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.

Ordering was easy. Finding books with the ISBN was the fastest way to navigate.
Shopping was quick and good savings but shipping cost from Carrollton, TX to Frisco, TX was quite high…I could have picked the books up much cheaper.
They Had what I was looking for at a good price! Cheers!
Great site. Would like to know details if shipping is cheaper if you're ordering from one seller rather than several.
It would be great if shipping costs were specified for each book. Always winds up with astronomical shipping costs compared to what I was expecting because they all come from different sellers I guess.
I've bought so many books on here and love this site.
I get ALL my books from here. I love this site and have had many orders with only wonderful experiences.
First time shopping, already considering coming back.
Very easy and informative with many choices I would shop here again
Easy to find what I was looking for at a reasonable price and reasonable shipping cost. Thank you.
Found my books that were needed and saved $20 compared to Amazon. Very happy.
Got what I needed, quick and easy checkout. Thanks a bunch
Very easy and convenient. Holy $#*! i can't believe i never knew about this site.
Little confusing on where to click originally to see the books available. Like they were listed with no prices and wasn't sure if that was it or not.
I don't shop very often, but I usually find what I want and have received prompt service. My orders have always been carefully packaged and received in excellent condition.
Love that I saved 100 dollars on a text book thank you guys your amazing
Had to change my shipping address, but there was no way to tell how to do that.
I was interested in ordering from Alibris because I received an email yesterday in my inbox for a $20 coupon. I followed the steps..."truck shipping" on Alibris items, $39 worth of items, save $20 at checkout. I received free shipping but where's my $20 discount? It wasn't registering when I repeatedly tried to apply it on the email you sent..."get the coupon". I finally clicked on the other promotion you have $3 off of $25 order and at least got that amt. Off my order. (I am concerned because I'm trying to get low or wholesale prices so that I can resell these books and still raise monies for our Non-Profit organization.) I submitted a question online about getting the $20 discount, but found out I had to wait 48 hours for an email answer. Your $20 off expires before midnight tonight.
I have ordered a few times from Alibris and I have received the books quickly and in good condition.
Found the book I was looking for very easily. Price and shipping were good. Ordering was super easy too.
It would be helpful to know the appearance of the book I ordered many books come in different styles); maybe add a feature where the seller may upload an image of the cover?
Finally found the books I've been wanting at a price I'm willing to pay.
Alibris is easy to shop, the information is clear and easy to find and there is usually a price and book quality that suits me.
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 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.
