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 found the book I was looking for right away. The checkout process was fast and intuitive.
Wish all could be combined in one shipment. Shipping is so expensive! I understand that Alibris has several vendors, and not sure of solution. For large orders, maybe Alibris could charge the customer a flat rate and get some reimbursed from vendors. Difficult with large orders.
Easy to find what I'm looking for. I with it was a little easier to find additional content from the same seller but the system in place works.

Easy to maneuver website. Plus, I love that you have the feature that allows me to compare and choose to switch vendors to bundle and save shipping!
I didn't see shipping till I had ordered and didn't want to go back to find free shipping. Make that more visible before ordering.
This was fine until I was required to agree to have my feedback posted on public websites. No longer fine.
Happy to find this title available and at a fair price...

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.
