ThriftBooks: New & Used Books

I discovered thrift books recently while trying to find a book I've been wanting. I could find digital copies, but I wanted a copy of an actual book. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer holding books and turning pages, not reading from a screen. The selection is insane! I found exactly what I wanted, plus several others, as well as titles in that genre I never knew about! I just put in my first order but I'm already planning my next.

Excellent service, excellent books. Whatever condition you want inexpensive you can find here. I've never had a problem. I buy in satisfory condition and they look to me except for the binder, almost new. You can be put on a waiting list if your book is out and of course a wish list. PLUS, they have great discounts when you buy multiple books.

Never had a problem with any books I've ordered, new or used. They've always been in good condition. However, if you decide to order movies be sure to order them new. The movies I ordered all work but the cases for two of the discs were broken, and the third wasn't the right movie in the case. (Although, I did enjoy the wrong movie anyway).

You can typically find what you want at a good price, but don't count on the condition being rated correctly at all. Feel free to ignore their rating system all together as almost all of my "like new" items are delivered pretty significantly damaged. Still worth it if you don't care about condition!

I would've given five stars but in recent months, I've ordered and received books that seem like they were published on the black market; typos, extremely small print, blurry text, words running into the spine of the book so they're unreadable (throughout the entire book.) When I buy a used book, I don't expect mint condition, but do expect readable condition. I will plan to double check the editions prior to order from here on out but even that's kind of sad.

I really love thriftbooks but I wish both the website and app were more user friendly. I like browsing for books. The app has an issue where books are blurry and stretched. The books are hard to browse and lead you back to the main page The website is better but both need a major update so it is easier to browse and navigate through pages. I like the selection and quality of books though.

I love this app! Many, many books to choose from. The prices are fair and the reading rewards are cool. The books always show up in the condition you expect when you buy them(so far). Sometimes I have trouble with the " add payment" section though, but it could just be my crummy phone🤷

I've purchased quite a few books and they all but one arrived in the condition i asked for and quickly too! I got one textbook which upon every turn the pages sort of broke loose from its binding, its not much of a nuisance to me even though i did ask for a very good condition textbook. Overall i just love the convenience and deals they offer and the ease of finding a genre you'd like to explore. I'll definitely be back for more books! Thanks

I find no way to search fo a specific title. To the right of the search box, where the "Search" button is on the website, there is a barcode symbol on the app. This is useless as I don't very often search for books that I already have. A pressing the "Enter" key on my device does nothing, very efficiently. Looks like advertising book for sale was the primary purpose of this app; not letting customers choose what they would like to by. Pretty disappointing.

I wish they displayed an image of the product you're getting. So far I've bought 3 books in "good" quality. They have arrived with the cover insanely bent, stickers on them, and more. I had one with a elementary school sticker on it and unremovable plastic covering it. It was also covered in marker and the cover itself was split in half. Another issue is that the sticker they put on it sometimes damages the books when you try to take it off. Other than this I'm very happy to get books so cheap.

The app works fine. I've only ordered books from this site once. Books came pretty quickly, but they were completely wrong. Not even close. I got picture books when I ordered specific short stories. I contacted customer service immediately, and still have not heard back after several days. I am VERY hesitant to order more books. I'll probably just support another book store. Good thing I paid with a service where I can request my money back. Can't even get the genera right.

Thrift books is amazing. They have almost every book you could want and their customer service is great. I accidentally sent my books my old address and wasn't able to get in touch with USPS in time to fix it, it was completely my mistake. I also contacted Thrift books to see if there was anything I could do and they ended up reimbursing me for the book and giving me back my free book as well. Great company and I will continue to support them. The app works great as well, no issues so far.

I have been using ThriftBooks for years and I cannot recommend it more. It's great for buying cheap used books that are still in good condition. They have text books too! My text books were gonna cost me $85 and with Thrift books they cost $26, including shipping. Also, the app is very easy to use, you can search for books by genre, isbn, and title/author.

If you are looking for good quality books at great prices…Then Thrift Books is for you. I have long time shopped around for books at used bookstores and Thrift Shops because they are cheaper and help people. It is also “green” as the book is reused after being discarded...So, now to the App - GREAT! It is easy to use and it is intuitive. Do yourself a favor and get the app, shop, and save. Plus, you can get free shipping if you spend enough money - can't beat that!

I absolutely love this app/website!! The books are affordable, and the condition of the books are great (even the ones labeled "acceptable"). You get your books within the time frame they promise, and it's free shipping if you spend $10 or more, which is awesome! (Even if you do have to pay shipping, its only $0.99!) You also earn points with each ourchase, and once you hit a certain amount, you get a free book (thats $5 or under)!! I cant say how much I have come to love ThriftBooks!

The pricing is great but I have ordered hard cover or library bindings and still receive paperback... and ive paid extra for the hardcover. And they don't seem to know the difference of conditions. I paid extra for good condition but what I got what a book with the cover ripped up and half the pages folded. But the book labeled as exceptional was used but prime condition. There is no consistency with their conditions. So if you dont care about that, good app. Decent pricing.

I have bought over 50 books from Thriftbooks and I will continue to always buy from Thriftbooks. They have amazing customer service, fast shipping, and excellent quality merchandise. My books are always exactly as described, and only once have I ever had a small problem....I called customer service and my issue was resolved immediately. They provide a massive variety of genres, and with the free shipping over 10$, I find myself ordering from them about 4-6 times a month. Love Them!!

I'm about to go off. I can not tell you how much I love this app! The company itself is amazing. They are super helpful, you get free shipping at a low price, and it makes getting thrift books so much easier and more accessible. Shipping is fast and they save so many books from just being trashed or wasting away which is super important! Thank you thrift books! The site is easy to navigate and they have a lot of promotional codes and coupons! It's great!

If only my books wouldn't disappear....several times I have browsed, added, and had to come back to what I was doing the next day, only to find that ALL of the books I had recently added were no longer in my cart. It's especially frustrating when I go down "rabbit holes" and don't have a physical list of the books I wanted. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. If you can fix that, 5 stars for sure. But my gawd that's annoying.

Super reliable, consistent, and good quality! The book rankings (New, very good, good, acceptable, etc) are very accurate. I've ordered so many books from them and I will continue to because each order was shipped quickly and I've never had a bad experience with them. Highly Reccomended!

I am tired of paying new book prices for books 30+ years old. I used the app and found the older books I wanted with no trouble. Into my cart, paid for, and noted on my calendar to follow up in six weeks. I had them sometime between 4-7 days; no one told me they were here. I will definitely be using this app again when looking for older books.

I've had no problems ordering in the past, but all of a sudden the app says my card number isn't valid. It's entered and saved twice, neither work. I attempted to add again and still says not valid. App also isn't compatible with GooglePay quite yet so I couldn't order any other way. Really sad as I love ThriftBooks. Maybe I'll have to start looking somewhere else.

Love this place! I've gotten so many great deals here! I've recieved a wrong order a few times, and its not uncommon that the app won't update pages when a click link(about 1 out of every 3 times I use the app), but its a minor con compared to the pros I get from this, and their customer service has been amazing; they've corrected my issue every single time without hesitation.

I haven't purchased anything with the app yet so I don't want to review it too highly just in case. The app works well, better than I expected. I do wish there was a wish list rather than just having to create an external list of things I want or add them to the cart (this method can have repercussions on the store itself). While older books are definitely cheaper, I wouldn't shop here for newer books. Definitely double check prices with other main competitors.

Great way to search for titles, locate editions & add to my wish list. The website is sometimes easier to filter or make a purchase, but I like the functionality of the app to search for books & shop, prior to check out. Primarily use to add titles to my cart & wishlists.
