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 found the books U wanted, but had to fool around with stuff
Shopping was quick and easy Offered regular or expedited shipping was a nice option. Also, this book was half price as other sellers so I opted for the expedited shipping. Thank you.
Shipping costs are expensive.
I wanted to get a whole bunch from one seller and get a discount on shipping, but saw no benefit.
So glad I found your website and an excellent book at a great price. Checkout, payment was super easy and shipping price very fair. Thank you for this great service.
Finding and adding books to the cart was simple, but I would have liked to see the book condition on the list screen before adding to the cart
I dont recall getting such large shipping charges when purchasing before?
Setting up an account after finding the book was nice and easy.
Last order came timely and and in great shape. Thank you.

Found what I wanted at the best price. Any day I don't have to use Amazon is a good day. Now I'll wait and see how long it takes to actually have my purchase in my hands.
Shipping cost is very reasonable coupled with an easy price from many seller.

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: 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.
