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.

Simple and painless...inexpensive and speedy process. Hope it ships as efficiently!
Easy to find what I wanted, good prices. However there are too many demands made when trying to leave feedback. I was hoping to type a QUICK MESSAGE but was sent back to leave a longer one. I also didn't want the followup to make sure I'm satisfied with my order, but got the ever-annoying "are you sure?" message. It would be nice if you just let me type as little as I want, and accept that I don't want something.
I hope this is real because if it it this is my new favorite place to order books.
The site is arranged well and easy to navigate. I found what I needed quickly.

Very easy to navigate the website and wide selection of conditions of book for sale
The price was good, the quality of the book was very good, the shipping took a couple weeks, seemed a bit long.
I HAVENT BOUGHT A TON OF BOOKS HERE BUT I CAN ALWAYS FIND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR (I LOST MOST OF MY BOOKS DURING HURRICANE IKE IN 2008)
Everything was perfect. Your website and process made everything easy and efficient
The book was exactly as described and came well packaged and fast. Highly recommended
It was easy to find the book I was looking for. The description was detailed enough so I could make a sound buying decision. The price was was the best for the condition of the book.
Great ordering process and excellent book prices. Order does take a few days to arrive but that's understandable. Decent inventory too.
It was very easy & user friendly. Alibris also had the book I needed.
I was disappointed in my experience. I used to like Alibris, but it has changed.
The price looks good, then the shipping is added later and is alot more than expected. Books always ship for a special discount rate from the U.S. Post Office. I don't think it's over $8.00, which I was charged.
You guys often have the best prices!
My previous order was cancelled. I need this book for reference in an upcoming sermon I am preparing. I sure hope this one isn't cancelled or I may never shop this site again.
So far so good. We'll see how things go when it arrives. The ordering process was easy
Quick and easy checkout and appreciate using PayPal thanks!
Amazing website! Always love to use Alibris when purchasing books.
Ordered eights books and received them all within one to two weeks. As described and even received a vintage copy of one of the books which I am very pleased with.
Book was in excellent condition and arrived well before expected.
Great prices and a very diverse selection of books have
Brought me back to Alibris time and time again. Kudos
Alibris!
I can't complain as your prices are far more reasonable than Amazon!
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. 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.
