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.

Ordered a book that is no longer in production- got it quickly
I am able to purchase most engineering textbooks at a very reasonable price.
I love finding the text books I need for work at a reasonable price but I do not like the cost of shipping.
Got a textbook that I wanted to keep, front cover was loosely attached and it was full of tape-flag page markers, but the price made it worthwhile.
The book I wanted was to be had at a competitive price. I purchased it easily, using PayPal wallet. Thank you.
Rare book at a fair price, ordered and delivered in a reasonable time, in perfect condition, thank you.
I ordered the novel "The Cinderella Theorem" from Alibris for a college book study in one of my literature classes. I received a completely different cover than the book I ordered online. However, the book was in good condition.
I love Alibris. The site is very simple to navigate. And there are so many options of incredible reads!
Didn't have some of the books that I was looking for. I don't like the blackmail at the end requiring me to submit to followup. It is unnecessary.
La pagina es muy amena y facilita la elección entre los diferentes títulos.
Fast, easy. Books like new. Will continue to use. Don't like all the surveys
Super fast and easy I'm a believer Keep up the good work.

Easy, fast, convenient, support small booksellers
I especially liked the fact that I didn't have to sign up for an account.
Alibris was the only bookseller I saw that offered the book I was looking for at a reasonable price. Smooth transaction.
THANK YOU! This has been a lifesaver. I am a single mom, however these materials are needed and yall were able to bless me by saving so much money.
Good price for a book I want to read - and even with shipping, it was a better price than others
It was fine. Found the book I wanted and DONE. I just didn't like that I wanted another book and it too was going to cost $4.99 shipping. Why couldn't you just combine my order?!
I have enjoyed purchasing books at Alibris over the years, thanks
Easy to use. No surprises. Straightforward. Even resetting my password was simple.
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.
