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.

Quick and accurate. Familiar with Alibris as brick and mortar.
Found the book and quickly. Your service is always excellent.
Alibris had the best price on the version/conditions of the book that I was looking for (hardcover/fine or like new). The ordering process was easy as well.
I just now ordered a book. The process was simple, easy. The book was the least expensive compared to other sites. I hope this continues thru to the end when I receive my book.
Got what I paid for and books was as described. Good price for the book.
Overall very good experience. Thank you! I will use your service again.
Quick, secure, easy. Other buyers loved this seller. That means thumbs up for me.
Smooth transaction ….familiar with process of ordering
I just did.All work and no play make Jack a full boy. No, no more.
Items were fairly priced, delivered in a timely manner and received in good condition
Books are always shipped promptly and arrive in good shape.
It seems like everytime I need a book that is old and not being published, I check Alibris and they have it! It is always a good price! Any book that I need, I start with Alibris before looking anywhere else!
If you don't need the book right away, this is the best place to order!
It will help if the total price, including shipping, is shown earlier than it is on this site.
I went on the seller direct website to compare prices with what was on alibris through the same seller, alibris was cheaper. I find rare titles and always find a good price.
Have been using Alibris for years, at the suggestion of a book loving friend. Can't tell how many acquaintances i've turned on to your service. You and your sellers are always great.
Always a great experience, supporting small businesses.
Pretty much always excellent. Service, items received in the past.
Love Alibris! Amazing selection and the service is always outstanding
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.
