We love browsing books, drinking coffee, and talking with people who love good stories.
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.

I love the prices! But can hardly afford shipping. I can't afford to buy large amounts of books for free shipping
I find this site to be very helpful and have had a good experience getting the books that I am required to have for class. Thank you for the great experience
You mentioned free shipping these next 2 days. I chose books with the truck mark. I spent the required amount. I'm being charged for shipping. It is sometimes easier to shop with Amazon because my shipping is always free.
I liked the savings I received from the emailed coupon and the computer figuring out better buys for the same books.
Alibris is an awesome way to get decent and cheap used copies of world literature, saving you the time of searching through stacks of books in a used bookstore, while at the same time often benifiting those used bookstores you'd like to support.
Please specify that you want a 2 letter state code so customers aren't wasting time reentering credit card information please
Books have been in the condition as listed. Shipping has been on time. Customer service has been great!
Easily managed and sourced. Your programmers are adults and capable - not cutesy callow youth with distractions and irrelevant additives to justify their salaries.
Thank you for accepting Pay Pal. I chose your site for that reason.
Totally satisfied with the product and standard of quality
I've loved this site for years. Can find most anything I want.
Easy to find book desired. Well described item and easy check out and Great Prices.
Need these books badly and you saved me about $30.00
So many titles now E-books but I want real paper. Thankful to find some titles I wanted.
I love books and this is a great place to buy them.
The server was down initially. The item then didn't show in my cart nor was it available to order. I had to find the initial order in my history and work back from there.
Incredibly easy to navigate and place orders. Thank you!
Book prices are ok but can't buy often with shipping and taxes added on. So sad.
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.
