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.

A little difficult to search, but overall pretty good site.
Suggest you shorten your webpage checkout. Entering the name, address etc is not necessary when paying with Paypal. Figure out a fast track for success...
Alibris has been great. I really enjoy the idea of supporting small Bookshops over amazon. I'll always support my local family owned bookshop first but they don't have everything. And with alibris I always find what I'm looking for and get to continue to support small bookshops. Shopping on alibris is quick and easy. All the info about sellers and book conditions is clearly posted as well as shipping times and costs.
Please add the ability to ship to more than one address.
Wonderful listings, good descriptions where available, and, in the past for me, books are shipped in the shape in which they are promised.
I like the search engine. I don't like the way you can't send a gift (i. E. no message and no way to hide prices). It's easy to get "trapped" in chechout and harder to get back out.
Awesome to find a great book, for the best price s on the net!
All the books I've order always arrive well and safe.
Easy to navigate, and fast results on finding books.
Easily found the large print edition I wanted, thank you!
Always find what I'm looking for at a great price!
Easy to find and choose books. Listing shipping cist wd be helpful.
Love this site but wish could get more discounts. I never get coupons or anything from this site
I emailed about a book I was interested in getting- I waited half a day with the book in my cart waiting to hear from someone but never received an email. I went to my cart and book was not in cart - then noticed the book went up 4.50
Easy to use. Had what I wanted. What's not to love?
Your site made it very easy to be a 1st time buyer from you! I purchase lots of books online and I saw your ratings, etc, and felt like I've got a cool book coming from honest people!
I bought five normal size paperback books for which I was charged almost $19 in standard shipping This is highly inflated for bookrate I accepts because I really wanted these books but will have to buy elsewhere because I can't afford your shipping price Very disappointed

Shopping for books through alibris is a pleasure! I have found so many books on this site that were not available in my local library. Sellers provide excellent detailed descriptions of their used copies, so prospective buyers know the exact condition of a book before making a purchase. Alibris is the best online marketplace for new and used books.
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.
