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.

Very fast, very efficient, east to local what I wanted at the price I wanted
Got done quickly and easily, have never used this before but it came with good 😊 recommendations
So quick, so easy to compare different editions, that I am able to also choose between paperback or hardback books
Alibris makes it possible to compare editions. The website is intuitive, straightforward and a joy to use.
I missed shopping on Alibris. It was easy to find something.
It was easy to browse. The only problem I had was when I tried to change billing address. Actually the address is the same, but I no longer use that phone number. But as long as it's Chestnut St. I'm fine with thata.
It was very easy to get the book and it's great that it has a deadline when renting it
Easy ordering and searching for new books for research purposes.
Easy to navigate that allows for a smooth shopping experience.
Thanks for having the book! Can't wait to get it. You had a great price!
VERY EASY TO ORDER - NOW LET US SEE HOW YOU DO WITH DELIVERY! IF YOU ARE AS GOOD AS THRIFTBOOKS I WILL USE YOU MORE OFTEN!
I tried earlier to make another order and it would not except my order. That was frustrating.
Quick & easy transaction and I was able to get the edition I needed for a class
I have made multiple orders from Alibris and haven't ever been disappointed! Prices are great and the books have always been in great condition. Shipping is usually really fast, so bonus!
Every time I search for a book, I can usually find it on Alibris and for a price that is almost unbeatable! Thank you!
This is the only website I use for books. I love the simplicity and the search options.
Great price for a book club selection I will pass on. Hoping the shipping is as efficient as a purchasing.
I am a returning customer and have been extremely satisfied and highly recommend.
Easy and the book was available.
Very satisfied would highly recommend
You had the book I wanted and for a great price. Thank you Alibris!
No I will not fill out a review, and you should not expect me to do so without compensation. Only reason I'm doing this is because I am sick of these emails asking me if I received my order. You know I received my order so shut up and leave me alone
I wasn't sure about this process but I was happily surprised by the quick shipping and great condition of the book.
Great so far! This website popped up with the best price and a quick delivery date. I'm looking forward to it.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
