I ordered a book with free shipping. The book I ordered was not the one I received. They sent me a book that clearly had a $2.99 sticker on the back but they charged me $7.99. That's $5.00 more than I owed. It was also not the condition I ordered.

I try to support anyone who is NOT Amazon, on principle, but it takes a LOT longer to get stuff from Thrift Books. Sometimes they are a bit cheaper, other times not. The problem appears to be their choice of mail carrier - the bottleneck this time for me was OSM Worldwide, who must be the slowest and most inefficient carrier around. As the books all eventually end up in the hands of USPS anyway for most people, why not just use them from the start? I understand that Thrift Books won't get the same volume discount that Amazon get, but by trying to claw for tiny margins from cheaper mailing, I fear that Thrift Books is going to lose the war...

"This is a company that relies so heavily on terms and conditions portion within the sales agreement, they refuse returns even when return shipping is paid by purchaser. As such I advocate to avoid the temptation of purely low cost website, we (all) need to support businesses that are interested in customer service, not those which rely upon tight language to avoid any resemblance of customer satisfaction." My order is 2+weeks in transit, and they refused to accept it, unopened and returned me paying shipping cost.

Quality of customer care on the decline. They do not read questions and comments, misunderstanding customer concerns. Confirmation of orders by email no longer exists. Tracking system is on the decline. A few years ago, I had no complaints, but now I can only say the books are cheap and there is a large variety.
