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.

I ordered a book while in Iceland and it arrived the day I returned home.
Prompt delivery, book was in excellent condition, will definitely order from her again
Hello. Thank you for reaching out. I was excited to place an order for a book and cd I have been looking for. I was going to use it for a listening center. I o my received the book but no cd. I reached out twice to the seller and they never contacted me. I ended up returning the book; however, I had to pay for shipping. I don't think I will be purchasing items from that seller again.
I always have a great transaction when I use Alibris. They don't disappoint.
Experience was great…price of book was extremely low, quality was fine and delivery time was fine.
Great way to save money and save resources
I like saving things from the trash
Fast and Easy. It's always great to find what you need and to be able to support the right kind of bookshop. (as in not corporate)
Easy, expedient and great selections. I have been shopping here more often then any other book site.
I had to re order this book I came the second time quickly the nook was in great condition
Still the best for finding books online! I've been using Alibris for more than a decade.
I've used this website for over a decade and it never disappoints.
I was hoping for a lesser price on a new book I purchased. But I am overall happy with Alibris.
Easy and books are available. Best site for book orders!
Will let you know when I receive my order so I must type more words to satisfy your need for more words...
Appreciate that one is not taxed on shipping like anazon does and the gastly free shipping is not available.
Finding all the books I need for a class for under half what a few would have cost!
I always forget to check here first when looking for books. Now that I have rediscovered this site I have shared it with my friends!
I found the books I need and the website is very easy to negotiate.
Easy to purchase. You had the book i was looking for. I am happy you send the book to my address.
I was able to find both books I wanted for a very reasonable price. The books were in great condition and it was delivered within the time frame it had mentioned. Very satisfied.
Easy, fast...a great experience. Fun to find great books at great 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.
