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.

First time at Alibris. I am impressed with your selection and great prices! I'll return.
Your credit card interface is clunky. It should auto-detect Visa vs. Mastercard; it should auto-handle spaces in the credit card number.
Impressed with you recalculating saver function.
Tech is good for something even if it can't save the world.
Quick and easy. All the help you could ask for. Thank you!
Unable to search by keyword or to filter searches (time intensive). I hate not being able to see shipping costs until paying; they should be shown upfront. Coupon codes and discounts are extremely limited.
Alibris does not send unsolicited emails. I only receive notification of. Availablity of books I am actually interested in. The purchases process is simple. I appreciate going through Alibris
I tried to change my delivery to Fairbanks Alaska but alibris would not complete the order. Due to that, I had to pay more than I had to.
Cheap, hard to find books with frequent discounts.
The sales tax for Canadians is wrong since the dvvd is used and under $20 Canadian. I wonder if you will acknowledge my complaint as I don't want to spend hours writing to someone who does not know what I am talking about
Would like to delete a credit card and not clear how to do it.
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: 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.
