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.

Love Alibris! From childhood favorites to field guides to best sellers, Alibris is the place to buy great used and new books at a savings.
Thank you!
I appreciate all the options; would have liked all the sellers to provide condition
I have been shopping on alibris.com for many years and always come back for more good reading.
Easy to find what you are looking for. I wish I had thought to look for the same seller for all the books to save on shipping.
Excellent inventory and prices. Site easy to navigate
Just fine this time. Last time was BAD, couldn't get around old credit card data saved on my account in the past. This time that problem did not appear. So glad because I really like Alibris, been using it for decades?
The sellers are slow to respond and with little useful information. I have taking my business elsewhere due to the lack of timely communication and inability to answer simple questions.
I normally order from thrifty bucks they did not have the book I needed. The site was easy to navigate through and I plan on using it for future purchases. I have not received the item yet I just ordered it so I hope that will be here in the time it specified
Love the amount of books you offer at amazing prices. Ordering is also quick and easy. Been buying books only from you guys for years.
Books come in with not even a single scratch and it makes me happy seeing all the books I want at a such low price
This site was extremely easy to use with great information regarding the book's overall general condition and all necessary payment & shipping details. Thanks so much!
Tricky re offering free shipping but finding out later it was for certain order amounts
Shipping was too much, As much as I was paying for the books. I wanted 5, but I ended up only getting 1.
I really Like Alibris because they never disappoint me, my search for books, music, etc. Like an old friend, I missed Alibris, but now with service like this, we must be grateful!
First time user! Found what I was looking for and checkout was a breeze! Now it's just a waiting game… hoping alibris/seller comes through!
Pay Dirt: Farming and Gardening with Composts. It shows 2.99 shipping, yet
Tries charging me 6.98 shipping! I canceled that book.
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.
