HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE

by i_hate_alibris, March 10, 2009
I ordered a book with Alibris, it took 4 days to process, after which my order was canceled. This was an urgent matter, as I needed the book for a class which starts in a week, and the teacher just recently sent an email about this. The refund, it says, will take 2-3 weeks.
This is the most unreliable, unfriendly and in a bad sense "corporate" business that I have ever seen!!!! I will never buy anything from here again! If you want reliability, go to Amazon! Alibris maybe has some purpose for its existence, but obviously not if you need a textbook in 2 weeks! I wont be surprised if they cancel half of their orders!

very poor, not recommended

by df1995, March 2, 2009
Very poor experience. Alibris is just a broker for independent booksellers. When I did not receive books I ordered, Alibris would not refund my money or get the books delivered. You're better off dealing with the bookseller yourself,

Paid extra for one-week shipping, over two weeks and no book yet!

by siopaopao, February 26, 2009
Alibris actually has a lot of rare books that even Amazon.com doesn't have and they're also a lot cheaper too! That's what made me first buy a book from them - I needed an art history book but was more than $100 on Amazon but only $35 (minus shipping) on Alibris!

HOWEVER! I paid EXTRA money for the book to be shipped within a week because classes already started and my professor said we'd need it within the next week. I thought it'd be a pretty quick job done since Alibris seemed very assuring.

It's currently been OVER TWO WEEKS and I have NOT RECEIVED my book yet!!! I refuse to buy another book just to wait for the book I bought from Alibris to come later.

If you are to buy from Alibris, make sure the seller is a good one. And maybe don't pay extra money for shipping. You  might as well go somewhere that actually will bring your package on time.

Flawless Transaction. Very Satisfied with Alibris Seller Daryl Beyers.

by violetz6, February 24, 2009
Alibris is just a middle man service. If problems occur, it's the individual seller you're dealing with. Some are excellent, some are not. I am happy to say I had a flawless transaction.

I searched everywhere for a used title and it was the only one out of my list that was priced well thru an Alibris seller. I used a $1 off promotional code that worked flawlessly. The seller emailed me within 12 hours to let me know my book was in the mail. It arrived four days later via USPS Media Mail. It was well packaged and exactly as described. Couldn't have been smoother.

I'm very satisfied and highly recommend Daryl Beyers as a seller via Alibris. I always recommend contacting the individual seller to ask if they have the book in stock, etc. So that you can see if they contact you in a timely manner before you make a purchase.

Seller unprofessional in not honoring purchase.Relisted for more $. No communications. STAY AWAY.

by wkndescape, December 13, 2008
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, December 10, 2008
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 .

Still waiting

by scarlet22, December 8, 2008
I was looking for an out of print book and found it on Alibris for a good price so I ordered it, the payment went through and a few days later it said my order had been shipped...that was almost two months ago and it still hasn't arrived, I've contacted them and have received no replies at all. I have no idea what has happened to it or if it was even shipped at all.

Alibris gets the job done every time!

by d12508, December 6, 2008
I have used Alibris on many occasions for books for work and home and have never been disappointed. The sellers ship promptly, the orders are right, and the books are as good as or better than described. Just yesterday (Friday) I received the book I ordered just this past Saturday and it was even better than expected (like new in fact). Besides that it's an easy web site to use to find the items you want, sometimes at an unbelievably low price. Recommended to all.

Nightmare!

by liz6920, November 28, 2008
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.

by Alibris Shopper, September 24, 2008
I ordered a book as a gift which never came. I had to order another book (from Amazon) which arrived within 3 days. The Alibris book has still not arrived. They refunded my postage but I'm still out $17. I have advised them that I did not receive the book but they have not refunded my money. I will not use Alibris again (and I will notify all of my friends and family).
