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.

Books at a reasonable price can't wait to receive my order!
Good and easy to navigate site. Good suggestions which lead to fun discoveries.
Easy to find what I was looking for and to navigate my way to order
You had all the books I was looking for. Thank you!
My only complaint about alibris is that many items do not include a description. Otherwise, I am super happy to have found an online bookstore where I can either splurge on a brand new copy or trade paperback, or be frugal and buy a lesser-priced used book. You even have music and videos. I love it! Also, I am highly satisfied whenever an item is shipped from alibris. Some other sellers are on my "do not buy from again" list. I would appreciate a shipping discount on multiple orders, but I never seem able to arrange my shopping list to get a "bundled" shipping price.
Great, easy, and shout out to bookshop santa cruz for sending me your way
Books were easy to find and at such a great price.
Best site for book seriously. Has the best selection of books at a cheaper price compared to VARIOUS sites and places. Always offers coupons to save even more money. And site is super easy to navigate.
I found what I needed at a very reasonable price. Thank you
When trying to check out as a guest, was told I had already registered (?) and made to 'change' my password. When I returned to Cart, I found it empty! My choices were no longer available. Not good!
I've used Alibris over the years. I've always been happy.
I haven't received my book yet but shopping with alibris was very easy, and they have very good descriptions of the products that you are buying.
It's fine, but going from shipping back to my cart is a nightmare, and even though I opted out of emails when I signed in as a guest, I still got tricked into it when I completed my purchase. Sites that do that are so skeezy
I love Alibris and have for years. I always search here before I look at that other former bookstore.
Good selection, good prices, free shipping with minimum purchase.
It is so confusing! It takes me so long to figure out coupons and free shipping that I just want to cancel my orders. Argh.
Great store, always seem to have the books our bible study needs. Thank You
Found what we were looking for. Will return again sometime.
Excellent resource for finding books at such a reduced rate.
The process was very clear. I do not usually order like this. The price was excellent and total was easy to obtain. Thx.
I will let you know how long it takes to get to me.
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.
