ThriftBooksReviews 377

I've been using Thriftbooks for years now. I've purchased hundreds of fiction and non-fiction books. So far, I have been very happy. Prices are cheap. They are honest - they clearly indicate the book conditions. Besides, the shipping cost is reasonable - since my purchases will be shipped internationally. There is a great offer for US buyers if the purchase exceeds $10. Your shipping will be free. Furthermore, for every $50 purcase, you'll get a $5 coupon which us usable during your next purchase. Highly recommended.

I ordered a Randall the Reindeer book that was to include the reindeer and naughty and nice list. I basically just wanted the reindeer as my grandson, 6 lost his when the pipes burst in our home last winter.

All that arrived, after nearly a week, even though i paid an extra $14 to have expedited service was the book.

Having a difficult time getting any answers as to why all of the false promises.

I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Wish it would allow only giving one star. Stay far far away. There are so many honest companies to deal with. Too bad no one else had my product.

I was leery of this company after I read all the reviews on this site, but I decided to go ahead and buy three books anyway (as worst case scenario I'd lose $11.52). My experience goes to show that you can't always trust reviews. I placed my order on 9/30, and received my books on 10/5,10/6, and 10/9. All three books were in as-advertised condition (two "Very Good" and one "Like New"). Their books were sent USPS, which always leaves room for USPS mis-delivery, but tracking numbers were provided, so I could see where they were. All in all a perfect buying experience and I plan to shop again.

The selection is impressive, descriptions are accurate, orders are processed quickly, and customer service is outstanding. Because the inventory changes constantly, I have found that I can almost always find what I'm looking for if I keep checking back. On the few occasions that there has been an error with a listing or with a shipment, customer service has been fast, professional, and courteous. I am confident that I'll be treated well each time I place an order with Thriftbooks.

First off, books can be as cheap as $2.00. While the same book ranges from $15-20 on another site. The books look brand new. Especially the library copies with the laminated cover over the book. I always take them off and its in perfect condition. The only mark is the library stamp on the inside. No biggie. Also, free shipping?! And it's speedy at that. It took exactly 4 days for my first package and I got the second one the next day. And if you buy a bunch of books from the same warehouse you get an additional 50 cents off each book. Definitely a good site to shop!

Love, love, love thirftbooks.com This site links a number of used bookstores and all their inventory. The listed prices_include shipping_ so you know exactly what you are paying with no nasty surprises at checkout. I am sick and tired of finding an older/used book and getting to the check out page to find the shipping costs are 3x the book cost!

You can navigate their menu tree by book genre or search by author or title. A search result shows you all the available copies of the book. From that search you can narrow down by hard/paperback, price, book condition. Excellent search capabilities.

Another nice surprise is if you order 2 books from the same location (listed in all search results) you get an additional $. 50 off per book. Nice.

I've purchased from here for years, from sites all over the country and have always been pleased that the items showed up on time (or earlier) and have been in the condition as described.

Highly recommended.
