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.

Quick, easy to order, great prices, always have Every book I have ever ordered. My go to site for books
Found what was looking for. Reasonable price. Quick and easy ordering.
I love that Alibris is able to find older, out of print books! Alibris is my go-to site when I or my son are looking for hard-to-find copies.
Quick, easy and my cart was still there in the morning. Lots of books I considered.
I have been an Alibris satisfied customer for years. They have the best assortment of books from research to pleasure. Plus, recycling books is satisfying and an easy way to be eco- conscious. And the prices are good too. Win,win,win.
My order was processed in a timely fashion. I'm very pleased with Alibris' service.
Alibis is a great help in finding just the right Christmas gift!
I've always been able to find what I'm looking for at Alibris!
Always have good experience in finding books, videos, music and have not been disappointed with items I purchased.
Easy to navigate and a great selection of media. I have been shopping with you for years.
Shopping and delivery was no problem, it came quickly as possible. However, I ordered two different items, which I thought would arrive at the same time, but, each item was delivered separately. I ordered "The Simpsons" season 9 and season 7. Season 9 came first and there was no problem with that. However, season 7 came a week later and two of the disk couldn't play. I quickly emailed the problem and customer service was really happy to replace the product, which I'm really happy for. I'm glad they fixed the problem quickly.
Straightforward search and filtering resulted in minimal time to find and pay for the book for which I was looking.
I was able to purchase five boks all by the same author at very good prices. They were used and in excellent conditions. They arrived promptly. Shopping at Thrift Books was a pleasure and would do it again.
It is great, Really I have to write so much. I almost didn't do the survey based on this requirement.
I am looking forward to receiving a "new" book, from Alibris, as advertised. Also I am very pleased with the existing procedure for ordering my selected document. Thank you for your service. Gerald

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.
