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.

Easy to pick, easy to buy. It was more difficult to fill out this survey than it was to order a holiday gift for a family member!
This is my second order with your company. Was able to find the books to fill out the series I am reading. I was very pleased with my order. Was expecting to pay a lot more since some of the books were hardcover.
Always quick and easy to find and purchase! Great prices. Beats Amazon!
This site is great, the books have all come in good condition some like new. I continue to order books here.
This is my go-to site for ordering books for the past several years!

I would definitely recommend buying your books here.
Information about book was easy to find and specific. Ordering process was straightforward.

It was great! The book is in excellent condition. Can't wait to start using it.
Great deals, easy to navigate, timely shipping and adequate packaging.
Good site. Books listed conveniently by title or author. I like that I saw what bookstore my choice of book was being shipped from.
Website is easy to read and search for the gift I was looking for
Easy to purchase and fair pricing. The delivery was quick and packaged well
My only con regards the packaging used. This order required more than a bubble wrap package. Otherwise, a good buying experience.
When I'm buying books, my first choice is a local bookstore, but they can't carry everything and they can't get everything. Alibris can get any book (that I can think of) and they do it reasonably fast. It isn't as cheap as Amazon, a lot of the times, but using Alibris means not enriching the far-right plutocrats.
Fast and good selection Happy Happy Happy Happy you have this book in stock. Thank-you.
Found books here that I could not find elsewhere. Good resource.
I always find what I need, and I generally find it at a good price. Grateful!
I love A Libris. I hope to god you have no relationship with amazon.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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 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.
