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'm pretty satisfied about the whole experience. It was eady to buy online, plus I got it on time, and mist of all, the books were all that I expected For
Thanks!
In all ways good! I've been using Alibris for years and have never had an unsatisfactory experience with the books or their service. Alibris has always followed up with a good solution to the very few problems I've had over the years.
I didn't even know this company existed until I needed a book that Amazon was looking to sell me for triple the price. I will now support this business when it comes to books over any other company out there.
The variety & number of books available on any subject I investigate is impressive. The books are always in the condition I choose.
I have had good experience with Alibris. On the rare exception when a book was unsatisfactory or lost in delivery, the problem was resolved to my satisfaction.
As a self taught historical sewist, I find this book fascinating! Always on the hunt for more reference works- this book was delivered promptly, in great shape and at a decent price! Thanks!
Delighted to find the title long unavailable at bookstores but a family favorite! Gently used, but in tact in all its glory. Fast delivery too!
Overall, the shipping was very quick and I really like the services. The book came and it was a good quality, just as I expected. Thank you very much for the fast delivery!
Very pleased to see the shipping drop at the end because of multiple items with sellers. Very easy to find what I was looking for!
Although I was a bit concerned about the border and customs (having had trouble before with other orders coming from the US to Canada) there were no issues or delays. Book arrived in good time and as described - new condition.
The book arrived in excellent condition and the price was unmatched. I'm hella satisfied with my purchase and will definitely recommend Alibris to my peers. Thank you so much!?
The book arrived a week later than was told, and I had to pay 15 dollars for the delivery fee since every available books were from USA, but it was still a good price and the book arrived in satisfactory condition.

I've only ordered good/fair condition books and depending on the seller, some of them are more than fair and others are not fair at all. But at the end of the day, you get what you pay for and I still enjoy the books I've ordered regardless of quality.
I found the book quickly on your website, had the same efficiency in placing the order, and received it as described, and right on time.
Juggling finds at the circuit library for old paperback novels, receiving the novels via Albris was delightful.
Quick and easy. However, I was not able to tell whether the book was in fact a copy of the original version published in 1931 or a later reprint, but given the price, I bought it regardless.
I didn't remember that the shipping price went up, I purchased 2 books from the same seller and wish they would combine the shipping or discount it somehow.
Todo bien, muy positivo.
Posiblemente haga varias compras por esta vĂa.
Even though I had not shopped in a while, my account was open and with new credit card info and address change - my oder was processed!
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 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.
