Great!
by angelicchai ,Jun 24 '05
Alibris is awesome. I ordered a book printed 13 years ago in perfect condition (Sahara Clive Cussler Hardcover) worth $30 13 years ago. Now probably worth in that condition $50 for $10! no tracking number but still came over a week early. Great condition and selection A++++

Don't do business with them!
by tubbyskipper ,Oct 16 '06
If you have a question, correction or complaint you will not gain access. Alibris has a no contact system cemented in place. Try it before you buy, Emails, phone calls, send you in circles then go unanswered,they don't care. The city of Forrestville, CA is tired of taking complaints about this company and Better Business Bureau has no jursdiction.

Very Bad Service
by alfigueroa ,Sep 02 '09
Please be careful when placing order with alibris. They are extremely slow in shipping and sometimes they claim that they have shipped, but the item will never arrive. The only offer a refund after 1 month of waiting and not receiving the item. Not to mention, they immediately charge your credit...

30 days later and I still have not received my order. It was to be sent by "standard shipping". I cannot imagine what kind of standard shipping would take 30 days, even around the world.

They Double Billed my Credit Card.......
by lawaimike ,Apr 03 '07
Well, I found most of the books I wanted, and they were shipped ok, but then the dreaded Double Billing. Glad I caught it.....I will not be shopping here again.

Awful! My book still has not been delivered after 30 days! There is no way to contact Customer Service. I am now 2 weeks behind, of an 8-week class (hoping that my text will arrive some day!).

Aweful, will NEVER use them again.
by kahng ,Feb 09 '07
I purchased a book, which was from one of their resellers. After two weeks, I had not received the book so I contacted Alibris AND the reseller. I never received a response. After a couple more days, I contacted both parties again, and still no response. After almost 3 weeks, I finally received the book, which was described by Alibris as VERY GOOD. When I opened the book, nearly every page was highlighted. Technically, under Alibris' definition, this qualifies as GOOD (although I wouldn't even describe it as that). I mailed the book back and contacted Alibris and the reseller to ensure that I received a full refund including the initial shipping & handling as well as the cost for me to ship it back given that they did not send me the described book. I still have not received a response to my last message nor any of my other messages.

Nightmare!
by liz6920 ,Nov 28 '08
This company is the worst yet I have dealt with for online buying.





I ordered the movie "Home for the Holidays" from them, it supposedly shipped on November 18th. It is a Thanksgiving movie I totally love and was hoping to watch it on or before Thanksgiving.

It is now November 28th, the day after Thanksgiving, and it has yet to show up at all, should have been here November 20th since I paid for expedited shipping. Do NOT buy anything from this company! It is NOT worth the hassle.





I have already sent them one email, they sent me a canned reply, so I sent another one back demanding a refund including the expedited shipping charges I paid. Some expedited shipping, my package never showed up! Also, I cannot contact anyone by phone as they have no live customer service, it is all automated.





I give this company the worst rating you can give them on your ratings review system.

Seller unprofessional in not honoring purchase.Relisted for more $. No communications. STAY AWAY.
by wkndescape ,Dec 13 '08
BUY FROM ANYONE ELSE. I purchased a book, which was advertised by Alibris.  After a couple of weeks, I contacted the company to find out where it was.  Through research, I saw the exact same item relisted by them for more money on the website where I had originally purchased the item.  Alibris refused to send the item as promised and did not send any communications indicating that was their intent.

BAD BUSINESS....BAD COMPANY. 

If you deal with them, it's going to be dicey to see if they deliver ANY product. DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM.

Terrible
by ceaseoleo ,Dec 10 '08
Terrible shipping.  Still waiting , its been over 20+ days, and still nothing.  Same response as other wait 30 days.  Avoid this place at all costs.  You may receive your item.. several months later.  Ridiculous. Do your homework prior to ordering from here.  If I had,  I would never be in this situation.  I imagine all the positive reviews are plants by the company .

Make sure you get what you want. Check out before purchasing.
by f117b2 ,Oct 16 '06
You got watch out this company. If you are lucky enough, you can get the book you REALLY want. In the book's description, they didn't tell you everything. For example, if a book comes with CD(s), you better check with them, all the CD(s) is included. Recently I bought a book, the description said "like new", but didn't mention the CD was not included. It took too long to deliver the book. I am not sure they have a customer service at all. They never response your e-mail.

Poor experience. Cannot get anyone to communicate with me about my late order.
by keyburner ,May 12 '06
I, too, am having problems with Alibris. My book was shipped in mid February, and it is now mid May and I have yet to receive it. I've sent three e-mails with no response. The 510 number they give to call is a joke. I would like any feedback on what other people have done in this situation and was it ever resolved.

Worst experience with buying books. Twice!
by il18 ,Sep 05 '06
I have made two attempts to buy books from Alibris. Alibris has cancelled both my orders on the basis of not having the book. If you don't have it, why advertise it? If you advertise it, make the effort to back-order it. Or let the customer know you don't have the damn book. Don't charge the credit card and then change your mind in a week. They are the only booksellers that have done this to me. It is totally unprofessional and as a result I won't try to buy from them anymore. Very disappointed with Alibris. Stay away from them!

Do not use Alibris...refunds not issued for unfilled orders
by jojanetak ,Oct 12 '07
DO NOT order from Alibris! I ordered a book only to have them cancel the order the same day. They CHARGED my account anyway, and 3 months later I am still trying to reach someone to get a refund. Their system of course shows a refund was issued. But my credit card company has never received one. It's impossible to reach a person on the phone with a billing problem. All you get is a promise for a call-back...which doen't come! There are better booksellers out there. I highly recommend you find someone else.

I ordered a book; they told me they received the order. Two days later they wrote to say the book was not available and they would credit the sums debited from my account. They should have told me up front the book was not available. I lost 4 days. Julio Pastoriza

It would be better if it was some way to track your purchases (UPS tracking number or Post Office tracking). When I shop online I like to track what I buy, other than that,my experience with Alibris was good.

I ordered a hard to find book from Alibris (Amazon had put me off for 3 months on the delivery). The book arrived earlier than expected and the price was very competitive. I will definately shop at Alibris again and tell my friends too.
