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 was able to find what I was shopping for with Alibris after several sites were out of stock.
The only thing I could wish for is that specific info on a used book is offered, not a general overview as with this purchase. I'm taking a chance that the charts are readable.
I love that I can get the
Rest of the saxon tales at fair prices
I love buying my books from you.
They always are better than good condition
Love the low prices and access to Biblical Studies.
Website is easy to use and offers many book sources
Last year, I had my credit card number stolen on-line 7 times in 9 months. So, I am no longer opening accounts. I just buy as a guest, and if I can not, I go elsewhere. Thanks for being available.
If ordering several books, would like to order from 1 supplier at reduced shipping rate. The shipping, for me, is always higher than the books. Bill
Love Alibris. Great reliable service and price options.
I have shopped with several times with never a problem. I will continue my shopping with your company.
Would appreciate the old feature for possibly merging into fewer sellers
I found the book I wanted on the first try; the other suggestions were on target so I purchased an additional book.
A beautifully designed, clear, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing website on which it is always a pleasure to shop for books. I greatly prefer Alibris' website to Amazon's. Amazon deliberately makes the purchase of used books difficult, and navigating its advertisement- and visual-gimmick-laden website is a chore.
An excellent website design makes book shopping a pleasure. Alibris' clear, beautiful website, thoughtfully designed for book lovers, contrasts very favorably with the busy, cluttered, ad-larded site of the mega-monopoly.
You've always had what I've needed. Have recommended your site to an endless number of friends and acquaintances
Have used your site for years with great results. Recommended it to family and friends!
Always my "Go To" source for books that are hard to find. You've rarely disappointed me
Found the books I was looking for - but had to keep several tabs open so the cart would stop resetting to zero
It was easy, quick and got the books I wanted. Thanks.
I appreciate you usually have what I am looking for. Thank you
Ordering was easy. A book I really wanted was available for not so much.
I am glad Alibris allowed me to buy from a place located in Maryland. Maryland law has explicit protections for women's access to abortion without harsh restrictions.
I do not think I would have bought from any location in Pennsylvania, your alternative state. It's got a governor supportive of abortion rights, but it's difficult to access abortions for many women - because Pennsylvania has got numerous medically unnecessary restrictions. So... since I'm inclined to buy from Alibris, I was pretty lucky in this case that you sell my book from a state that's not hostile to women.

Easy to search, side selection, good description so I know what I will be getting.
This website has always been my preferred site for used books and music. Great variety and better prices.
It was quick and easy. Though it was local for my area- i like the fact i shopped local somewhere.
Consistently does not accept my password. I have to start as a guest under a false email and re enter all my info. Email does not exist.
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. 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.
