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.

Lots of hard to find, out of print titles at reasonable prices
Really needed a book for book club that would have taken quite a while to get from the library. Glad it was available and in good condition.
It was easy to find the book that I needed and the quality of the book. When it arrived on time I was very satisfied in the purchase I made.
Really thought I would not have much luck finding what I wanted. But after looking a little while I was brought back to when cd's were new and just came out. One look here and I found everything and more,and the prices were very affordable. I would suggest to anyone who wants a hard to find most of the time cd of any kind, to look here.Thanks
Very easy to find what you're looking for and the prices are very low. Thanks
Refund issued quickly and easy to contact seller. Prices are competitive and I can find what I need.
Great site, easy to search and find many quality books at very reasonable prices!
Good selection, good prices. It was real easy until this survey thing demanded I write a 50 letter review.
First time to website. Difficult shopping. Had to re-start 3 times. Perhaps I could have saved on the shipping if I had noticed they were from different sellers? Appears to have amazing variety. Enjoyed the company start up story.
Good fast service
Enjoyable reading
Will share with a 🧡 friend

Went very smoothly and no problems checking out. (This needs to be allowed to be less than 50 characters)
I like having access to multiple independent sellers in one place.
A good way to find discounted books. Though I do wish there was an easier way to match prices between sellers.
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.
