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 have used this site to order books because a friend recommended it. I have not been disappointed. It is an easy and efficient way to order books without leaving the comfort of my home. In addition they have arrived quickly within several days of placing my order.
Ordering from Alibris is quick and easy.
I picked books, and then tried to log in. It lost my selections. I had to start again. Then I tried to order and it said something had changed of expired, but did not tell me what. I give up. I will not order with you again.
I had this book on my previous order and don't understand how it was dropped from the list.
Although I had to wait a while for one order the overall shopping was very well handled.
Good site. Easy to search books and find the cheapest deal.
I love buying used books and I also sell or give them away. Love the prices here!
Easy, great value, no extra steps - simple checkout and use.
The web-site crashed during my order, but you kept things in my cart.
I've tried to update my default shipping address (Roswell Ga) repeatedly, and it keeps defaulting to my daughter's address in Chicago
As always, you had the book I wanted. Not easy to find elsewhere.
Very simple and straightforward to order. Good book price and reasonable shipping rate.
Quick and easy. Prompts were clear. Really fast process.
I love getting used books at affordable prices. Thank you for making this possible and sharing books globally.
Many sellers with similar names made finding the book I wanted confusing.
I have bought gently used books from Alibris for many years and always recommend their site to friends, co-workers, and family. I cannot afford to pay full price for anything and because I believe recycling is a valuable idea I like Thrift stores and Used book stores. Alibris meets me there.
Quick and easy. Found what I wanted in just a few clicks.
This has to be the first online shopping experience I've had that recognized and admitted me on my email address alone. While I should probably be horrified at the possibilities for invasion of privacy, it was so incredibly easy to shop! And I like the Alibris didn't suggest any payment method and as far as I'm concerned, recognizing my email address gave me an easier way to complete my order. As a cognitively disabled adult, it was particularly welcome, and thank you.
Excellent! I was able to purchase two books I wanted to read in used editions. I try to buy used clothing and always try to buy used books. Thanks for making them readily available. The books, I mean.
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.
