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.

This is a dream come true. So many books and NOT shopping at Amazon!
The site was easy to use but couldn't necessarily see if the book was abridged or the number of pages; some entries had the information and some didn't.
I miss half.com. I always pay too much for shipping, and you offer no way to select economically. And I recently had a shipment short a book, and it took way too much time and anguish to get the seller to actually read my emails and correct the issue. Had to report and threaten him.
I keep saying I'm gonna stop shopping here. One of these days I might well do that.
Some of the searches are misleading, advertising results that are cheaper than what is actually available
Bookseller responded quickly to my enquiry which I appreciate.
This made it possible for me to purchase the book.
Thank you.
Easy to navigate, site processed all my info with no glitches. I live in a broadband desert, so that was unusual.
Alibris has allowed me to get top quality books at a very affordable price on pertinent topics necessary to build my general knowledge base.

I love Alibris. Easy to use, enormous selection, good prices.
I quickly found what I was looking for and ordered it at a good price. It arrived in quite good condition. I had hoped it would arrive sooner (it took about 11 days.) I chose the offer I did because the store was just a few states away and I thought it would get here sooner.

Good site-I buy lots of dvd movies. Seems like the inventory is thinning out, at least for the movies I look for.

So easy to order books. Alibris always has the books I want. Great prices. Thanks.
Had to try several times before payment was processed
Found a book that was $40 on Amazon for less than $2.00. Shopping was easy and checkout was a cinch!

My old information has changed. I found it difficult to change my address, reset a new password and credit card information. I am 82 and not as sharp as I used to be so it took me a long time to finally get it done. I am lousy with technology!

Easy to find materials I wanted. Check out was quick and easy. Thanks
Thanks for info on the quality of the purchased book!
Ordering is always the smoothest part--its the waiting that is difficult
The only problem I had was that unavailable books only show up at checkout. I had to go back and forth to try to find a copy I could order. I finally got irritated and just deleted it from my cart.
This site was easy to use and offered better prices than that amazon jungle of a website.

Everything good! Great buys, even on new books. Good service. Wide selection, which is great because sometimes I need out-of-print books. The one time I had an issue with a book being delayed beyond the time I needed it, the bookseller refunded my purchase.

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 Valerie, If you have had a problem with your Visa or PayPal transactions on our site, please let us know the details at info@ailbris.com so that we can investigate for you. Thank you for your question. 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. If you have already placed an order, please contact us at info@alibris.com with your order details and we can investigate 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.
