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.

Great Site to find books! My go to site to purchase books!
Always a good experience finding & purchasing books!
Best price online so far and quick easy registered checkout.
Very easy to find what I want and to compare options. Thanks.
Always great service and selection. Good quality and sources.
Had what I was looking for. Several items to choose from in different condition.
I wish the shipping amount was visible when looking at the options for each title
All my choices for the book I wanted came up quickly and clearly. Love being able to use PayPal, also.
I had never used Alibris and did not know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of placing my order and the quick shipping time. I'll definitely order again!
Appeared to be the best option as regard to cost, availability, condition and shipping costs. Delivery was quick, condition was better than expected. This was the best experience with used book sellers I have experienced.
Great selection of hard to find books! Great job and happy Christmas!
Some sellers are phenomenal, others? Less awesome. Alibris always has great prices and selection though, so it is worth it to give it a shot.
I have never had any past problems with any books i received!
It appeared to be a long time before my order was delivered so I emailed the supplier. I was VERY impressed with the fast response - seemingly by real people, not automatic responses! Well done! Product in very good condition.
You can find anything. I ordered an early fifties show title and got it!
Found exactly what I wanted and website is super efficient!
I've been using Alibris for years and have never had a bad experience. Great prices for books and reliable service.
Old book good as new. No notes by previous owner, just slight chaffing at one end
No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem. No problem.
Great except for the default on "signing up for coupons". Wish that were opt-in rather than opt-out. I missed the button to turn it off, and wish I had, since I don't want email spams,
Great site as always! Long time customer, excellent selection of products
I am always very pleased with my purchases, the quality and the low prices.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.
Answer: Hi Dennis, That depends on where the seller is located and where your deliver address is as well. Generally, shipments within the States are delivered within a week or so, though holiday shipping might slow down a bit. 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 Valerie, If you have had a problem with your Visa or PayPal transactions on our site, please let us know the details at [email protected] so that we can investigate for you. Thank you for your question. 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.
