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.

Lots of book choices, good detail about each option.
It was good and easy for most part. However it can be difficult looking for similar interests with decent shipping prices.
This site is very resourceful and easy access to any book imagined. Thank you.
Quick, efficient and Alibris had the book I'm looking for.
The initial email book disappeared resulting in you having to cancel the order. Back at it again for another copy.
Very easy to use, covers many options, usually accurate. Highly recommend the site!
Best price, easy to find title I wanted and simple checkout procedure.
Too hard to remove an item. I accidently ordered 2 of the same item. Almost canceled the order when I couldn't figure out to delete one.
Best price! Recycling makes sense for me and the planet!
It took too long (over 30 minutes) to make a purchase with the billing address and shipping adress being different. You asked for the shipping address in the begining of the ordering then the payment information, and it was rejected because the shipping address did not match the cards address.
The mystery of not knowing the final charge is not a good feeling.
Website easy to navigate as well as great resources and prices for subject I'm researching.
No hang ups with having to setup an account when it's only a 1 time purchase.
Easy to use the website. The prices on used books are very good. The books come to my home. All good.
NO delays and responsive. Excellent spectrum offerings. Keep it up!
The book I was searching for was easy to find with relevant information clearly described. The purchase procedure was straightforward.
Found exactly what I wanted on the first search, and at a very reasonable price. I appreciate the multiple search fields.
Good, I like having options, choosing the book cover on novels is a thing I didn't know I needed until I found Alibris.
I enjoyed the Alibris website. It was easy to search, select and add to cart and/or wish list.
I love this site. Very easy to find books I'm looking for and efficient checkout.
I love Alibris. The descriptions of the books are careful and accurate, the search feature works very well, and checkout is a breeze. Thank you so much!
I love this site! The Search engine is robust and easy to use, the book condition descriptions are useful, and the checkout experience is fast and smooth.
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 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.
