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.

Super easy, organized and good shipping options look on other sites for the same item and they were nearly twice as much and shipping was as much as the items
I placed the order, the estimated delivery date was for November I ordered in April but item arrived in good condition packed well. I rated it okay because of the bad delivery date and the time it took to respond and follow up.
I was searching for DVDs of past seasons of "Call the Midwife" for a friend and found what I was looking for on the Alibris site at a rock bottom price. My DVD arrived timely and in great condition. I'll be looking for more seasons in the future!
I found exactly what I was looking for at a rock bottom price!
I absolutely love Alibris! I've been buying books for at least 10 years and haven't been disappointed! Great service, thank you!
I checked other sites and Alibris had the best prices and the book I needed was in great condition even though it was a used copy. I will definitely buy from Alibris again
I ordered a book on Latin American colonial history as a Christmas gift for a family member. The price was great and very affordable, comparable to that of thriftbooks. It came on time as per the delivery tracking and the book came in good condition - i bought it used. I wiped the front and back covers because there was this sticky residue all over, but otherwise great condition! Would buy from here again.
More often than not I'll find the books I'm looking for at a cheaper price than mainstream stores. It's fairly easy to navigate the website and packages always arrive. I've had some delays but never more than a say or two and all of the products are in great condition.
This website is wonderful for finding pretty much any book you want and if you live in a rural area it's even better because you don't have try and drive hours away to book stores and find what you want. The quality is always good and the prices are fair for what your getting used or new.
I am a regular customer of Alibris. Alibris offers great deals and prompt, reliable shipping. Skip the huge corporate juggernaut Amazon, and instead patronize a smaller company that offers excellent and reliable service, plus qualify used items---better for the planet and your wallet!

Alibris has been one of my top choices for years. This time was no exception.Even with shipping charges it was less expensive and better quality than some other sources I looked at.
I found the book through Alibris at about $2 less at a Maryland bookstore, but you wouldn't let me sign in to order the book. You made me "reset" my password. I did that, but then couldn't see the book at the Maryland bookstore, so I had to order it at about $2 more at a Texas bookstore. Although I despise Texas Republican politics, I'm not worried about the money; however, I think theAlibris process is suspect. I want the book, though, so I ordered it. However, I still think the Alibris process is slimy.
Was needing a better & recommended Study Bible. They were all pretty expensive other sites I looked at. I've shopped Alibris before & find they have great prices! So happy w/the book's condition & at an Amazing price! Thank You
First time customer. Book from Alibris exactly in condition described. Even with delivery fees, it is more cost friendly than Amazon, Abe, or Thriftbooks.
Yay! I found the children's book I was looking for in a matter of seconds, and made my purchase. I'm always pleasantly surprised by the ease of locating and acquiring an old favorite for my home library. Thanks Alibris!
I found everything I was looking for at great prices! These little hardcover knitting books will fit in my handwork bag for on the go creativity.
Very easy to look up what you're looking for whether it be books or music or movies DVD CDs vinyl prices are good deliveries are good just an overall satisfied customer here.
I remembered a book I used to use with children when teaching art and thought it would be fun for an adult class. So, I queried the title, found it immediately, my stored information came up, I ordered it and "TaDA!" A book is on its way.
You have done something to simplify the search/ordering process. Whatever it is (and even if it is my imagination!), thank you
Ok. If I have to fill this out with 50 characters, I'll do so, but I hate to be badgered into writing more than simple acknowledgement that we did business, and it was satisfactory.
After spending several hours researching and searching for the book topic I wanted, I finally found it at Alibris. I got the book at the best price.
I was very pleased with the nice selection of the book topic I wanted. I got the book I wanted at a great price and quality.
When I ordered it said 3-5 days I called to see what happened to the book I was told it will take 2 -3 weeks! Not cool! It also said it would have documents in it to show how to do them. My brother said it doesn't have them! I tried to use my coupon an it didn't work..
Very, very great-sounding value for the book I was seeking. Updating billing information (really just changing PO Box number) seemed more difficult than needed, but seems to be that way everywhere.
The difficult part of shopping with Alibris is to gather the books by shipper. There has to be an easier way to get all my books from the same seller.
It is necessary to ship from the same seller but quirky to find the books I want without a lot of back and forth
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
