ThriftBooks: New & Used Books for Positive User Reviews
✓ I love ThriftBooksI love books, so naturally I love this amazing app. Some people complain about how you can order one quality and get a different one, and I want to give advice for that. I ordered “House” by Ted Dekker in Like New condition, and when it arrived (literally, not a joke or exaggeration) the last 30 pages of the book were just not there. I thought the book ended on a cliffhanger, but nope. Anyway, i emailed ThriftBooks about the problem, and they sent me a new one for free. So, if you ever order a quality and get a worse one, just email them. This is a great app with great customer service..Version: 1.2.0
✓ AmazingLove this! Always check here first before anywhere else and almost always will they have very low prices on books. Even if it’s a few dollars less sometimes, I definitely recommend it !.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Wonderful!ThriftBooks has been amazing so far! I use it to get a head start on all of my required English books. I swear I have too many of them. I especially love the free shipping on orders over $10! I’ve only had one problem with a book, but they responded to my email the same day and offered a full refund. I also really like the textbooks that they offer here, I was able to get all my textbooks for my high school senior year for under $30! I don’t think I could find a better place to get hardcover books in good condition for under $5.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Customer ServiceI have previously given a 5 star review. I wanted to come back and let everyone know how great their customer service is. So I placed an order recently and I received a book with mold. I contacted customer service by email to let them know about the moldy book. They responded the next day to let me know that they were shipping me a replacement and to not worry about returning the moldy book, which I had already thrown away. I am even more pleased with this company. They will have me as a customer as long as they are in business..Version: 1.5.0
✓ I know you’re buying books…If you’re going to spend money on books, you might as well use ThriftBooks and sign up for reading rewards. 😜 They have the best prices, free shipping, and an amazing selection. More for the money!! I use this app for buying textbooks so I already am a bookworm on my way to literati… basically I’m hopeless and happy about it. Caution: If you are a bookshopaholic attempting withdrawal, AVOID ThriftBooks at all costs. Their low prices will worsen your condition (and deplete your bank account), 100% guaranteed. Heedless bibliophile, you have been warned..Version: 1.5.1
✓ If only...I do most of my book shopping with thriftbooks bc of their customer service. eBay sellers are the worst. However, I really wish they packaged their books much more securely than just throwing them in a thin plastic books. Those bags get holes all the time and if it rains that “like new” book gets delivered like it was dug up from a swamp. But they do have reasonable prices for the most part. Also wish that I knew which cover I ordered. Sometimes the picture online doesn’t match up with the item received and that can be really annoying..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Thriftbooks is a modern legendThriftbooks itself is superb and this app is fast improving. Their free shipping for orders over $10, points system with frequent free books, and on the ball, no-nonsense shipping times makes shopping with ThriftBooks pleasure. The visual interface and clearly demarcated hierarchies for book editions and conditions in this app is good and only continues to be further polished. Search function seems to slip some results through the cracks at times, and there are still moments where I revert to their site. Regardless: thriftbooks are leading the charge and carving a niche for used-bookstores of the future. Rave on, my thrifty, bookish domain darling. I’m a fan..Version: 1.1.7
✓ The best way to get books to your doorThis app is great, they have almost any book you’ll ever want - and if they don’t have it you can request a notification when it’s available. You can buy used books in any quality you prefer: I like “acceptable” because that means someone might’ve written some cryptic margin notes or left a coffee ring on the cover. The books arrive on the promised schedule, well packaged. You can easily accrue points to get free books. Wheee!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Has its flaws but makes up for themI’ve been using ThriftBooks for about a year now, and usually the books are in good condition when I get them. I recently received a book that was covered in annotations, to the point where it was hard to read, so I called their customer service and received a full refund and was offered a new copy of the book. Their customer service is wonderful and the books are so cheap that you can hardly complain. I strongly recommend this app!.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Best place to buy books!I love buying used books, but sometimes I have a hard time finding what I want! Thriftbooks has great prices, and everything I’ve received has been in awesome shape! Recently There was a slight mistake on my order (I received one book as paperback, and I had ordered all hardbacks). I emailed them and asked if I could get an exchange. They quickly replied and said they would just ship a hardback version free of charge and not to worry about exchanging it! All in all I’m very impressed, and am so happy I have a place to get all my books at low cost!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Love It!!!!!!I placed my first order less than a week ago. The shipping was fast! Free shipping was estimated 4-8 days and I received the order in 5 days!!!! The books are in amazing condition for used books, no writing on the pages nothing torn and the dust covers are not wrinkled and look amazing! I will definitely be coming back again and again! *Update* Second order placed and received and it’s JUST s amazing as my first order. The people who leave bad reviews might be ordering the wrong condition of boom. Each of my orders had been wonderful!.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Best app ever for used booksI really really love this app. Not sure what the negative reviews are about. Clearly you are buying used books. That’s exactly what it says and that’s exactly what it is.... used. All the books I’ve received so far are in the condition stated. For under 5$ for most books, you can’t beat getting a book in good condition plus free shipping on orders of 10$ or more. I compare prices with other sites and nothing compares to ThriftBooks. The ones with negative reviews maybe you need to shop at a bookstore to actually look at your books, pay more, and use gas to get there. For me, I’ll stick with ThriftBooks. Thanks ThriftBooks for all of your hard work and dedication to satisfy your customers!.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Love it!I LOVE thriftbooks! They have almost every book. I’m an avid reader and especially love the Fear Street series by RL Stine that was written from the late 80’s into the late 90’s, and are not sold in book stores. Thriftbooks had every single book in the series and now I have all 64! Another great thing is that, in the event that they ship you an incorrect item, you can keep it AND they’ll send you your missing item free of charge. My only complaints are that 1. Sometimes a book cover you received will be different from the book cover you selected while ordering and 2. ‘Acceptable’ condition ($3.79) is sometimes poor condition, with torn covers and ripped pages. ‘Good’ condition is only 20¢ more expensive, at $3.99. Overall though, I’d pick Thriftbooks over any other book retail store (:.Version: 1.1.4
✓ I love Thriftbooks!!Im Canadian, and even though the shipping rates can be a bit much, I still end up paying less then what I would have paid at Indigo. App works wonderfully! So easy and convenient to make purchases and browse..Version: 1.0.4
✓ 10/10 ServiceHands down, THE best app to purchase books from. Great prices, solid rewards program, great shipping, low price to qualify for free shipping, and great quality control. I’ve yet to had an order that needs addressing—and I’ve made plenty of orders since 2018. However that means I can’t speak on the quality of customer service. Overall, this is the app I would recommend anyone to use if you love physical books. Have already gotten many people in real life to start to use it over the years!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ The bestBest price best experience ever had.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Excellent, BUTA really excellent service, I’ve gotten tons of rare and popular books at thrift store prices, all in good to new condition, BUT the interface is a little too complicated. Its really hard to tell what rewards are available and how to use them. I wish the app was a bit more streamlined when it comes to the buying process and the available reading rewards. Its not broke, but it could be better. This is my go to place for all my reading needs these days, and I’m very happy to give it 5 stars and recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to buying books from more mainstream dealers..Version: 1.5.1
✓ A Dream AppI’ve had this app for about a year now, and I love it. The prices are amazing, you earn free books, shipping is super fast (even in the midst of the pandemic), and they upgrade your book quality for free if they can ship from a closer place. Also, if you are a voracious reader/book hoarder that tends to forget what you’ve already purchased because you have a gigantic “to read” pile like I am, the app reminds that you’ve already bought that book when you look it up. ThriftBooks is just all around dreamy. I don’t know what I ever did without them..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Good but needs some work.I like this company! And I would recommend it to many people. I have purchased most of my books from here, and it has helped me out a lot when it comes to saving money. I would’ve given this a 5/5 but I don’t agree with being sold items that are severely damaged. I think it’s unethical and shouldn’t be given to someone else. I understand that there are different conditions to choose from. Such as new, like new, good, and acceptable. What’s acceptable or good to someone else might not fit my expectation(s) or others. So whenever you guys order something please be sure to pay attention to the conditions. Other than that happy shopping (:.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Great customer serviceI ordered a few books from this company and I never received them in the mail, contacted them if they could track them which they couldn’t unfortunately. They gave me a complete refund and told me not to worry about it if I ended up getting them. I got one of them today and will be donating it as soon as I’m done:) who knows maybe the others will pop up (can’t blame a company for the shipping especially during the whole corona situation!).Version: 1.2.0
✓ LOVE THIS!I’m not one to “read” books as I have an iPad... But thrift books is amazing! I live in Canada and the shipping fees are perfect, when you consider that I exclusively buy hard cover... It doesn’t matter if there’s a tiny tear in cover or not... Use the app! But some books and read!.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Great Company!! Great Customer Service!!This company offers so many books and at such great prices. I have read quite a few bad reviews on the quality of the books. I am not very interested with the quality as much as the price myself, but even the cheapest book quality is pretty good quality! I love the points system used in the app that allows you to get free books after a certain amount of purchases. Shipping isn’t particularly fast around 4 or 5 days is pretty standard though. I have only had one issue with the books not being shipped to my home. When I contacted customer service they gave me a full refund and told me if the books end up showing up to keep them free of charge. It was an incredibly nice jester, especially when it ended up being the post office’s fault not theirs. I highly recommend buying through Thrift Books!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Share with all the readers I know!My 7 year old and myself love to read. It can be a costly joy. This app has allowed us to purchase and read all sorts of books. I’ve bought a bunch of books over the last few months or so without compliant. I’m not too picky on the condition of the books as I pass most on or donate them when I’m done. As long as they’re not tore up and readable, I’m happy. I’ve not gotten any books that are greatly different than the description however. My only gripe is the shipping can be slow, it is free with 10$ purchase, but it sometimes takes well over a week/week and a half to get our books. But it won’t stop me from using the app..Version: 1.1.6
✓ Best Place To Buy Cheap Books!!If you are looking for a place to buy books either for school or for your own leisure this is definitely the app/website for you! I’ve been using thrift books for about 2 years and have bought about 11 books total! I am never dissatisfied with what I receive and the quality is always excellent! Thanks Thrift Books for all the great deals!! (Bonus if you look up coupons online you can get even more taken off the final price!).Version: 1.1.3
✓ Great low prices, just two thingsI would like to start off by saying that this app is absolutely amazing! I love how low priced the books are and that you can choose from new, like new, very good, good, and acceptable, choosing the price and quality. I will say, when it says good, I was expecting better, but everyone is different so be careful when choosing. Just a suggestion to make the app better, you should have a category for recommend, like how there’s romance, fiction, young adult, sci-fi, and many more, you should add a recommended for you based off previous purchases and your wish list. Once again, just a suggestion. The only other thing I have noticed is that the app loads a lot slower than the website, so it’s not my WiFi, but the app. Just these minor adjustments would make this app 100% better..Version: 1.1.6
✓ Read More. Spend Less.That’s the motto, and I’ve been able to get books I’ve been wanting to read at a huge fraction of the cost. Even books that are posted as “Like New” are less than $5. Hardcover, too. I recently got a $50 gift certificate and was able to buy 12 hardcover books, whereas if I had bought them new, in paperback, I would’ve been able to get maybe 5. I’ve recently ordered 2 “Acceptable” books, and have yet to receive them, but there’s a list of what each rating means, so you’ll have an idea of what you’re purchasing. The app, itself, is basically a shortcut to the website, which is fine because with the app, you get 100 points towards a free book with your first app purchase. I’ve already redeemed one free book and looking forward to redeeming more. Thanks you, ThriftBooks..Version: 1.1.6
✓ Easy to Use, Lots of Options, Quality Control is mehThe site and app are both very easy to navigate. I love how easy it is to earn loyalty points! There are a lot of options for books I struggle to find elsewhere and books I struggle to find for a good price. Shipping is fast and cheap! My only warning is that you may order a book “like new” or “very good” and get a book that’s been very well loved. Not the end of the world if you’re okay with used books, but just be warned you may not get a book that’s actually “like new”.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Great App for Avid ReadersI found this website/app during COVID lockdown. I usually either buy books used from Goodwill or rent from the library, neither of which was a good option for COVID. My library is also kinda hard to get to, and unless you’re just looking for any book to read, is hard to find specific books. I love this app even more than Goodwill or the library! I love that I can find pretty much any book on here, even if it’s new, and I can choose what kind of book (paper or hardback) and the range of pricing. I even found a college textbook or two that I needed. To make it even better, the company supports several charities and offers good employee benefits, or at least they claim to on their website:). And you get free shipping on orders over $10, which, let’s be real, is super easy to achieve when the books are usually around $5. Every purchase gives you points and once you get a certain amount of points, you get a free book under $5, plus shipping. I wish I knew about this in high school, it would have made finding the required reading much easier and cheaper. I highly recommend this app to anyone who doesn’t mind a pre loved book and who loves to read..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Good books but...The app seems to be having an issue loading on my iPhone 11. The App Store said there was an update about 4 months ago. Maybe y’all should look into another update. It also doesn’t record my reader rewards points and kicks me off after I log in and surf around a little. The books I have order from here in the past are in the quality that I expected. Most of these books I have used for school research and it’s great to have especially when your local library doesn’t have what your looking for and you need a cheap option to find the book..Version: 1.2.0
✓ GET THIS APP!!!I don’t think I could recommend a better way of buying books! Especially new books that have just come out and are WAY over priced! Thriftbooks will sell them in New, Like New, Very Good, Good and Acceptable conditions. They also sell some DVDs or audio versions of the books you love! And after your shopping cart hits $10 your shipping is free! That must be a crime!? And after you buy a certain amount of books, you get a free book! It only took me about 2 orders from Thriftbooks and then on my second order I was able to get a free book! It was awesome! 10/10 would recommend this app a thousand times over! I got all of my favorite books that I’ve been wanting over the years in just 2 orders! And I intend to get more..Version: 1.1.6
✓ Good not greatBooks are attractively priced and very competitive compared to other vendors. The app is clunky and tends to be slow..Version: 1.1.7
✓ My Go-To!I am a serious bookworm and before I found this site I was spending full price for books at Barnes and Noble. I came across this website and I was so excited. My first order, I got 4 books for the price of ONE at Barnes and noble, plus free shipping for orders over $10! They came fast and in the condition I ordered (new, very good, good, etc.). Whenever I find a book I want now I always check Thriftbooks first to see if they have a copy. Every book I’ve looked for they have had a copy in one condition or another. I can’t recommend this Thriftbooks enough!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ I absolutely love this app and site!Not only do you get books for cheap (they are used. Other than the ones labeled as new), but there are so many extra perks as well. First off, when buying a book, you have a number of choices of their quality rating new to poor. You also have choices of hardback, paperback, library binding, etc. Obviously the better the quality, the more they cost. I usually get great or good which are about $4-$5. The new books are usually a little about $10 but that’s still a lot cheaper than you would get it anywhere else. I can’t remember if you need to make a profile to buy anything but I don’t think you do. If you do make one though, your purchases give you points, the more you buy the more points you get. Once you hit a certain number of points, you get awarded with a free book. Also, when it is your birthday month, they will email you a notification telling you you can get a free book then too! It’s absolutely amazing! On my latest purchase I bought nine books for only about $25 dollars! Which reminds me, if you buy (if I remember correctly) $10 worth of books, you get free shipping and tax! You may get free tax no matter what but I wouldn’t know bc I always buy at least a few books at a time. Even if you’re just looking for one book, I would say it’s definitely worth spending an extra buck or two on another book that you’re eyeing just to get free shipping and tax. I love this app/site!!.Version: 1.1.6
✓ Lack of app supportThriftBooks itself is great. 5/5 every day. My issue is with lack of proper app support. I have issues where the app gets stuck loading almost every time I use the app. The screen whitens and the circle spins and I get scared because I just tapped “place order”. It will do that for a whole minute before stopping. It doesn’t just do it there though, it does that everywhere. And there’s no other way to leave feedback or submit a bug report or anything. Every time I get an update, I remove the app and data, reboot, install from App Store and hope it’s resolved and it never is..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Affordable Options and Huge SelectionI am not an avid reader unless I’m really interested in the topic. I love Thrift Books because I can look up the exact book I want, even if it’s a lesser-known title, they usually have it! I have never spent more than $6 (before tax and shipping) on a book so far, and I choose the good/very good quality options. With my wide range of interests that are ever-changing, this is a nice place to find any genre really. I found an uncommon book at a thrift store a while back, loved it so much that I wanted to buy another and gift it to a friend. I was able to find it on Thrift Books and order it along with 3 other books I wanted for myself, all for $21. (free shipping on orders over $15) Heck, $21 for 3 books that I’ll get to enjoy, a unique and personal gift for a friend, saving a trip to the book store, putting perfectly good books to use (eco-friendly) and saving money?? yes please😎.Version: 1.5.1
✓ My go to for book shopping!I love Thriftbooks. Probably too much! I order books from the app constantly. Books almost always arrive in the expected condition. My only issue with the company is the sticker they put on the binding of every book. Sometimes I can get them to come off easily, but with some books they either don’t come off or they damage the book when removing them. I don’t want to look at a book shelf and see a million Thriftbooks stickers on the bindings! Other than that I love the company and have greatly increased my book collection because of Thriftbooks..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Best company ever!I’ve had this app for roughly a year and I’ve got to say they have the best customer service! I only had one book that wasn’t as described and they gave me a refund and let me keep the book. They have spoiled me with how fast they are on shipping because now any other online purchases I make take to so slow in comparison to ThriftBooks. I’ve always wanted to have a mini-library and with ThriftBooks it’s finally possible because of how affordable they are! I absolutely love them!!!!!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Wonderful!I’ve use ThriftBook all the time! They always have books I want to buy at the best prices compared to other stores. You can’t beat the price. I recently bought a newly released hardbound book for $8.00! Also, if you order I believe $20 worth of books you get free shipping. The only thing I’m not the biggest fan of is the shipping takes 7-14 business days….I live on the west coast. I just time my books accordingly to when I finish one the next one arrives..Version: 1.5.1
✓ I love ThriftBooks I love this appThriftBooks is by far the best thing that has been suggested to me. I’ve been buying books off of their websites for years but their app makes it so much easier. The have a huge selection usually for under 5$ and free shipping for purchases over 10$ in the US. If you are a member every purchase you get accumulates points to get a free book and just recently they gave their members a free book (just pay shipping which was like a dollar). Every book has been in great condition and the most worn one I’ve gotten was that it had writing in it (I actually loved it more bc it showed the soul of someone who had loved it before me). Anyone this is me rambling but long story short use ThriftBooks, use the app and you will not regret it, I haven’t..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Love ItI love this site! So many options for decent prices. Shipping is free over $10, unbelievable. The other day I ordered a couple of books, by accident I got one wrong book. No problem, things happen. Besides it was the 8th in their series and I was on the 4th. I emailed customer service and got a response in less than an hour! They were sending me my book for free plus I got to keep the wrong one. They took care of the situation perfectly and without hassle. Truly 10/10, will be using in again in the future..Version: 1.1.3
✓ Enjoying so farJust put in my first order for two books, will update review on how shipping and condition is. Shipping cost is very reasonable for Canada. 4/5 as app is as other review says, clunky. 1) app makes you sign back in each time instead of loading you profile from the first screen, it loads when you want to add to cart or favorite. Then you can’t go back and have to research the subject again. 2) I wish I could favorite the collectibles category for potential future purchase just like the regular books..Version: 1.2.0
😕 ThriftBooks: New & Used Books Negative Reviews
