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.

Thank you for being so reasonably priced with book. Looking to become a teacher and having collections like this in my possession will help make me a well rounded student and future teacher.
Website would not process purchase because I typed in Texas and not Tx.
Web site is clear and important that you state where the book is coming from. Thank you
Quick, easy, humorous(I am paying more for shipping that the book.) confident
Great prices. Fast checkout. Appreciate the suggestions on which copy to buy.
The system should be able to save your password instead of having to re-enter it each time.
As I was in the process of checking out books were being removed from my cart. This made me mad. My quantity of 3 books should have been mine when 5 where available when I chose 3. Just because I wasn't fully checked out doesn't mean someone should have been able to pull one from my cart.
I'd like to be able to easily buy books from one seller in order to save postage and oil.
I have shopped with Alibris many times and always had a great experience.
Found my item quickly in good condition.
Love the selection of older books but the shipping cost could be better. Now we'll see how long it takes the books to arrive!
So far I am happy with prices and ordering, now we will see if and when it arrives!
Easy to find the book I was searching for - easy checkout.
Quite a nice site; no fuss, no muss. I was able to find what I wanted easily. I liked that you stated the shipping upfront. And I appreciate that you take PayPal for payment. Thank you.
I was hoping I could apply a discount coupon, but the price of my order precluded that.
Too bad.
So many good ones to pick from and prices are very good.
Great as always. Only improvement I would like to see is to save my billing information.
I have been comparing prices with other discount book companies and your company is reasonable.
I ordered 3 books, was ready to checkout, then my cart empties and when I reordered the same books the price went up. Seems like this is a "not so good" business practice so instead of ordering all three books from you I only ordering one and the other two I ordered from Amazon. They DON'T change prices.
So complicated (compared to Biblio, for example). Browsing is more work than fun.
I had my cart full but when I had issues with my password, it ended up emptying. Another thing was that the ones with free shipping were a little hard to understand because I read it as the whole site had free shipping.
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.
