Alibris

This was a response I got to my e-mail for a book allegedly shipped 180 miles not received 19 days. It is probably a part of fotoconnection in Brooklyn and they don't actually ship, just say they ship then charge you a restocking fee when they ship ...

Previous reviewer is correct- don't even think of ordering books from Alibris if you have any timeline...or if you absolutely need the book. In trying to buy textbooks, two of the three books on the last order had problems. One seller who lists address ...

I have used Alibris to find used or rare books maybe 8 times over the past couple of years. Sometimes the experience is fine and I get a good deal with prompt delivery. Sometimes the experience is frustrating and I am left stranded without my desired ...

I ordered a much needed textbook for class. They charged my card, yet the book was not available. I was notifed via email about 3 days after I ordered the book that it was not available after all. They said they'd refund my money. I emailed customer ...

This is the worst online store ever. I was drawn to them not knowing all the bad things that were about to happen in exchange for a low-priced item. They will only accept returns if the item is damaged. My reason, that I'd accidently ordered 2 of an ...

This is absolutely the best place to buy used books on the internet. There are several great locations out there for inexpensive used books, but this one is the best. I always check alibris.com, addall.com, abebooks.com, and amazon.com for used books,...

Alibris is the worst! Placed order for 7 items and rec'd shipping notice that stated all of order would be received in about 2 weeks. DELIVERY SPEED: After two weeks I started contacting all of the places I had ordered through, as I had received nothing. ...

In general, Alibris has given me very good service (though I've only ordered books). The orders have always been accurate if not always especially timely-sometimes things arrive sooner, sometimes they take too long. WHAT customer service??-I have had one ...

I bought a couple books in the past with them, which was fine. I received it in about 14 days. Unfortunately, they just lost me as a customer after what I've been through with an order that got lost through them. I received an order confirmation, ...

I have ordered from Alibris before with a little trouble but this time was my LAST time. First time there was a computer glitch and it took me a LONG time to get a refund from them. This time, I ordered the $49 worth of books from Alibris itself to get ...

I ordered a book on 12/18/07 which was supposed to be a Christmas present for my daughter. Created an account with alibris.com so I can track the order. After ordering, my account "Order History" registered 0 orders. So I ordered a second time -- ...

Pros: Great selection
Cons: you can't see the books before you purchase

If you are looking for a rare book or just a used book, Alibris is the place for you. The site provides a wonderful search engine that is very detailed. It makes locating the exact book a snap. Also, prices seem to be VERY reasonable to me. There is...

When I placed the order, they sent the books on time but one of the book was not arrived. When I placed the second order, the book which was pending came. The shipping confirmation date was 19 Jan. 2005, but I received it only by the second week of ...

I ordered two in-stock books March 2. They were sent the next day but did not arrive until 11 days after that. I would be very hesitant to use their standard shipping. Even their customer service noted: "Packages shipped via this method usually take 4-14...

I ordered a book, but I was billed THREE TIMES for the one book. I've done online shopping plenty of times--this was the first time ever I was charged over a website that stated "experiencing problems..try again later.." which you get your credit card ...
