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 good and affordable prices on various items, easy access.
Delightful and easy! A nice alternative to the other online shopping options.
Found the book I wanted for a reasonable price. There appears to be a wide variety of titles and prices for books
Good price, good service nothing more to say really except Yeats has always interested me.
Happy that they were up front about the shipping cost.
The purchase of experience is quite delicate and effective.

Good study in physic and science also space technology
Help increase knowledge bring proper information to a subject
Good it was not complicated. Very self explanatory. The price is what got my initial attention. I hope once I receive the book I am just as satisfied!
I'd give it a 5 if shipping wasn't so expensive. $5 for it when the book itself was only $4. Last time it took a long time for the book to be sent. Not this same seller, but their mailing options are extremely slow!
I've enjoyed the low costs here. Thank you for this! I wish I could find a used book store that has used bibles. I have been looking for the hebrew new testiment to see if its different than kjv
We received our book order in a timely fashion. Book was in good condition.
The shopping experience was fast and easy. No complications occurred and I was very pleased with the ease of the process.
Thank you.
Great over all service provided. Will utilize again in very near future.
It was not clear that even though all 3 books came from same seller that offered a shipping discount for multiple items what the discount was
Alibris is the best way to get books, period. Lower prices than elsewhere and great sellers.
I have placed roughly 50-orders with Alibris and have been delighted with each-and-every purchase.
I tried to order this and another book yesterday, but when I got to the choice of paying by PayPal or a credit card and I chose credit card the screen would not let me proceed to give my credit card information. Now the other book is lost on the screen, perhaps because the seller has probably taking it off, thinking that it is now sold--unless it were put back and another has quickly bought it because it was such a low price.
I checked into my account with the email address and password I had been using yesterday, reviewed that order and placed two more items in my cart. I then placed that order on code and checked my email and returned to Alibris and my two items were still in my cart. I then went to checkout and them was required to check in again using the same password which was then rejected. I then had to reenter, form a new password which was required to be longer than the one I had used yesterday. Then made a new password, returned to my account and my cart was now empty, and had to place the order again. All of that wasted my time. Meanwhile, I never received my $5.00 coupon as promised yesterday as I signed up as a new customer.
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.
