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.

Easy straightforward. Good experience ordering, not yet rec'd book.
Great prices! Great selection! Best on the market!
Good book and useful. Highly recommended. Nice listening.
I wrote asking about the shipping status of the book. I never received a response… The book finally arrived. There was no way to track it on my end. All I had was hope that it would indeed arrive. Not impressed with the service I (didn't) receive/d. The book was in good shape. My cousin is very happy with it.
Very easy. So far have received books in a timely fashion for a more than reasonable price.
I would definitely recommend this company. I enjoy my cd every day I get into my jeep. And Everytime I watch the concert.
Purchased an old edition which was ok but the hard book binding was shredded which would be ok too if the purchase price wasn't as high as it was. Should have been 50% less than what I paid.
Fast and the prices are very good for me as a student. THANK you.
Would like combined shipping rate for multiple books instead of each book having its own shipping rate
Super easy website to navigate. The book reviews were helpful. I was going to buy the book anyway but glad they were there.
Alibris will list e.g. Goodwill/ Dallas/ Los Angeles/ Seattle/ Baltimore, etc. One chooses the nearest city, hoping to receive for a certain date. That item ships from another faraway location, the shipping label printed at a completely different location.
Extremely pleased with the product but timing was a factor and "Goodwill: City nearby" option indicated a choice of location, while "Dallas" shipped from Los Angeles, label first printed in Ohio.
Easy peasy! Many options of copies and good descriptions of condition of books, And I always look for the closest book seller to me because of course I am in a hurry to get my order!
The 4 books I was specifically looking for were not available using traditional retailers or were twice the price at 'print by order' only. Very happy with the price and condition of the product.
You make it very easy to find and buy books. I also like that your prices are lower than average. Thank you.
I found the book I wanted, conveniently placed the order and received my item very quickly.
Site is good, but shipping cost is a little high. I had to calculate each book individually to make sure I was actually lower than the other outlets.
I thought I paid for a decent trade paperback copy of the Devil of Mankind but received a beat-up mass market paperback with a different cover than what I'd ordered.
I love it. I found just what I wanted. I especially love the Support Your Local Sheriff.
I am always so pleased that you provide so many different movies.
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. 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.
