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.

Alibris has emailed me twice now, so yes, to confirm, Yes, I received my order.
Very usable, quick and a surprise for me, a new user, and a cautious buyer.
Very easy ordering on the website. I look forward to receiving my book!
A good experience, as always. Books are not expensive, and the time of delivery is usually, quite good. First book I got from Alibris cost me about $6-$7 less, than if I bought it from Amazon.
I have never been able to use a coupon. I try my best to order from the same seller and still pay the shipping cost for each book. We know that media mail is not that expensive and also that when you send 2 books together you don't pay separate mailing charges.
I got the book that I wanted. NO complaints. I don't want to write a review.
I would recommend looking on the Alibris website when you want/need a book. All my orders have been fine. The only problem is that the shipping is sometimes as much as the books. But overall, it's a great resource.
Whatever unique system you use to prevent multiple people from ordering the same exact item / allow product reservation is very frustrating and archaic. If I add something to my cart before signing in, and then I sign in, it's gone and i cannot find the item on the product page until whatever temporary cart expires, which sometimes is the next day. You really need to fix this.
I visited the site, selected a few products, purchased them and then received them in the mail.
I found Alibris when using Google search for a book I needed. The website was easy to navigate. I found what I was looking for at a great price.
Love being able to read used, good books so much cheaper than buying new price.
Received a book rated as "Good," but was a mess and should have been rated "Acceptable" at best; thus, I rejected it and received a credit.
I bought a Cd and it was delivered on time without any problems
Chose PayPal, but I didn't see the shipping charge added until after returning to Alibris. Was surprised and hoped I'd qualified for free shipping. Otherwise, fine. Thanks!
Fast and easy transaction for a good used book. Thanks so much!
Fast easy service and good prices. I would use aLibris again.
Everything was easy. Typed in what I was looking for. Pops right up, price & condition are right there. There's even an option to review your book before purchase. Thank you.!
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: 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.
