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 have never used nor heard of this site, but it is quick and easy to understand!
Thank you!
Excellent, and speedy service. Book condition was as described. Alibris has always been a great place to find reading materials at excellent prices.
I've been able to locate books which I have been looking for with success.
Searching Paleontology & Dinosaurs research books were co-mingled with children's dinosaur books making my search more difficult. In addition the "save shipping truck icon" feature is exhausting! Stick the truck icon where you can see it with the listed book cover instead of beating us up looking for it.
Easy to jump around when shopping for different books, like to combine the purchases from same seller if possible.
Some books I looked at didn't show up in the bottom part of page s previously looked at.
Found the book at the lowest price possible for the copy in best shape. Selected the book. Ordered the book. Received the book.
Clear and easy to find the book I was after. Alibris system is well designed.
Shipping costs magically changed from 7 bucks to 16 bucks; shame on you
The whole shopping process was easy. And I was pleased with the price.
I do not have time to complete this. These need to be multiple-choice only.
I love buying books from Alibris! They combine many different sellers to be able to find almost any book used and at a great price!
Alibris lists inventory from so many sellers it's usually easy to find the books I want.
Very difficult to use app. Does not populate pages without refreshing app. Very slow.
Shipping is always double the price of the books. I could almost purchase the books new somewhere else. I just do not understand why the shipping is so high.
The shipping costs seem extremely high. It's almost as if you are keeping the books cheap so people will load their carts only to get to check out and find that your price has doubled once shipping is included.
Great experience with the site. Seller's description of book as "fine/collectable" is a bit confusing, though.
Super easy to find what I was looking for. There were many options to choose from as well.
Reliable service. I always find what I want at a reasonable price.
I love shopping here. I found what I wanted quickly and check out was easy.
Alibris has always had the book I wanted at a good price. The companies they broker for have always shipped promptly.
Shopping is always good on Alibris. Hopefully it gets shipped promptly.
You have what I'm looking for and it arrives fairly quickly.
You have such a vast collection of resources! I almost always find what I'm looking for and at a GREAT price! Thank you!
Good I was able to find what I was looking for and the price was good.
Items kept disappearing from my cart multiple times, difficult to go through with purchase
Thank-you Alibris for your excellent on line shopping experience!
My order received from Alibris was timely and the book arrived in great condition!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
