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.

Meant to buy my granddaughter a book, by the end I'd bought myself one too!
So far seems like this is gonna be a great experience.
You are torturing me with every mailing list that by default you're putting me on. Stop it!
It was quick and easy! I hope the condition of my book is good!
It's quick, easy, and I love the sharing of used books. And of course, the prices are so great compared to buying new.
I live in a town were there is no book store so having Alibris is a life saver. I love reading and it a great way to find the books I want to read
Fair prices and shipping cost. Easy to understand navigate site. Book's condition described well.
Easy, good prices, received previous order sooner than anticipated
I had to put my email and password in several times.
Found my book fast and cheap i will be using there website for future purchases.
Alibris.com is like having the rare/used book store of your dreams waiting down the street for you to search for the book you decided you must have.
Quick and easy. Did not require me to create a password and an account.
Alibris is very helpful. Its a valuable service to find resources, dated or not, that I come across in my reading. And, the books arrive in better condition than I sometimes expect, and the providers have been reliable. Yes, I'm a more than satisfied consumer who finds myself returning frequently to check the availability of something new to me that I've learned about.
Great service. Shipping varies 3.49 to 4.99, the latter sometimes too much of an add-on to justify a marginal purchase. But my advice to online visitors: if you see a reasonable price on anything you definitely want, jump on it, because I have lost out by waiting.
Great books at affordable prices so you can buy more than one. Reliable. Glad I discovered this service. Regret shopping, putting in cart, and not buying immediately only to lose the most affordably-priced book when I come back to it.
Shipping information needs to provided up front. It comes as a surprise at the checkout.
I thought your price was lower than the others but only to be surprised with shipping charge at checkout.
No problems yet: but I have not received my book yet.
Creating a password did not give me the option of creating a user name.
Quick search, easy checkout and …. Found books in Italian!
So far, it's been easy to order and price seems fair.
My experience was as I expected it would be. I'm satisfied.
Alibris always has exactly what I need and ships it quickly! Thank you for supporting this aspiring historian!
Great prices on books I need for school! Excellent condition and very fast shipping.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
