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.

Like the optimized cart, wish there was a slightly bigger shipping discount for buying from the same seller.
I almost always find rare books that I am looking for here. Ordering is quick, easy and simple.
Consolidation alert worked well for me -- thank you!
Every book I was looking for was available here on aLibris!
Just one little request. Please make it easier to change the default address I sent one book to a friend in another country and ever since, that address comes up by default.
So pleased to have found aLibris! What a great alternative to that other A-word.
Love the free shipping option. Alibris usually has what I'm looking for in stock
Easy to find good deals in stock with free shipping
I signed in to receive a $5 discount, but I did not receive it..
Thank You All for such a wonderful experience. Happy Holidays to you all.Please send a special thank you to the wed site that was so hrlpful to me in making this purchase a success.
I am grateful for holiday sales. I had no idea there were so many options for saving money on the books I want. I love the bundling to save on shipping!
Prices are always better than the competitions and the feature that checks for similar items from the same vendor (to help lower shipping fee) is brilliant.
I have used Alibris for many years and it just keeps getting better.
I was trying to see if the same book seller had the two books I wanted to buy so I could save on shipping. I needed to open two windows, one for each book, then compare the two lists to find common sellers. I would like a better way to cross reference titles and sellers.
Easy to find everything. Two items were less expensive, two were more expensive. So only purchased two.
Good, inexpensive. I won't be able to ever use the $5 coupon because I wouldn't ever spend $50.
Alibris is and always has been easy to use and a fun site to browse.
Alibris is easy to navigate and rich in content.
Alibris has a huge selection and is easy and efficient to use.
Frustrating! It was hard to find the books I was looking for, I wasn't able to figure out how to put in the cyber Monday code, so I didn't get the deduction, the shipping is too expensive! Why wasn't I able to get the higher discount? I am spending over $100, mostly in shipping.
A brief message flashed by about an "order optimizer" but having passed it by, it wasn't obvious how to get back to it/find out what it was.
Good experience although I didn't see a claimed "quality" of the particular copy of the book that I was buying; perhaps I missed it?
Very user friendly but wishing you had an option for gift sending as in a "note" attached for the recipient.
Fast, excellent variety of books & great service with excellent opportunities.
A delightful random discovery & as I love books, I was thrilled to locate even vintage Penguin in your collection.
The books conditions are great, if it says "good" you can trust the book is great.
The price range is very impressive for an average reader of caliber. Thanks.
I could find almost all books that I was looking for at a very reasonable prices with free shipping. Thank you Alibris.
I Alibris! I find movies I cannot find anywhere else.
Aside from a formatting issue with how the search results appeared on my phone, the transaction was quick and easy.
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 info@alibris.com 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 info@ailbris.com 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 info@alibris.com 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.
