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.

So frustrating. Spent a long time on my cart just to have it deleted. Then your free shipping only turned out to apply to the truck icon books not my whole order.
First time purchasing from this site. I'm hoping it will be a greater experience. Please with the process looking forward to future selections.
You had a book at a price that was difficult/impossible to find from other vendors.
Do not sell out to the company-that-shall-not-be-named (large river in S. America)
Never ever sell out to the evil empire named after a iconic SA river...
I've used Alibris for years and have never had any problems.
No tracking provided but otherwise very good, good communication, thank you.
Great, but would like to know what the shipping amount is before I sign in to pay.
Friendly and very Easy to use. Plus a PayPal option is available.
I like your options and service, and I have been very happy with past purchases.
I bought this title that was hard to find as it is with most books that doesn't follow the allowed narrative, and it was delivered properly and without delay.
What happened to the free $20 you promised? Via Email, valid till midnight today it says.
Everything about the shopping experience was great, all my books arrived in perfect condition. My only complaint is that it arrived well past the estimated delivery date, but I think that was more on USPS than on Alibris. Would shop here again!
Easy to navigate and good prices on books and other merchandise.
Your company sent me an email with coupons. Great except when used the message comes back as expired.
I'm very happy with the content of the weaving book and can tell it will be a great book for instruction and for future reference.
The books were as described and came quickly. I thought the shipping was too much.
I always find books that I have been looking for. The range of titles and prices are great.
Able to find the books I wanted at very reasonable prices and condition.
Quick and easy. I don't know what else to say other then I have been a customer for quite some time.
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.
