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.

Why do we get charged 4.99 for EACH book if we are ordering from the same seller?
Love Used Bookstores, where you can decide how much you want to pay for each book. Thanks much for keeping options available.
It was fine. A bit more expensive than I had wanted but it arrived nicely.
My first goto for books and movies. It takes a lot of hassle out of ordering sources.
I didn't get to use my $10 coupon. That's all I have to say. Goodbye for now.
Easy website, quick delivery, great alternative to the big conglomerates!
I was giving up hope of finding 29th volume of Negima for normal price.
After searching up and down internet for almost a year I found this offer. Seller had a lot of positive reviews and price was better then I saw in a while and so I took a chance.
Really glad I did:3
Not even a month for international delivery and manga was in almost mint condition after it's journey.
I found what I needed quickly and even used the same vendor for 2 of the 3 things I purchased
Alibris is my go-to for books because the books are usually as advertised and well-packaged for shipping.
The billing process is messed up. When I checked that my billing address is the same as the shipping address, it moved to a friend 's shipping address for a previous order.
Great service accurate listings fair pricing good selection on hard to find books.
Is it possible to order from only one source to limit the mailing cost?
Is it possible to buy from one provider to lower mailing costs?
Alibris keeps the previous shipping address as default. This "feature" has resulted in several unintential misdirected packages.
When the book came I was expecting a manual on airbrushing for beginners but got an adult nature coloring book with a ridiculous 27 page history of airbrushing at the end of the book.,
I had a very easy time ordering this item. The process was not hard at a
se
Found what I was looking for. I love the fast checkout. Always check for older publications here.
Very easy to shop the site and compare which store had the best deal.
Great price, smooth checckout, no glitches! I want something that's not a monster corp on the first page of my search...
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.
