Good resource for cheap books
I use ThriftBooks to find titles I wouldn’t normally buy new. The condition isn’t always mint, but that’s part of the thrift store charm. Delivery has been reliable and customer support helpful when I had questions.
Good prices, takes some patience
Deals are solid but be ready to wait sometimes.
Reliable and convenient service
Easy to order, books usually in good shape.
Good prices but shipping slow
I've ordered several classic novels from ThriftBooks and love the prices, honestly. My last order of Jane Austen editions took over two weeks to arrive though, which was longer than expected. The books themselves were in great condition, no complaints there. Still, I wish their delivery was a bit faster because I was eager to start reading right away.
Great value but condition varies a lot
I’ve ordered from ThriftBooks a few times, mostly for study materials and some leisure reading. The prices are fantastic compared to other online sellers, and they have such a huge variety, it’s easy to find what I need. That said, the condition descriptions can sometimes be off; a couple of textbooks arrived with markings or highlights that weren't mentioned in the listing. It’s not a dealbreaker but makes me double-check the seller ratings more carefully now. Shipping is generally quick, so that’s a big plus for me.
Good selection, some order issues
The variety on ThriftBooks is impressive and I often snag great deals on textbooks and fiction. However, my last order had one title missing and customer support took a few days to get back to me. They eventually sorted it out with a refund, but that delay was annoying. Still, I’ll keep using them because of the great prices and decent quality.
Mostly great but a few hiccups
I've been using ThriftBooks for about a year now, mostly for my college reading list. Their prices are unbeatable and I love scrolling through their massive selection. However, last month I ordered three books and one arrived with a torn cover, which was disappointing. Customer service was pretty responsive though and offered a partial refund, so that helped ease the issue.
Affordable books, occasional condition issues
I appreciate the low prices on ThriftBooks since I buy a lot for school and hobbies. Most of my orders have arrived promptly and were in decent shape, though a couple times I got items with more wear than expected. The website's condition grading system helps but it's not perfect. Still, I'm happy to save money and will keep using them, just more cautiously now.
