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.

You gave me a code to apply a $5 discount but there was no location to enter the code during the payment process.
I enjoy looking at the variety of purchase options. Always a good experience.
Daughter loved these books. They came at a decent price and were in excellent condition.
I was able to find two books which were well-priced. Thank you!
The order went as it should: fair price, well packaged and delivered ahead of estimate.
Easy, shop often when I have a need, always satisfied in the past
Great prices, great books. I gave 4, not 5 stars this time because I didn't realize that the book would be a soft squishy 'hardcover' which is quite bulky---but it's fine. The book is in good condition.
It was a quick and painless experience. I have been using Alibris for years!
Alibris is my go-to for used books. They have the current titles AND out-of-print books that are harder to find.I would recommend them as a first-rate book reseller.
Alibis has been my go-to source for used & hard-to-find books for over a decade. I have never been disappointed.
My only request is to please make it easier to search/sort by individual sellers, which would make it easier to buy several books at once from a single store.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Love you guys! My only complaint is that I can't search by seller. It would really help if I could search a seller for other books I want, cutting down on shipping costs (& carbon footprint!). I live somewhere without bookstores, so you are my Go-To and I am so grateful.
Shopping was easy, selection was good, book was described Well, nice and clean, Nice condition, quick shipping A+. I would say this experience arrival going into an actual bookstore, I would not hesitate to do business with this source again online.
Fast and easy to order. A large number of copies and prices to choose from.
Ordering was easy; all was delivered within the expected timeframe
I always shop my dvds from alibris
Great quality and arrives on time
Overall, my experience with Alibris has been good. The only time I get annoyed is when I am told by the bookseller that they no longer have the book, which leads me to think that they should have taken said book off their list! And this has happened to me a number of times.
I love used books! Thanks for providing a means to sell and buy them!<3
Great and easy. Being forced into doing one of these reviews is the worst part.
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.
