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.

Found just what I was looking for. Name, password and payment are saved here, so in a couple of clicks my books are ordered. Thank you!
My order was processed really fast and the product was in an excellent condition!
One book (a sewing book for children) was indeed in excellent shape. The other (a Gregg shorthand book) was described as "very good". I would have described it only as good - in addition to markings inside the front cover, which were mentioned, there were markings throughout the book.
I enjoyed the first book (Ancillary Justice). Give me more! Unfortunately, I've got this rather large pile… but someday, sometime… I'll listen it in my car.
This was such a a good deal on a great book that I used to read as a child. Thanks!
Extremely convenient, and offering more options and prices on the books I was seeking. Moreover I enjoy the advantage of purchasing books from book dealers, rather than a conglomerate seeking to eliminate competition in every sphere of merchandise.
Excellent book & service! I will definitely make future purchases with Alibris.
Easy to find the book I wanted and it was a nice choice of sellers
Received the book in good condition - would have appreciated a tracking number
5th purchase this month - reliability, pricing, easy to use website, never any problems. Keep up the good work.
Many buying options, clearly giving necessary information, easy checkout, reliability
Happy with the experience; I didn't really want one with the movie cover on the Hobbit but that's a-ok: still happy and would recommend and shop again.
Very quick and convenient! I was searching for a very elusive and older Christmas title and it showed up on Alibris.
Found out-of-print book and had a great choice of condition.
Great beyond expectations, appreciate it and I resent thee 50 character rule. Am I there yet.
Alibris is the first site i came to many years ago! They are the best!
You indicated this would qualify for free shipping, but at check out it charged $4.99. I still ordered the book, but you need to be clearer if shipping is indeed not free.
The website is easy to navigate and it is fun to search for books and read about them.
Fast, easy and had a copy of what I wanted at the right price point
It's simple: I sought a book recommended to me by one of my favorite YouTubers and found it at a good price in the condition I wanted at this store. It was delivered to me within the time frame specified, and as usual, in better condition than I expected.
Found the book i want at a good price, shipping time and price included.
This site had the book that I wanted as a soft cover book. I did not want an ebook.
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.
