Thrift BooksReviews of thriftbook.com

I have purchased over 50 books from Thrift Books. Most of their prices are quite reasonable. The depth and breadth of topics is daunting in its completeness. I have a very specific set of reading interests: military history since ww 1 and history of specific military institutions, history of American military medical services (I am a part of this history, Retired US Army Social Work Officer), the writings of Bill Hartmann and Paul Krugman, the history of southeast Asian military conflict since 1843 through the end of the Vietnam War, Guitars and electric basses, PBY-5 Catalinas, Matchbox, Hot Wheels and military model toys, to name a few. Thrift Books has been a 5 here. Quality is a 4 based on how much a book meets their published standards, ease of ordering is a 5, shipping cost is a 5, the presence of free book rewards is 5 BUT Customer service is at best a 3 because though they have been stand up replacing poor condition books sold to accomplish this replacement is ungainly, clumsy, and overall unduely difficult. I have received books in meh condition but based on the purchase cost and excellent selection I have let it go because I look at a used book as a used book and am quite flexible. I had great difficulty with replacing 2 different books that were delivered stinking trashed, missing chapters or marked up with insulting comments toward the topic and the author, in fact once their Customer Service denied that I was a customer or that I bought the book to the point that I had to get Trust Pilot involved to get satisfaction. I am not picky, my elementary and secondary education were in public schools where we received books that were in circulation for up to a decade and showed every manner of wear that kids in public schools can visit on textbooks. Everything being said, I am a regular committed customer and Thrift Books is my first choice for book buying, I take my knocks along with my joys. I wish that they would make it easier to get the satisfaction that they certainly provide if you make it through their customer service gauntlet

I've ordered several books from Thriftbooks and have always been pleased with the customer service and the quality of the books that I received. Recently I was disappointed when it delivered the wrong book. But when I contacted them, they quickly resolved the problem and today I received the correct book in great condition.

I must admit, even though I've had issues with Thrift books , I'll continue to buy from them. They have almost every book I search for 👍 Anyone can contact Thrift books at 1888-9791408. They are so helpful figuring out issues with orders.

This is a really good site for avid readers. A couple times I have received books that weren't what I thought they were. For the most part the books and shipping is cheap and the books are always in good shape!

First orders or 2 were quite a long wait but orders since have been speedy. Books are reasonable priced. Only real complaint I have is I am receiving books with bookmarks pieces of paper, post cards, businesses cards etc. Over all I am satisfied

I've found Thrift Books to be useful since starting grad school - to save on some of the more expensive books. So far, most of the books I've received have turned up in the condition I expected. However, there have been a few books that weren't. For example, a 'like new' book full of highlighting etc, or another 'like new' with a stain across the exterior of the pages. I did receive a refund, however - I had to order a replacement, which resulted in me waiting longer to get the actual product I wanted! It's useful, but just don't have high expectations and be prepared in case you get a bad book!

respect so much the fact that they make books available to people with different budgets and help their customers with getting good deals.

Enables me to get great reads at a very discounted price,Shipping can be a little slow but you get all the books you ordered within 2 weeks or so as they come from different locations. Just finished 8 book series from harry turtledove ,Worldwar and colonization books.Never would have been able to find all 8 books without thrift books.
