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.

Fast, easy, great prices. Love the website and vast selections.
Love the vast array of subjects for books. Great prices!
Shipping was much more than I had expected when I shopped for the book and put it in my basket.
Thank you! It was a gratifying experience to find it available through your resources.
I find books and compare prices on alibris all the time. It's my go-to for reasonably priced used books!
I often check several different sites when looking for used books. I usually have the best luck with alibris.com. They have the titles I'm looking for, and the prices are very competitive (or less) than other sites.
The order was easy to place and it took very little time. I appreciate that my information was saved.
It was easy to order from Alibris, and the price was reasonable.
Yay, three books in one volume from a new to me author. Happy reading to me. 😁
All my expectations are met with Alibris. I can usually find what I am looking for
My book was set on my front steps in the rain. The plastic package was cut open, so the rain got into the book and ruined it.
I am sending this as a gift to my mom, but I had difficulty with the billing address and the shipping address being different. I had to send the bill to my mom to get it to accept my payment.
Overall a good experience. First time I had been asked for a password.
I haven't shopped on here for awhile but I found only here the rare out-of-print that I was seeking for 1/4 the price on Amazon.
I've purchased from Alibris a few times, and each time transactions are seamless and so easy to use. Pricing is great and shipping is fast and reliable.
This was a slight learning curve since it is the first time Ive done this. Overall it was great but the constant requirement to sign in over and over was somewhat annoying.
Your prices were great. Shipping wasn't too bad. But I had to order the same item three times because the seller ran out of stock and canceled my order the next day. I'm hoping the third time's a charm. It's a bit annoying that the item cost a little more each time than the time before.
You had what I wanted a great prices! The free shipping deal is also much appreciated.
If there's a book I'm looking for that I'm having a hard time finding, I always use Alibris.com. I can almost always find it at a great price!
I have doing business with Alibris since 2015 and it is always been a good experience. The books I have purchased have allways been sent on time customer service is excellent.
I have ordered from you before and never had any issues thanks
The book I wanted was easy to find at a moderate price. I have also located other hard to find books here in the past.
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.
