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.

There are many great titles at really good prices. I was a bit confused about the Free shipping and how the price of shipping went up and down during checkout. I almost canceled my order.
Fairly standard. Very easy to find what you want with plenty of buyers to choose from.
So far so good, easy enough to place order, now let's see how long it takes to arrive. Thank you Steve
Good, but at the last moment on the order form before finalizing,, there was a little box that I had already unchecked but was now checked to receive advertising... I don't want advertising!
It took a while to learn your system but it worked out well
As a library, we are tax exempt, yet there is no field to have tax charges removed.
Found the books I needed! And the prices are amazing!
Glad you include books that Amazon refuses to sell.
I ordered a Hardcover from another dealer and they sent Softcover. Only refunded me the shipping cost. I hope I get a Hardcover to match all other Hardcover Code books I have by OS Hawkins. Thanks Hope to do more business with you later.
Your extended search engine helped me find a set of books I've been looking for off and on for the past 15 years!
This is the only hassle-free bookstore on the internet.
Quick and easy shopping and a great variety to choose from
Love my used books. I have used Alibris for years and years.
Great I will order more books in the future. Thank you.
It was very easy to locate book I wanted and just as easy to pay for it
Service is fine, but until I get the product, I really can't rate the service.
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.
