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 ordered this book for a friend, very good condition.
Also my name is Audrey not Jamie.
The website was very easy to use. Would recommend to all looking for books
Competitive prices, huge selection fast and easy browsing
Quick, easy, clear directions and reasonable prices. Good options for payment.
This was an easy transaction--found my book quickly and easily.
Excellent service! Easy to use page, loaded with options and accurate information, transparent purchasing power, and reliable sellers. Thank you Alibris!
Love this site! So easy to use and quick, trustworthy descriptions and excellent used book prices, and %^& Bezosamazon.
I live far away so the shipping time was longer than I expected. One of my orders got cancelled. Overall good price and not a so bad experience.
Quick, easy to find what I am looking for and place the order.
Not perfect but not bad. I like that I can sort books by free shipping as well as the usual categories.
Very confusing at check out, paypal was only going to charge $2 something for the book alone, no shipping included, then you say the full amount, and I do not know if I approved that or not, very messy process. I have no idea where you are shipping to as there was no place to add an address to, wanted it to go to: Cindy Sengstock 2226 Manoa Rd, Toledo, Ohio ******* but never saw the option to send it to her. Would appreciate an email letting me know where it is going, or I may delete you from my favorite places to do business with.
My books were in good condition and the price was fair. Shipping took a little longer than expected for one item
Nothing but perfection…was looking for this particular cd for awhile n finally came across it n took a chance
My email said that I had a $20 coupon expiring today but there appeared to be no way to redeem it!
Love the fact I could still get into my account after a long period without redoing my password etc. Do wish shipping charges were less.
Diversity of books, I love it. I also like that there are so many options per read to choose from.
Always a good selection and quick/easy search and find process.
I saw this book on CBS Sunday Morning. I wanted to read it. Alibris had it at a good price and in great condition!
Very good, but mailing prices are higher than other book stores. Do you ever have media mail?
Shopping experience was easy, no problems. I will shop here again.
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.
