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.

Books have been delivered very timely and the condition has been better than expected.
First time user, very easy to use web site. Good job.
Alibris had what I wanted at a price I found agreeable. I've shopped here before. Great service.
Easy to order what I wanted with a very good price
Quick and easy! Always find what I am looking for and shipping time is as promised. Customer service is prompt and courteous!
Good experience but shipping options were unclear until it was too late to change. Minor annoyance shipping is fine as it is.
Movie title came up on an internet search. Price was good for used copy and a chance to support a Goodwill store. Easy checkout.
It was confusing at time as the item I was looking for has two editions, one old and the other new. But I think I figured it out. The shipping estimate was a bit off, but I suppose it happens.
Shipping charges were hard to evaluate, otherwise fine.
Shipping charges not mentioned till checkout
Couldn't change order placed in cart! Initially only wanted one book. Couldn't look at cart without proceeding to checkout
- Fix your State field to prevent errors.
- Don't delete content in fields just because one field's content was in error, thanks to your antiquated system.

I appreciate the wide availability of titles and the speed with which the website works.
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.
