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.

Keeping literacy alive, and not giving money to Amazon. Win/win.
I wanted to buy two copies of this book but there was either no way to do that or two copies were not available and there was nothing that would let me know that was the case. Otherwise seemed fine. Tried to sign up for the coupon but it said it was not possible
I'll update my buying experience after I receive the book
Fast & easy to shop for books here. Their coupons make the difference for me, as I always compare prices among online booksellers.
Easy to use website. Great selection. Obviously pros
SIgn up for a $5 ofr coupon and no indication of if or when it will come. Nor does it appear for this transaction.
As an Alibris customer for many years, this is my first choice 'Go to' whenever looking for any book, music, video. It's surprising to find that what you are looking for is out there somewhere, and probably an Alibris supplier has it to sell. Really! Customer Support is also great.
Love how so many book stores are able to gain exposure through this platform. The compare price-feature is a wonderful way to gauge market price.
Easy to order. Shipping cost more than item purchased.
You have the products, the prices are good and that is all that matters.
Really love Alibris and always recommend you to my friends.
One complaint is that I order 4 books from one vendor and have to still pay $5 each for shipping.
I love the format of the selections and thorough information provided, making it easy to decide.
Overall shopping is great, but the shipping costs seems to be high.
Love this website. I can always find what I'm looking for.
So nice to be shopping where books and arts are truly valued and are the main "product."
In all the time I have shopped with Alibris, there are still two books that have not been delivered. A biography of George Orwell by Bernard Crick, and Open Guides to Literature on Seamus Heaney, ordered at the end of last October. Can you find them and send them please? Also, I am concerned that the orders from the UK will be delayed because of Brexit.
Smooth, except I needed Microsoft password unexpectedly and had to look it up. I wonder if that will happen every time I use this service.
Love finding the books that are hard to get ones hands on.
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.
