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.

Thankful to connect a prized childhood book so i can read it to 5 grandkids
Fast to find what I want and I do not feed the monopolist, but the independent book sellers.
Book was "acceptable " but actually in great condition. The price was very low. I felt glad I hadn't bought it new.

Thank you / Alibris is heaven sent: There's no better place for what we are looking for...
Thank you very much Alibris for always coming through with affordable treasures... beautiful books
I tried to order 2 books at once, but only 1 appeared at checkout. I had to order the second book in a separate order, which may have cost additional expense in shipping. Not cool.
Usually the delivery takes a while but books are always in good condition.
I was able to find what I was looking for easily and order it without complications.
The Alibris site is clear and easy to use. Not every site has gone to the trouble to do this. The effort is much appreciated.
So easy every time. I love the savings. They have all the books I am looking for.
You always have what I need - even the obscure titles show up.
The title was easily available. I like the option of which seller to purchase from.
Have been looking for these type books for a few weeks, so glad I found this site. My son will enjoy this xmas present.
It arrived in the condition as described and no problems were seen
Easy to find what I was looking for and make purchase. All of the books I was looking for were in stock.
The shipping time was fast. The book was packaged well. The condition of the book is better than I expected, and I am very happy with receiving this book. I thank the seller for a swift, flawless experience and also appreciate the competitive pricing that is easier on my budget than what many sellers are now offering this title for.
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.
