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.

Great website, easy ordering, and lots of choices!
Excellent price for this used book! I can't wait to receive it.
I was sent a coupon code with my last order that expires May 24. When I attempted to use it today, I was told it had expired. So I had to sign up for emails (again) with a separate email account to get a coupon code to use. Very bad form, Alibris. I'm a regular customer who spends hundreds a year on research books. Not getting $5 off with a coupon code that should work is really irritating.
The most difficult books I have found here, reasonably priced, and accurately described
1st time user - clear & efficient process. I'm not v computer-savy, so it's saying a lot that navigation was concise & easy. Good experience overall. Thanks. RMc
Great Place to buy books. Large selections cheap and easy to buy and very fast turnover.
High shipping rates. Your rates could be better for standard shipping and lower for additional books ordered.
Just ordered. Hasn't been received so I can't really comment on that. Would be great if you would give explanation of book grading
I've shopped Alibris for years. This is usually my first stop when seeking certain materials.
I'm ordering the same book from a different seller as the first one was lost in the mail. Hopefully I will receive this one. Otherwise, I am very happy with the purchase I have made.
Always found what I'm looking for at a price that exceeds the expected savings!
Just looking for some Big Bands to add to my collection - duckduckgo - click - click - done.
Just placed my first order. Hard to have an opinion until i see how your shipping goes. Thank you.
Using my credit card was impossible! Wouldn't accept postal code in format specified and would not accept some credit card details as specified. Will not order again!
Difficult to order if I forget password. Difficult to navigate site.
Love that when I am looking for any book I can find it with you.
After struggling with other sites to purchase a difficult to find book, this site was a breeze.
It was very confusing that the correct shipping total was not shown until the final checkout.
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 Valerie, If you have had a problem with your Visa or PayPal transactions on our site, please let us know the details at info@ailbris.com so that we can investigate for you. Thank you for your question. 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.
