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.

Excellent service. I've always purchased book using Alibris. They offer rare and very good books. I highly recommend it to everybody.
I am so happy I can find this new book yet at a reasonable price. We live only about 10 miles from where this occurred. Thank You
I just ordered a replacement book for one I had ordered by John Grisham. I'm confused about the billing. Will the amount be included in the other 2 books I have already ordered?
I got my used book for $35. Initially I was scared that my book's water damage, as described, was going to be horrible but in reality, the book looks good as new!
I was given a 5.00 discount code but I could not use it as there was no place to put a discount code.
Alibris is my go-to when I'm looking for a book to buy. They ship quickly and the description of their condition is always accurate.
I got the book on time and it was in good shape. I continue to be satisfied with Alibris
Clean covers and page edges, and a fairly tight binding. However, I personally would not have marketed the book as "new" with the first 45 pages full of orange highlighting.
THE GREATEST

It is not easy to find books in English where I live and Alibis saved the day. I found all the titles I was looking for and received all the books in perfect condition. I will shop again.
I like the trackable shipping option. Option of PayPal is convenient, too. Might have been nice to know the impact of tariffs had the book been shipped from EU or Canada.
Alibris has always been a great experience, if not 44 Charing Cross Road in atmosphere then darn close to Frank for diligence and that magical bookstore for selection.
This book is getting harder to find at an affordable price. So i came here, and sure enough, Alibris had a copy for me.
Love Alibris for great prices and books hard to find anywhere. Thanks!
I received an email asking for feedback on a book I ordered almost a month ago. It would have helped if the email had listed the book, instead of just an order number. I spent quite some time tracking down what book it was.
I don't mind, at all!, giving feedback, but don't waste my time by giving incomplete information.
Excellent selection, good search functions. Found the book I was looking for and appreciated the pertinent recommendation for another book.
Always quick and easy and i always find the book I'm looking for
I always find what I'm looking for and receive it in a short time.
Had I realized my book was coming from Puerto Rico, I might not have ordered it. It took a long time to arrive, but was in near-new condition and was half the price of a new book.
I nearly always find what I'm looking for and at a great price.
I found exactly what I was looking for very fast. This site was very easy to work with and I will definitely continue to return
Alibris has filled the gap for manga shoppers since the major manga seller in the U.S. has started delisting many titles, especially in the shoujo, josei. And seinen demographics. (Not that I'm hating on shonen, but I'm a middle aged lady so josei and seinen are the most likely to have the stories I'm interested in now.) I also appreciate the sensibly packed shipping method.
I love your business and have used it several times. It's wonderful to get books that are out of print and to know what to expect $#*!ing the condition they are in. Thank you for your services. I have used them in the past and hope your business will be around for a long time!
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.
