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 found exactly what I was look for quickly and at the price right. The website was easy to navigate and to place an order.
I always check Alibris first when I am looking for a specific book, because I really value supporting independent book sellers.
East to find what I need, quick checkout. Although the copies are located in different locations, everything is consolidated into one shopping cart.
I had albris track down a book I wanted and it didn't take too long for them to find it for me. I really like this website. I have found some great finds on here!
I'm glad I found this web site because I was able to find what I wanted and everything went smoothly. Thanks.
Was only able to put in the phone number for the rehab center. I wanted to put in my phone number also but wasn't unable to do so.
Alibis is my go-to when I need a book that is older, out-of-print or just hard to find. They never let me down!
Slight glitch in the system but was able to come back to my shopping cart and pay as usual
Prices are great and books were in near perfect condition. Fast delivery. Very pleased.
Quick and easy, and a good price! Am always pleased with alibris...
I received the books I ordered they were just what I needed.
You almost always have just what I needed. I belong to a book club and need at least a book a month. Thanks
ALibris is the best. (Don't make people add extra words -- I've said what I want to say.)
Cheaper than other sites for the 2 used books I was looking for.
Nice price... send me your web page, so I can see what other gems you may have at such a great price!
I have always had a great shopping experience with Alibris and appreciate the ease of using the website
Easy
Thankful to buy formerly loved books at a nice savings
💫💫💫
I did have to dig to see if your company was in the US. If you were in canada I'd be wondering about tariffs. And Brazil. Etc. New concerns.
Fairly easy to find the book i wanted but would like to be able to see info on seller reviews more easily
I despise Amazon and appreciate having an alternative in Alibris. Prices are usually better here too
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.
