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.

Easy to locate desired book. Checkout is efficient.
I like that I can get the books sent to my home and save money when they are used but good condition. The site allows easily to search titles and authors as well as suggests other things I might be interested in.
I love how easy it is to find the books I want and purchase used books at great prices. I found the book I wanted and with a simple search found two others to order as well.
The first time I shopped here my Discover card number was stolen. Now I'll try PayPal. I just bought a DVD set and now learned it's available cheaper from same seller. I wish I'd known that before I completed transaction. Neither of these things are necessarily their fault but it still colors my shopping experience here.
Website has a good layout, easy to find what you're looking for and see whether or not it qualifies for free shipping quickly.

I have been shopping at alibris for years and have always had good luck with this company.
Found what I was looking for and was tyhe cheapest price of several book sites.
Good selection of books. You should weed out those suppliers with higher than normal shipping charges.
As always I thoroughly enjoy the shopping experience at Alibris.
The service via Alibris has always been excellent
Would like to know how to cancel an order when I make a mistake. I have two shipping addresses on here and I sometimes send an order to the wrong one. If I could cancel and then reorder that would be great. I love Alibris and order a lot of books from you. Thank you
Usually find just what I'm looking for. Been buying books here for several years.
I was not told shipping would be as pricey per book.
Shipping and other expenses should be shown in the cart even if they are estimated prior to entering any customer info other than zip.
Very easy web site to use. Good descriptions of the books.
Your shipping policies are misleading.! I DO NOT LIKE THAT. BE HONEST WITH THE LISTING. NOT $3.98 THEN CHARGE $4.98 AT THE CHECKOUT. THAT STINKS BIG TIME..
Nice options and the savings are great! Thank you.
Shopping was easy. Shipping prices are hitting hard and sales tax has gone up. This has me looking to stay more local and not order quite so much on line.
So far that was pretty easy to order. I was a little confused when i was being asked to place my order for a second time. I wasn't sure if I was placing two orders at first.
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.
