I love Thriftbooks

I love Thriftbooks. I nearly always find what I want and there are no surprises when the books arrive. I also love the fact that we are re-circulating previously loved books. The one criticism I would have is the labels are gummy and do not come off cleanly. Minor inconvenience compared with the amazing ability to locate old favorites, out of print books, and browse. Thank you!

Excellent Service

Greetings, ThriftBooks, received my book ordered correctly. Handled the order professionally. Kept me informed on my order process through text. And, when my order reached its final address delivery destination I knew.
Thank you for great service and I'll order again and tell others about you.

I order most of my books from…ThriftBooks

I order most of my books from ThriftBooks. They are always in very good/new condition when used, and the price is very reasonable compared to ordering New from another bookstore. Free shipping is a plus and is usually always available with a low $ amount purchase. It's my "go-to" store when I need or want a specific book.

I really like this site

I really like this site. I buy all of my books from ThriftBooks. Usually I pay around six dollars for hard covers. shipping is relatively inexpensive at $1.49, unless you buy $15 worth, and then it’s free. Depending on the location of the book shipping takes anywhere from 4 to 10 days.

I take Thrift Books for granted.

At this point I've come to take it for granted that ThriftBooks will have what I want at a great price and that it will arrive quickly. I browse my local used bookstore and want to support it, and rarely but sometimes purchase new books, but ThriftBooks is my overwhelming go-to for books and I hope they keep up the great work.

Happy Customer (again!)

The book I ordered, while used, is in very good condition. This is my 3rd order and I have not been disappointed with ThriftBooks! They have a huge selection, their books are in very good condition, and at affordable prices, it's an incredible value!

DVD ratings…

I appreciate your rating system as to DVDs being Acceptable or Good or Very Good or Like New. This really helps me make my buying decision and how much I'm willing to pay.

Generally good experience when…

Generally good experience when purchasing - know what you are paying for as you go. Want a book in a little better condition? Prefer paperback to hardcover? You pick what you want & within your price range. Really can’t go wrong.

Christian Book Review

I received the first two books I ordered within a week of the order and I received the other one about two days later. Both Memorize the Reason and Start with Jesus were in great shape and, except for the small "dog-ears" on some of the pages, Forming Intentional Disciples was in good shape. I usually get good service and good products from ThriftBooks!

I love this company

I love this company. Books at the click of a button and are in a nice price range very affordable. I love reading however I have three kids with disabilities so my time to be able to go to a bookstore is limited. ,🤗

Excellent site

All four of my books were classified as Very Good, and that was definitely true. Thriftbooks kept me updated throughout the tracking process,

This site is worth exploring!

I appreciate that this site has a wide selection of books, of all gendre. The price is unarguably buyer friendly and shipping is prompt. I recommend ThriftBooks to all readers.

The books came really fast, some had stickers from being old library books but the books pages were fine and was otherwise unmarked. They do great service!

Description Misleading

The description of the book's condition did not at all match the book I received in the mail. The description said "missing dust jacket". However, the book is a soft cover so there was no DJ to begin with. The description did not mention the highlighting through the book, or the bent front cover. Thankfully, it is a good book so the content makes up for the lack of information of Thriftbooks website.

Inconsistent

Bought two books, both were described to be in “very good” condition. One book was in great condition but the other had crayon all over the inside, some visible water damage, and the front cover is slightly ripped off.
