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.

Easy! Except for this feedback form where I wanted to compliment you with "Easy," but couldn't initially because you require 50 characters minimum. NOT EASY!
Why are you making me write a review when I said I don't do reviews?
The train book I ordered came very quick- got it only 3 days after I ordered it
Great Prices, Very Good Customer Service. I can almost always find the book that I am looking for.
Book was exactly as represented and price was reasonable. Shipping was slow.
First time here. Will wait to see how order arrives before further review. Contact me then
Quick and easy ordering process. Loved the fact that I can use paypal
Fast and easy plus great prices. After searching the web alibris Ended up having the best price.
After over 25 years, I still use Alibris. They're simply the best. Both in the U.S. and during my stay in Europe.
Shopping with Alibris is great, and has been for over 20 years.
Many decades of purchases from Alibris. Well-stocked, good prices, rapid delivery.
I love this used book store! Fast and easy and always has what I am looking for!
I almost always find the books I'm looking for and at great prices.
I can almost always find a used copy sold by a small businss. I'm happy about that. Thank you!
I researched finding a book that my 80-some year-old friend read when she was a child. She wants to give it to her new granddaughter-in-law. I found a copy published in 1940 and signed by the author in 1971! Mission accomplished with your help. Many thanks.
Too long a review really 50 characters what is wrong with you or the nerd who developed this survey?
It was easy and effortless. The choice of books is large and old rare out of print books are available,
The book was great. Just what I was looking for. It was well priced and came quickly. The book was a new copy. Thank you so much.
A hardbound book ("Fine, like new") was ordered. Instead a paperback was sent, and it was not in "fine" shape.The merchant had a best listing on Alibris as well. This order was, in all respects except shipping time (1 week), a disaster. No more orders from me.
Alibris is always a good shopping experience.
Great, simple and prompt service!
Definitely will be my go to for all of my future text/book buying needs.
Always love Alibris! You pack the books with so much care which is almost impossible to find these days.
Shopping experience was good.
One thing I would point out is the free shipping doesn't reflect in your price until after you go through validating your payment method. Could be a little confusing if you have never ordered before.
This was the only site we could find a set of Warrior Cats books my daughter has been searching for and we finally found them! She was so excited!
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

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.
