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.

I found the book I wanted at a great price. Thank you.
It was fast and easy to find and order my book. Thank you!
The website and ordering process was streamlined and easy.
I ordered the same book last time, but an email from alibris came to me saying my book order got canceled a few days before, so now I have to re-order, which is frustrating
There always seems to be a glitch, especially for us seniors. Not this time! Thank you
I'm just trying to buy a damn book, stop asking me to make an account
This was my first time ordering from this company. My expectations are high for the quality of the items. I hope it meets our expectations.
I received notice that the first one I order by this same title was cancelled and my money is to be refunded. Did not go down as a good experience.
Love buying movies, and books off these folks! Fantastic prices and excellent quality!
Selected and re-entered a password to create an account with Alibris, but was unable to create account. Tried three times.
Item was unavailable; replaceent suggested. Now we wait. If it comes, 5 stars; if not maybe 2?
I always find it easy and convenient to shop here for books, movies, or cds. I like the sorting from low to high prices, the often paragraph-long reviews and comments about exactly what the cd or book contains. And so on. Lately I am finding that alibris beats amazon on prices--for example on John Coltrane cds which I was just shopping for. I'm telling friends to shop here to help stop Bezos from taking over the world.
Now that the post office is back the parcels are arriving in two weeks instead of two months=as long as the discs play on my machine =super great bargains!
Instructions are relatively easy to follow and complete.
Super easy! I did forget that I had a cc loaded for my Alibris account so it surprised me when the order went through so quick! But that's okay!
I was glad to find this site. It was super easy to use and a great alternative to Amazon!
Straightforward and complete descriptions of books- very quick process to get what I was looking for. Great price, even with shipping.
Quick and easy. Enjoyed the description and history about the book.
First time user. Delighted with selection I found. I will share this site with friends.
Good prices and information as well as decent shipping rates
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.
