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.

Pleased with the easy navigation of the site and the wide selection available.
As always, excellent selection and pricing and the site is very easy to use. I've been a long-time purchaser from this catalog/site and I recommend it to anyone who's looking for obscure, vintage or out-of-print books.
So easy to find out of print books that our local independent bookseller did not stock.
All items have shipped in good time and in excellent condition.
The goods are always in excellent condition and shipped quickly.
I had 4 items in my cart... looking right at them just before I went to check out... All the lowest priced items for each book. When I went to enter my email address to check out as a guest I went to check out and it said I had nothing in my cart. No big deal, I thought. I'll just go back and put them back into my cart again. When I went back, none of those lowest priced books were there even though the price that was the lowest price I had selected before was showing up on the the red rectangle that shows what book pricing starts at. I tried refreshing as well, no dice.So, in order to get those books at all, I had to pay the next highest price for each of them. Not a very friendly shopping experience at all.
You let me check out as a guest. Other sites wanted me to sign up an account. I don't like doing that. Looking for a good deal on a great book.
Lost the half filled form and hsf to go back to start. This was in android phone
I wanted to order two copies of one book but I was not able to. Had to buy the book twice, which seems like a silly waste of shipping.
Your online bookshop has many good books at a reasonable price.
Items arrived in time and there are many books I need.
I finally found the two books I have been trying to locate at a reasonable price.
Can find what i'm looking for. Easy to find things. Good selection of sellers.
It would be nice to set the condition preference for the entire session, and to favor stores from which I have already selected items in the current session so I can minimize shipping $
Great website. Works very well. No problems even using a 9 year old phone. Excellent priced. These guys beat everyone in price on the web and a bonus they ship domestically from Ohio. 10/10 Will definitely purchase again! You can't cancel FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Thanks ALIBRIS!
Just hope my last order was canceled along with payment, and that this replacement will be processed properly. Thank you very much.
Finally my debt card was accepted after numerous correct entries.
Have ordered books from Alibris in the past and no issues finding books. The site is very friendly and easy to maneuver, etc.
The service is very good and I am so happy that the experience was great. Thank you very much.
Found a hard to find CD. Easy site to navigate. Accepted PayPal.
Been using alibris for many years, I like the new look of the website. Made checking out super fast and easy.
I'd like to see a more expansive list of suggested readings based on my purchases and browsing history. Other than that I'm very satisfied.
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. 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.
