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 ordered my book on January 1,2025. It was sent to a post office box that I no longer have. I called the post office and gave them the tracking number. They never received the book. I only used Alibris because they have another one. I'll never use alibis again.
You have nice site, and you also offered a good price on my book
Alibris always has what I'm looking for and their website is very easy to navigate.
Good selection especially of books that are older and sometimes hard to find, good prices, quick checkout, quick delivery
Glad you had the book i wanted!
Often i find obscure titles!
Great site, great selection, can't wait to receive the book.
I ordered a book; paid a good price and got it in a satisfactory amount of time. Thanks!
Not easy to always find things. It is frustrating when you click "more" and have to fill out a long form. Things shouldn't be shown as available when they actually are not.
I had read several books by Deborah Harkness and they were no longer at the public library. I had watched a movie on one of her books and wanted to re-read the books in her series. I find her books very interesting from a historical perspective and the references to mythology intriguing as well. The interplay with modern science makes a very enjoyable yarn. The great price captured my decision to place the order.
It is so easy to find the books I want that are no longer available in the public library. The cost is low which appeals to my thrifty nature.
I was able to find the book and purchase it within two minutes.
Appreciate your choices and ease of shopping. I like the way sellers describe the quality of the book and if they are a charity, where the funds will go.
Fast and efficient. Easy to find the book I was looking for and the price was affordable.
Magnificent locator for unusual and valuable books, that I'd otherwise despaired of again finding. The two out-of-print by Carl Ernst were worth everything in themselves.
I always go to Alibris when looking for books. Always happy with the products I receive
I enjoy your quick delivery! I have bought many books from you guys. And your prices are always great. Thank you
Keep Alibris app handy when searching for a book you won't be disappointed.
I love supporting small sellers and getting books I want, specially strange old books!
Great choices, good place to find out of print books, easy to navigate, reliable delivery, & good customer service
Needed to find a special book, it is somewhat rare, and I found it here, and will soon have my own copy. Thanks!
A library of america story collection - 1/2 regular retail price. Came in about 1 week. No complaints.
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.
