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.

Fine. Fine and dandy. Thank you very much. Free shipping would be nice.
I was at first surprised and confused, I ordered 7 books from one place and received all of them from different places. Once I learned what was going on it was a very good and efficient service. The first four books arrived in very quick time, the other 3 took a few weeks longer. All 7 books were in very good condition, I am very pleased to say.
Thankyou Alibris I highly recommend your company
The process was quick and easy. Navigating the site was a breeze. 👍🏻
I hear the book, Christmas at Hog Warts, is wonderful. It was sent as a gift. My only issue is have is my inability to track my package.
Easy to find the book that I wanted. It was at a good price to boot!
Thank you for asking. Alibris makes it easy to find the book you're looking for & proceed to the final sale & shipping.
Thank you for your wide selection of books.
HI MY FIRST TIME I ASKED FOR FASTER DELIVERY AND THINK I PAID FOR IT BUT AT THE END DOE NOT LOOK LIKE IT
It would be helpful to show books related in a series, if there is one. Otherwise, it's difficult to know if you're starting with the first one.
Fun and convenient--but the shipping is pretty expensive.
Love, looking for hard to find books! The prices here are extremely reasonable, a plus to my treasure hunt!
The website just works as it should - no funny business, up-sales or mis-directions.
Easy to read condition of used books and location of book sellers.
I ordered two books, neither available in new condition. Both were just as promised in the descriptions and one arrived early. The other arrived a week late but was still absolutely worth the price I paid for it.
Was able to easily find what I was looking for and checked out without an issue. My book arrived nicely packaged and was free if damage, and it took under a week to arrive.
As always with orders from Alibris my book arrived promptly, in good condition,
And was reasonably priced. Very happy with this order as I've been many times
In the past.
My shopping experience was very convenient. Being that I am a student, it also helped me save a little money.

I got a defective DVD brand new from another website so I wanted to have one that actually worked correctly, and this one is perfect.
Tracking was provided in timely manner. Good communication after the purchase.
Always pleased with both prices and availability of titles! Thank you!
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 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.
