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.

The site is well made, selection and prices are outstanding.
This was very quick and easy. It didn't take long to check out and the price of the book was nice compared to competitors.
Great selection of texts and usually find what I am looking for.
Process from beginning to end was very smooth and simple.
Overseas Postage is FAR TOO MUCH - especially when ordering several books at $27 each! - - - Means I order 1 book instead of 6 or 10!
Shopping on Alibris was easy to navigate and provided some great prices. I would use it again.
6 Books under $60 shipped to my door! Books that were out of stock on the other 2 Used Booksellers online. Woot woot! I was dun in 5 mins.
I found books I thought I gave up on finding... moreover for unbeatable prices.
Great place for book lovers
Glad to find the books I need - great price - unfortunately shipping costs more than the books.
Have only looked for one book but found it instantly.
Shipping charges are not included in price for each book, nor does your required checkbox affirm that my information will only be used for customer service. This needs to be more transparent, like Amazon. Thank you
I found the 2 books I was looking for & all has gone well.
No problems with alibris book selection and receiving books.
Easy to find out of print books, prices excellent, website easy to navigate.
When I went to see what was in my cart ther was not an easy way to go back to browsing the search results- instead I had to redo the search. The same was true when I wanted to change the edition in my search- I had to start all over again (a completely new search) which I found a bit frustrating. However, I did like the Savings feature in the Cart that looked for equivalent texts of lower price or shipping options.
Good selection of used books. Website very easy to use.
Easy to find what I was looking for. Easy to order. Thank you!
Website is a little hard to navigate with everything being very similar text sizes/formats. Overall good experience.
Book and book options easily found and understood. Very simple process.
Quick, efficient, found exactly what i was looking for.
I do not understand why i could not give the quantity i wanted for the book Apocalypse Never. Do i order twice?
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.
