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.

So far, so good, but I'll know more when I receive the items. I ordered a CD a few weeks ago and sent it back because it was a duplicate (i. E. the same CD was listed under two different names) of which I had purchased both and subsequently, wanted to return one of them. I was not happy that I had to pay the return postage even though 'technically', I was sent the 'correct' items.
I like the prices but the functionality of your webpage needs some work!
Very easy experience. Seller answered my questions right away and the transaction was super easy. Appreciated that shipping was not expensive!
Excellent site. I often find items at reasonable prices that are not available on other websites, and so much safer than on google. At least from my previous experiences.
Good products, many often not available at local outlets, at a reasonable prices.
The book was probably in perfect condition, but the hard cover was damaged by the time I received it. It should have been packaged with more protection or wrapped tightly. Not a problem I've had in the past.

My Alibris' purchases tend to be delivered promptly, well packaged, and most importantly, the books are as described. Not too many surprised with an Alibris purchase.
I like shopping for books with Alibris. They offer the most completefinormation about the books condition.
Although the book arrived in a timely manner, the book was NOT in GOOD condition as described, but poor condition due to former owner's extreme markings on each page for the first third of the book. Some handwritten notes were so crowded into spaces on each page that the print on the page could not be read. It was in POOR condition as a result. Please give accurate descriptions of the book's condition and price it accordingly.
Didn't know what to expect but I Received my book sooner than I expected and in perfect condition! And the price was a half off the original price!
Alibris had two books that I wanted that were not common at the best prices I found. I have ordered from them before and expect to again.
Alibris has been a great place to order used books every time I've placed an order.
The entire process of finding the book I wanted, placing the order, pay for the book and receiving it were all excellent. This was my first time buying a book through Alibris and it will not be my list time I do so. I fully recommend Alibris.
Heard about this book about the various attempts to find El Dorado on a podcast went looking for the book online Barnes & Noble Amazon 30 to 40 bucks found it through alibris for $14 including shipping Tadow!
Perfect service. You had the book I wanted at a great price, delivered it in a timely manner, and the boot was in great shape!
Most of the books ordered were my husband's choices, and he was quite pleased with the books' condition and content. We always check Alibris for the books we would like to purchase.

Pretty simple to place an order. The only problem I encountered was that the system had a problem with my address but it was quickly resolved.
Stellar resource! Excellent selection and prompt shipping from the many sellers represented under the Alibris umbrella. I have never been disappointed. Thank you.
I chose Argosy Books from the Alibris menu when I ordered the book I was looking for. I was given updates as to possible arrival dates. I was very surprised and pleased when the book arrived sooner thanI expected.
And the way Argosy Books wrapped and packed my book - with such meticulous care - was just amazing!
Very easy to find and order an obscure book that I needed for a book club.
Always find quality books at Alibris. Highly recommended by a librarian friend and I have been very pleased with the service from the sellers.
I've used Albris in the past and again more recently. If you are sick of the billionaires governing our politics, and do not wish to support Amazon, Walmart, etc., Albris is a great resource!
I always find what I want and feel good about not contributing to Jeff Bezos. :)
Overall everything worked out really well. I read the book then gifted it to a friend starting a poly relationship. It might not be a "how to" but I think I got more from it to understand this situation than I ever have from a text book/academic read.
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
