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.

User friendly - easy checkout fair prices Merry Christmas!
The description said that it was a blu ray disc. But when I received it, it was a regular disc. It also had more scratches on it than the description said.
The ebook purchase was simple and straightforward. Thank you.
Easy to use and quick access to info on available hardcover and paperback used books.
All good, always like shopping at Alibris for the selection and price
Good website experience. Product selection was easy. And the checkout process was simple and straighforward.
Awesome, there's not much more to say. Thank you again…………………………………………………………
I encourage family and friends to visit the Alibris book site whenever the opportunity arises.
I bought a knitting magazine. It was under 2 dollars, paid 5 dollar shipping. It took a week and some change to get here. Not too bad could be better, really nice quality though
Book came quickly and was in good shape and price was good too.

Good; you ad the bilingual book I've been looking for!...
I signed up for coupon, but no coupon was available, and I checked my email but no coupon available?
Good price, timely delivery, quality of product was as stated
Great place to find esoteric or rare titles. Broad selection of all sorts of stuff.
As long as Alibris utilizes the seller that provided this book, I will NEVER purchase from Alibris again. Seller was absolutely absent with communication and timeliness of shipping. Alibris was able to make it right, though my experience is tainted to the point I will not be doing business again with them.
You charged me sales tax on the shipping in addition to the merchandise (books). My understanding is these is no sales tax on the shipping.
It was very easy to find the book I was interested. The problem I experienced was that I could not establish an account.
Wasted a lot of time trying to set up an account from the git go. It would have been nice to have the option to register at the outset as most site do. But I did get it done. I did get the books to order for my grandson. And the world didn't come to an end because your site UI wasted my time.
The book that I ordered arrived promptly and in good condition--considering it was previously owned.
I really appreciate the outstanding Customer Service I received. The Postal Service damaged the edges of the book. I reported it to the Vendor and they were kind enough to refund the cost of the book. Outstanding! I didn't ask for that, I just wanted them to know that it arrived in rough shape. I will definitely purchase from them again!
Good service, BUT when you offered to save me money by switching to an alternate seller, that option also removed my "get it by Christmas" option. I'm glad I realized that before actually ordering!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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 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.
