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.

Yourshipment took twice as many days once it left the supplier than it should have
I got a chinese version of the book and the price was refunded without question. It should be easier to see the language on the listing, though.
Efficient and quality. I have found it helpful use in groups to share with others.
Got a hard to find book for about half of what everyone else wanted
Book in excellent condition, at a reasonable price, and speedily delivered.
It was a bit of a scam. I was told if I entered my email, I would get a $5 coupon. I do it and then find I have to spend $50. You got my email and I got taken-not good!
Fast and easy checkout. I have used this site before (mostly for Bible Study books that are hard to find/out of print).
You happened to have my favorite Hallmark Christmas movie that I didn't think was even on the market & im so happy! I can't wait to watch it!
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.

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.
