We love browsing books, drinking coffee, and talking with people who love good stories.
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 quick and easy…plus good price on Trump's new book.
Easy to find lots of copies of the books I want. Would love to see better summaries/ratings and easier-to-find publication dates.
The site search is highly functional. Would really like to have the year of the books publication easily visible near the title so I don't have to flip back and forth to Amazon for that information. That information is really important to identifying history books that meet our needs.
Easy to search and compare prices. Wish I could more easily get book reviews.
Audiobook format should be added as a filter in the main search. Charging over $4 shipping per book is obscene - especially when it's not related to weight and has no upper limit.
Bought a few books from you all. Always satisfied with the product
VERY frustrating purchasing experience. I spent half the day loading up a cart, then went to checkout and decided to register an account here–and all the items in my cart disappeared! So I ended up purchasing only 2 books instead of 9–then when I placed the order, was charged sales tax in Oregon.
Do you seriously want to do business with people?
How do I find out how much shipping costs and how much I can spend before the shipping price jumps? I would have ordered more books, but didn't know this info. Or where to find it.
Great experience. Found what I was looking for. Very good price for product. Easy checkout.
Easy browsing, fast checkout. I'll let you know if shipping is less perfect than shopping.
Easy to order. Condition stated as well as delivery date. Email confirming order also mentioned.
I love alibris because it allows me to target specific books and search used bookstores all over America to find the book I want. While I love browsing in a good used bookstore alibris is also a great way to find the books I'm looking for.
I love finding old books of my youth at Alibris.
Easy to find the books I was looking for. Easy checkout.
Love your site! You seem to have everything I'm looking for
When I click the "change shipping address" button, I get a list of addresses, and then when I click "select," nothing happens. I finally had to use "add a new address," even though the address was already listed, in order to send a book where I wanted it to go.
I am so familiar with this site having used it for years and years.
I have used this site many times over. I am always thrilled with their selection
I Love shopping alibris. I love that I can chose my seller. I love that it is NOT amazon
For some reason the item I ordered wasn't actually available. I was glad to get the emil notice and found another just like it, so I ordered it. I guess I'm a bit disappointed but at least I'm not a student needing it for a class as of yesterday. This is a weird one off occasion I assume. Never had a bit of a problem before now.
The experience was really fast and easy and hoping it's also safe!
I love Alibris. I can find used books that I can't find in stores.
Alibris always has books that are hard to find.
I love Alibris! I can find so many books that are hard to find!
I love the variety and exclusiveness of the movies on here!
Wish there were title pictures for all anime dvds, but was good either way. Thank you.
Great selection! Easy checkout! Everyone should check this site out!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.

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.
