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 like that you respect my privacy and have the "guest" option-instead of requiring an account
So far you have always had the books needed at a low price. And because most of these orders are a gift to others I just wish there was a section to add that it is a gift coming from me.
Fast, easy-to-find, and no complications, especially for an academic text!
Thanks for making books affordable and accessible.
So far so good, I ordered and lets see how long it takes and the condition on the books.
It was good, the book I got arrived just in the promised time. I'm glad I found in the internet this book store.
Such an easy process to find books to use in my class.
I have always found Alibris sellers to be reliable
I enjoyed browsing this well organized website. Details on free shipping were a bit obscure.
Delighted to find the book quickly and well priced
I found what i was looking for and ordering was quick and easy.
It's okay some good finds. I'd buy more but shipping is ridiculously high.
Shipping is expensive. I would've like to see the cost before putting the book on the order list. Wonder if it is sent media or if the $13.00 ones were from over seas.
The entire process regarding my purchase was quick and easy!
Easiest order that ever I processed. Very user friendly.
Found just what I was looking for at a great price.
Your website is not as user friendly as some I use in that I have to keep putting the same author in search. Unless of course I haven't figured out how to use it.
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.
