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.

Very quick and easy and very good price. Always looking for good source for out of print books
Everything was good except that a previous owner had marked up the text pretty extensively. I don't recall how the description of the book's condition was worded, but I don't recall any reference to the marking up. In several internet-initiated purchase experiences this is the first time I have been disappointed.
I have had consistently excellent service when I've bought books through Alibris.
The book came quickly and it was new, in perfect condition, as advertised.
It's pretty crazy to offer discounts and not provide a place to submit the discount code. Shady
Ordering easy with many books to choose from. This is my go to location for a great selection and speedy delivery.
Positive experience. Found
Booke I wanted in good condition and it arrived in a reasonable amount of time.
The shopping and check experiences went smoothly. I like that they accept PayPal.
Love this site. Always find what I'm looking for. I always tell people about it.
Good price, excellent shape, fast shipping. I can't think of more to say.
I have never been disappointed with the service I have received!
Hope I receive what I think I am receiving. A Holman Christian Standard Bible and not a Christian Standard Bible.
The manga I had been looking everywhere for came from this site, a solid website for looking for old books in a sea of scam sites that advertise the same thing.
Did not get shipping tracking info, and took a little longer than I expected. Cost of shipping was a little more than I expected. Aside from that no issues.
I was looking for used books and these were great prices. These were very easy to find as well.
Amazing price! Thank you! I can't believe I found this book so cheap!
Fifty words are far too many to insert in to this box when I have not even received the item that I ordered yet. I am hopeful that this purchase will meet my expectations since the price was great and a review I had read of the book was helpful
I purchased a book for a fantastic price. It took a little bit of time to arrive, but it was worth it.
There is not much special to describe about this experience.
Spent so much on shipping. It was late and literally came from down the street... So disappointed!
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.
