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.

Alibris makes shopping for great books SO easy! I love how it also helps small businesses. It's a win-win for everyone!
This website is a pleasure to navigate. It is a great way to find books relating to your interest or hobbies while supporting small businesses.
Found exactly the book I was looking for. Fast easy checkout. Thank you!
Great site. Easy to find things, easy to navigate and check out. I like the wishlist so I can save things I've found.
It was quick and easy to get through this process.
So far. So good. Since this is my 1st order I will wait to see if my order arrives and is as described.
Just what it should be uncomplicated and sufficient
Thank you for a very easy neat and clean way to purchase fine books at a great price! Blessings! Jack K.
The system seemed to imply that I would be charged one shipping fee for both books in my order, but when I went a step further in finalizing my purchase the extra charge showed. I got a great deal of the books but it's always nice to know the price you're expected to pay in the beginning.
My first time ordering. I am impressed with the options and great selection. ISBN numbers were most helpful. Will be back to shop for more textbooks again if shipping is on time.
It was confusing adding to add to the cart, so I added to the wishlist and edited my selections there.
So far so good. I'm a little bit nervous as to whether I will actually receive my book or not.
Alibris website is easy to navigate, and I always find the books I'm looking for, at great prices.
Easy check out. Would prefer advanced search. Would buy lore, but never tempted by coupons because too high total needed to use them
IMPORTANT AND URGENT!
There is some weird internet notice that comes up before I get to your website to the effect that alibris.com is not a safe website
IMPORTANT AND URGENT!
Was that message about this being a dangerous website a temporary cyber-attack from Amazon or an other competitor?
The selection was great... I especially loved the option to buy new or used... and to combine shipping
It should be easier to search by seller - i tried to add a few more items from the seller i chose to make the postage more worth it, but it took about 25 clicks to get there!
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.
