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.

Such a great website! Easy to navigate, have found every single book I was looking for and the prices are PHENOMENAL!
I found a book that looked interesting, based on a google search and this company had a used copy of the book, which was less expensive. The book arrived in a few days after purchasing.
Very pleased with my first purchase here. The book was even lovelier than expected, packed and shipped safely so it arrived pristine. Thank you.
Website is easy to navigate. The sellers provide clear information on the used books on offer. We shall see how prompt the shipping is.
Easy and better prices overall compared to other companies I've checked out.
Easy and reasonable. However, the pictured hardback I ordered was not the picture that came up when I was paying for this volume.
Very simple and easy to order. This is the first time to order a book on this site.
Strange messages hampered and delayed my quick purchase!
So far so good. Easy searching, easy payment. Understood items.
It was easy to find. It appears to be delivered quickly. I appreciate it.
First time on in a long time. Needed to go slowly to make sure I entered everything correctly
Jesus get a grip. It's not that big a deal. You don't need to be paying these people for this kind of follow up really.
Don't remember seeing it and I need to get more characters in
Prices are great and find books unavailable elsewhere. Thanks!
Great experience. Found the Book I had not been able to find anywhere else.
Easy to reset my password. Found all the books I was looking for.
I most often find what I'm looking for. Good selection. I might need to unload books someday. Please send info about library purchasing. Thanks.
Fast and easy to order. Instructions were clear and site worked without any problems -- as opposed to some!
Alibris is amazing - supporting independent booksellers and providing readers with numerous options.
Love the new consolidate and save feature.
Products were affordable and delivered in a timely manner. One used book did contain somewhat more underlining than I had hoped from the description, but since I paid so little, I can't complain. Overall I was pleased.
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.
