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.

No complaints. I look for a book and buy it if it is a good price for the condition.
I had to fill out the credit card information at least 5 times and it still would not accept my order. I tried again a few hours later and it worked.
Found what I was looking for. Considered a 2nd book; but there were only used of that one and the notes did not tell me if there were already highlighted sections/notes in the book from the previous owner.
First to purchase books from you very please with your service.
Albris is my go to for any book I'm looking for! So easy and inexpensive.
Hopefully the hardback book IS new, as stated.
Thank you, easily found.
Shipping has been prompt. Communication has been good.
Awesome selection! Wish I knew about this in college when I bought my textbooks!
First time shopping and it went well. Hope it continues to go as well in the future. Have 4 more years of looking for books and if it continue to be good service, then will continue to use alibris.
Combining shipping fees would be great, Showing books I am looking for from the same seller would be great
Very quick to do. Reliable vendors. Painless and worry-free. Alibris is in my top three of preferred online purchasing options.
I found what I was looking for, and I am very happy!
Shipping cost seemed high, why couldn't the books be consolidated in one shipper and send in one box?
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.
