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'm trying to collect them all at a fair and cheaper price and I was happy to find Sierra for $2.61.
I find that I always receive my orders earlier than expected!
Thanks!
I found what I wanted quickly, at extremely reasonable prices, and checked out easily.
Great selection; quick and easy checkout
Fast and Secure and easy to work the website. Will use again.
Good prices and variety. Reliable place to buy used and new books
I received my order quickly, and the price was $32 under retail price.
All items received promptly in appropriate packaging and expected condition.
The disk appeared to be fine, but has a scratch on the very first track that I have been unable to remove with cleaning. Case was in great shape, not cracked.
I look forward to making some dolls from it. I hate doing this after buying a product
This is a wonderful book. It shows the wonderful jazz clubs in the 1940s -1957 in Portland, Oregon. Thank You for a job well done.
I've been a customer of Alibris for many years. I have my favorite sellers and I can always find what I'm looking for. Communication is always good and shipping is, too. The affordability is why I come here.
Great hard to find titles, fast shipping, and great pricing for hard to find books.
I was shown an option for a shopping cart that would save me $7. I asked to check out with the less expensive shoping cart and alibris would not let me. I tried multiple times.
Many sources provide more options regarding price and condition
Always easy to find what you want on Alibris. Delivery times are often slow is the only drawback.
Quick and easy. Thank you! Many good choices. Clearly presented
I ordered three books from two vendors. One shipped quicker than the other but both orders arrived within the time period that was quoted. Books were in excellent condition.
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.
