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.

Finding the book that I wanted was easy and while it is a lightly used book that is exactly what I was looking for to pay partial cost on an expensive book. The price was good shipping time was good can't wait to find more things to read so I can come back and shop.
This is the place I go to to buy the books I'm interested in, great pricing.
Thank you Alibris for your company to be able to find books I can't get anywhere else.
Excellent, as always. Best place to find quality used books
Always good. The internet was a bit slow. I found what I needed.
Wow, for what I want, Alibris is the only game in town! I can find books on this site that are not available anywhere else.
Books are wonderful. Even do I haven't been able to find the books that I want knights of the zodiac volume 10,17, and 21.
Love, love, love Alibris! I receive regular coupons and often qualify for free shipping. As a book source Alibris rarely ever lets me down.
Great app. Easy to use and manage. Excellent inventory. I've used Alibris for years and I have never been disappointed.
My experience was great but they need more books from top authors
All as expected except no break in shipping even if more than one book is from same shop.
Would like to be able to group same title at same seller, or group all of what a seller's titles are, just to see if I can reduce shipping. Shipping way more than the books! And lots of packaging then too.
Easy Peasy! Quality books and hard to find books at fair prices. First stop when looking for cool books I find being used as decorations in stores or table books in hotels.
The book arrived sooner than expected and was well packaged. Condition of the book was accurately described. A good experience.
For a given title there are often many copies to choose from. Unlike most online used booksellers, Alibris makes it easy to sort copies by price and condition, along with other criteria.
Always a pleasure to shop at Alibris. Easy to find the books I am looking for
I have shopped at Alibris many times and recommend them to everyone.
Excellent found what I was looking for at a great price. Product was in great condition as described Arrived in the time frame given. Was very happy with the service and will be ordering more.
Was kind of loopy at first, came back to beginning 2 times, had to save item to cart again, but is OK.
My experience was I searched for what i wanted, ordered it, paid for it, received it, read it.
Process is straightforward, site is responsive, selection is good (for today). Would prefer to be able to see shipping cost without an extra click while in the main view.
I love Alibris! It is the first place I search for books, snd I usually find them here with awesome prices.
Ordering was easy. Product came when promised and was what was advertised. Price was good.
O Efficient and done with care I have always had good service with
Alibris. I hope you are aware of the
Canadian postal strike that is on just now.
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.
