far. Had the content I needed. *******890
Easy and Quick! The only other thing I would ask would be to be able to send items to different addresses
It was great except I could not correct the spelling of my first name on my card. It's PEARLE, not Pertle.
I'm pretty sure the seller identified this recording as on CD, instead it was on vinyl which I haven't used if 50 years.
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.
