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.

The order was shipped quickly, but it took a long time to arrive. This probably has nothing to do with the vendor.
Easy to find what I wanted. I looked on Amazon but I felt this was the better choice.
First order was received damaged/bent due to flimsy packaging. I had to spend time to package and ship back to you. It could not be exchanged, so I had to reorder. Now I have to pay $4.99 shipping again?
Reasonably priced, quick, easy, except you made add more words to the review.
Always a pleasure buying through Alibris. I use it whenever I am looking for books
It was easy to find a book that I wanted, and to order it. Let's see if the delivery is as easy, efficient, and rapid!
Quick and easy, as usual. Thanks alibris! I always find what I am looking for (and usually more) on this wonderful website.
Great site, easy to use and great values. I can always find the books that I am looking for at a great price.
I love being able to find unique books or expensive books here in great shape and shipped to me quickly.
Such a great site. Easy to navigate and find what I need and compare it with other sellers. I have always been happy with the description by the seller and agree with the sellers rating.
Found what I wanted at a good price including shipping and it was a good deal
Found book that my daughter wanted easily and it was a decent price plus shipping charges.
I wish the shipping were easier to calculate when adding items to cart.
I can always find the books I want here, no matter how obscure!
I purchased several items in a series of training materials from different sellers. Items from other sellers arrived in expected delivery windows. The two items in this order took two weeks longer than the latest date provided for estimated delivery. The seller was great and Alibris customer service was responsive but indicated it could take up to 30 days for your book to arrive. That is a long time.
I always come here first when looking for used books. Love this site!
I was very satisfied with the product and the time it took to receive it.
I always use alibris for my book needs, I'll use them all the time without a doubt.
Appears straightforward and user friendly.Hopefully condition on these CD's will match description!
One of the books seem to be too high priced for this site. That is all
I already receive almost one ad a day from Alibris. Would rather not receive any more!
So far, it's been easy. I'll wait to receive the book before I have a final opinion.
The book came in great shape.i don't know what else to tell you. Be happy with this.
There was a good selection of great books at reasonable prices. I found the website had easy and straightforward navigation.
Great prices and quality on used books. I was able to find a book that wasn't easily accessible. Super affordable also.
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.
