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.

If I select all my purchases from one seller... I should get a break in shipping.
Yours was the third used book site I checked and the first one that was straightforward to navigate.
Quick and easy checkout with clear and precise info details. Thank you!
Easy to order and check out. We'll see how fast this book get here.
Easy to navigate, great prices. The only improvement I could see being really handy is to have a scrollable dropdown of your shopping cart contents.
Love shopping on Alibris. I always find why I want or what I need
Easy and secure with lots of options. Good descriptions.
This is history not taught in school that every liberty loving American should know by heart.
I cannot really comment until I know how the delivery and quality goes. The shopping online experience was fine.
Good options to change currency and shipping method.
Great prices and selection of books. Website easy to use.
Love alibris. Shipping costs should be somehow combined when you buy 3 or more books so that each individual book is charged seperately. I realize you have various sellers, but I know i would buy many more books if shipping weren't so expensive.
Shipping costs still too high, but the book prices are mostly great...
Only negative thing I've experienced in years of purchasing used books from Alibris is the loooooong shipping time.
It was quick and easy with a great price for the book I purchased, although, I was a little disappointed at check out. It said I could change from standard shipping during check out, but it never gave me an option to change shipping at all. I need this book before Christmas, but now I have to just hope it shows up in time..
Re-ordering because my previous order was cancelled by Alibris (for unknown reasons) and now looking like this order in time
Complete & detailed descriptions of item & seller, found what I want, easy "checkout", Thanks!
Had a copy, loaned it, can't find, need another:-)
Thank you so much for making it possible for me to be able to purchase the books my son like reading
Difficult to figure out what to click to send the order in.
Difficult to find the checkout. I quit yesterday bc I couldn't read some of the input places because they were covered by other text. Today I placed the order but there was no icon for the checkout to complete the transaction. Obviously, I did find it eventually. Couldn't find a place to enter a password at end of checkout.
Really quick and easy to order! And I'm happy that the item I wanted was in stock even though I am actually ordering it kind of late for Christmas!
Happy to find a good hard cover at a great price! Thank you!
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: 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.
