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 have been waiting to read the sequel to "Sybil Sue Blue" by Rosel George Brown for like 50 years, after finally discovering that there was another SSB book. So excited!
Very easy to order books. Not super pleased with the $4.99 shipping but easier than going to multiple bookstores to find a book.
Very good, book came almost brand new! Very helpful and came very fast
Very quick and easy! Took literally 2 minutes and I was able to ship it to family for them to read as well. Signing up was also very easy.
Shipping prices could be better, as in combined shipping prices.
Good shopping experience so far. Usually goes well with Alibris!
Would type in book title and kept getting author. Tried author and it went in another direction Finally got to my selection.
Love shopping with you. Would be interested on how you can get coupons.
Great network, great prices, easy to use, selection near infinite
Easy to use website that contains many or all the books that are most difficult to find elsewhere
Always love Alibris website for all my book purchases.
Alibris is doing a fine job, these annoying surveys are a waste of my time. Hence 4 stars instead of 5.
Love the books! Great service. I'd use them again when ordering books.
Alibris is like walking digitally into a fine used bookstore with a broad deep selection that is well organized.
Fast and easy, great prices. I audit classes at CU Boulder and it is a great source for inexpensive books.
Quick and easy to order with items clearly marked - love how prices are low to high with vendors ranks as well.
Was easy to find my item and easy to check out
The customer service is very attentive. They always look for a way to solve any situation. Shipping and handling is of top quality. I am very pleased and satisfied with the purchases at Alibris.
I've been buying books from Alibris for years. I've never had a problem.
Been looking for this book forever. Thanks for quickly shipping it!
Alibris always has what i am looking for and at great prices!
Great to find a more obscure book in such good condition at a very good price.
I found my book, a more obscure title, and put in my order before the customer left the store.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
