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 bought a book from here about a couple of weeks ago. The delivery time was about average and decent but when I got the book it had most of the answers filled in. Unfortunately the book wasn't worth nearly $100.
The ordering process was extremely smooth, clear, and user friendly!
I love alibris, the site is easy to navigate & it's always clear & easy to understand.
This is my favorite site for purchasing books & i recommend it to anyone that is looking for a book they can't find in town.
I like the choices available in the selections I look for. However, i don't like the shipping costs which sometimes is way more than the total costs of the books.
Found what i was looking for and more. I highly recommwnd this site for hard to find books.
I like the multitude of search options. It certainly helps zero in on exactly what I'm seeking.
Everything about the order went smoothly and easily and accurately, from the listed book condition to the shipment notifications and the book itself. Thanks, Enigmatic Reader bookseller!
Good. However, descriptions are starting to suffer, and Shipping is getting very expensive!
Descriptions have declined in quality over the years (as shipping has increased)
It was easy to change the address error I made. It was also uncomplicated overall.
Had to type in my state. Typed full name in and gave me error to only use 2 letters. Checkout system should be able to figure that out from my input
I love Alibris. I'm a student and plan to use them for all of my textbook needs.
The books I wanted were all available at highly reasonable prices, arrived quickly, and were all in like new condition.
Navigating the website was easy. I just placed the order, so I don't know how long delivery will take;
Quick & Easy to find books then place the order. Transaction went smoothly.
The seller was very kind, who apologized for the small flaw on the item, but that is expected on secondhand products.
Just the book I was looking for--found immediately at a great price to boot.
I DO NOT like that you snuck in your 'news letter' to trash up my inbox with. You should leave that check box blank or CHANGE your format so that I MUST first decide to check or unchek before proceeding- especially after I ALREADY checked DO NOT recieve 'coupons'- which is the same thing. That's some straight up telemarketer, spam annoyance tactic.
Good golf books are always exciting and tonight is no exception. Thank you
These obscure books were very easily found and purchased. They have local interest to me.
Excellent transaction. Seller's description is spot on. You are given all the details you need to make your purchase
Love Alibris because you have books I want to share with others that I have read in the past and your website is so easy to use.
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.
