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 received an email indicating that my order could not be filled and was offered a close substitute for the original order. Given the inconvenience, I asked/emailed a request for a coupon code. I did not receive a reply. I am disappointed because a small gesture, such as a slight discount from a coupon, would have gone a long way to a loyal customer.
I have no experience so far, this is the first time I have ordered from this website but I am hoping that the quick expedited delivery is REALLY expedited!
I've really appreciated the service Alibris provides. I've always received the books I've ordered in a timely manner, and the condition they are in has always been correct according to their description. Great deals.

I don't want to submit a review. I'm not sure where it would go and why I need to include a review for the this purchase.
Thank you for an excellent service. I received the book in less than 4 days.

Excellent condition, good value, delivery time longer this time but may have been due to the 2 hurricanes we experienced.
Always easy to order and was never dissatisfied with any purchase.

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.

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.
