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.

It has been a pleasure doing business with you. The buying experience was very good. I received my book in great condition. Would gladly do business with this seller again
It was easy to find what I was looking for and place the order.
Terrific prices, variety of books, and prompt shipping!
I love alibris; hope it is always around. (this comment box has a fifty-character minimum.)
I like their ease of use on the platform. The quality of used book and the delivery time was reasonable. Even if the cost for delivery stings a little bit. I'd def order from here again.
Was looking for the text everywhere and Alibris offered an affordable price.
It came on time and I'm happy with my item. I always love buying things on Alibris
Have never had a problem ordering from them and always satified with the condition of the books.
Fast and easy purchase, its nice to find an alternative online retailer
It's very helpful! Thanks a lot! I find books that I can't find in library.
Elizabeth George is my new favorite writer. I was able to find almost all of her novels that were missing in my library at good prices and in good condition.
Shipping confusing. Should be able to sort by free shipping. Wouldn't let me use the small $5 discount unless I spent $50. My subtotal was 48. I was not about to add $2 to save $3.
Everywhere else I look this textbook cost an arm and a leg. This one is cheaper and still looked like brand new! And came in time for Christmas. So thank you!
I have been a customer for a long time, and have always been very happy with my purchases. Keep up the good work!
It was quite unusual to see, this time around, All three Books -especially those by Moo and Thiselton - were in terrible shape. The book on Pauline Theology by Moo was almost completely ripped off the cover!
Thank you that is all. I don't like having to type all this just to make a purchase. I'm busy
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.
