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.

Hoping it's received in great shape and plays well. For my adult daughter for Christmas.
Fast and easy! I've had good luck with Alibris, and hope to in the future.
Great experience.
Just wish I could check my complete order history and not just my recent order history.
I would like to see the shipping charge for each book, and when books ship from the same shop, I would like a discount on shipping.
Easy to find what I wanted, and surprisingly easy to check out! The price was great and the book was in amazing condition when it arrived
Found the book I wanted easily, although I thought this book might be difficult to find at a price I could afford.
I have shopped Alibris at least 10 years. I have not been disappointed. It's always my first choice.
Easy to use. Found what I needed quickly and the checkout process was one of the easiest I have used.
I love shopping Alibris for all kinds of books. I'd just read a bunch of chef memoirs and wanted to gather the cookbooks from these authors. Buying these books new would have cost a fortune, and I didn't need them to be new. I found them in pristine used condition from varying purveyors via Alibris and was happy with the book and shipping costs. Items arrived quickly and in excellent condition.
Not only do my books always arrive in a timely fashion for a great value, they are often in better condition than described. Most recently I ordered a popular vintage hardcover cookbook for $19 & it just happened to be from the library of Cary Grant- steal of a deal :)
Ok except "large print" is not shown on items in shopping cart
My book was shipped quickly and arrived in great condition as described.
Been using ALibris for decades. You are able to go back and see the books you have read, or where you left off on a series. Very pleased this company and want to support non Amazon sellers when I can.
Thank you so much for having this book shipped to a PO Box! We live in Big Bend National Park, TX, and very rarely anyone ships to a PO Box.
Finally I was able to find a book I have been trying to get for some time at a fairly reasonable price. I'm very happy to have found Alibris and will definitely use it again in thr future.
I always check with Alibris books to see if they carry a book that's on my reading list. They usually have what I'm looking for at a great price. Their books arrive without highlights, no underlining or margin notes which can be very distracting.
I'm glad to have the last book in the collection. Shipping and handling time was good. I did not mind the dent and tear to the back cover. But I would have liked a warning about the sticky tape on the back of the book (which I was able to remove without extra damage) because tape ruins books, but luckily this was recently applied, so easy enough to ease off.
I found exactly what I was looking for. A great price for a book! Thank you so much
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.
