Controversies and legal

Controversy

In 2017, Adlibris received widespread critique from customers following considerable delivery delays over the Christmas shopping period.

In 2021 Adlibris announced a new policy, requiring all publishers to contract a third-party distributor to continue selling books through their network. This policy was criticized in the press as well as by libraries who used Adlibris to purchase books, as the cost of an external distributor would be prohibitive for small publishers. Particular notice was made of publishers of literature in minority languages, such as the Sami languages. On August 5, 2021 Adlibris announced a retraction of the policy for existing publishers.
