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'm ecstatic that I found the item I was looking for, for a reasonable price! Hoping the description is correct!
Have purchased books from Alibris for years. Always great prices & service!
It's nice to have a place to get discounted book from all different places. I just hate paying shipping on each individual book, but I get why I have to do so... I wish there were pictures of the contents page of each book so I'd know what information the book specifically covers.
Purchased many books with never the slightest problem or disappointment!
Terrific experience with alibris over many years.
I've probably bought 25 books on Alibris and have found the vendor's rating consistent with my experience.
The books were a bargain, the shipping not so much!
Always nice to have quick access to rare out of print books.
Excellent source for out of print books
First time on Alibris and found the book I was looking for
Complete failure in account billing/password correction. Totally locked out!
This has been a pleasant shopping experience thus far.
When I left the order screen to check a review of Alibris, I lost access to my order on my Android. When I started over, it did find my order, but it should have remained visible.
I love Alibris but the new verification is a pain. Other than that I would give it five stars.
Just perfect! Always recommended! I save money every year buying books from Alibris!
I appreciate you allowing me to make a purchase without signing up for an account and having to come up with a password. That's why you are getting my business. I checked out of another more famous site because they insisted I establish an account and password before ordering. Thank you.
The shopping cart seems to disappear if you need to change the password.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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: 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.
