## ThriftBooks Reviews in United States

### *---- "Be careful what you order"
I received a book in very poor condition(broken binding, stained pages,gross!) It had been listed as “acceptable condition”. They say I can’t return it.  Not happy!
-- Patmcgo, 2024-12-31

### ***** "Incredible Group and Service"
I rarely visit book stores anymore. Thrift Books is my go-to for new and used books. 
Their customer service team is incredible. 
I just received a damaged book, reached out to their customer service department and received a response within five minutes. Amazing. I can’t recommend enough. 10/10.
-- AnalPate94, 2024-12-29

### *---- "This app is broken"
I love thrift books but this app is terrible! Ever since the iOS 18 update it just won’t work. When opening it, it just sits there with a spinning circle, the screen grayed out like it’s loading and it never loads. I close it and reopen and the same thing happens. This is problematic since you need the app to scan books for buyback. Please fix!
-- asarakai, 2024-12-28

### ***-- "Wish you’d have a back arrow"
I use this app all the time and I frequently am frustrated when I click on a title or author and what to go back to the previous screen but can’t.  There isn’t a means back where I came from. I wish you’d fix that.
-- Andrew W H Campbell, 2024-12-28

### *---- "slow shipping and messed up orders"
I’ve given thrift books two tries now. I ordered 4 books a year ago and two of them never arrived. The two that did arrive were extremely beat up and had torn out pages. 

I decided to give them a try again this year thinking that maybe it was just a fluke, so I ordered two more books this time… it’s been 7 days and they still haven’t even shipped yet. Wishing I would’ve just paid a couple dollars more and ordered the items on Amazon and I’d already have them by now.
-- The future famous Lady Lacy, 2024-12-27

### *---- "Never receive the condition I ordered"
I’m done with thrift books after 8 out of every 10 books I order come in disgusting conditions!
I only ever order Good, Very Good, or Like New conditions, and almost every time I receive something that should be in the “Acceptable” category. I’ve ordered “Like New” that specified a 2011 printed edition and instead received a 30 year old copy printed in the 80s that was stained and dog-eared. 
My most recent order was a “Good” and the book that came had ever inch covered in grime and had literal clumps of dog hair stuck to it… ew! After I complained to customer service, they were quick to send out a replacement. Well their replacement just arrived and it is FAR worse. Not only is it missing its entire sleeve cover (it’s a hardcover), but it has mold spots!
This is the last straw and I will not be using ThriftBooks anymore, but will be trying Half Price Books instead.
-- Graceandpeace2, 2024-12-24

### ***** "My opinion counts!"
Thrift books is my go to place for anything that I like to read, I really feel that they go above and beyond for helping people find great reading material at a price everyone can afford these days! Great stuff,great service and great customer support,I really appreciate all they do for me and it keeps barnes and noble and books a million humble and in their place,Fantastic books and services,I really come here first and recommend them to everyone I ever see in the high end book stores! Love you guys. Sincerely Shawn Allds,Murfreesboro Tn .
-- Auldlangdied, 2024-12-23

### *---- "Book prices no longer thrifty"
12-23-24 Book prices remain unreasonable.  Haven’t shopped here in some time. 

Long time Thriftbooks purchaser. Prices are now reflective of collector pricing rather than thrifty pricing this site used to maintain. Plenty of other places that offer same books much cheaper. 

Change your name Thriftbooks. You no longer represent a good value on most books.
-- Raist999, 2024-12-23

### **--- "Freezes"
Unfortunately it freezes so often for me, I cant do anything.
-- Jascribbles, 2024-12-23

### *---- "Love ThriftBooks! Hate the app"
ThriftBooks books is an amazing website, I’ve bought so many good quality books from them over the years and I haven’t had any bad experiences honestly. Delivery is always smooth for the most part and when I have had issues, customer service was very helpful. 
HOWEVER, the app is terrible. Nowadays when I open it I can’t even track my package because the page won’t stop loading. Sometimes I can’t do anything in the app because when I open it, the loading icon is just swirling for literal eternity. Not sure why they won’t update this app it’s completely unusable at times
-- Fgjbdbdbdbbd, 2024-12-21

### **--- "Frustrating App."
Lately whenever I go to browse the app doesn’t want to load. It just continually has the swirling loading icon.. it’s been frustrating because I probably would have purchased items for Christmas gifts.. but the app won’t work!
-- Gimlipup, 2024-12-19

### *---- "IT’S NOT A BOOK REVIEW"
Need a GO BACK ICON !! If I click on a book title and read a little bit about the book then want to go back, I CAN’T BECAUSE THERE IS NO GO BACK BUTTON. Not having simple things like this makes me want to SCREAM!!! Do better.
-- Brshuga27, 2024-12-15

### ***** "Great service, app glitches"
I live thrift books! I’ve been using this service since before they even had an app. But the app itself still needs some help. ATM, mine will open but won’t load.
-- nottooshabbyforanapp, 2024-12-13

### *---- "Books"
Used to be a place to find books, but not now, you can only search by author or title, no more general searches
-- Flatdog1313, 2024-12-12

### ***-- "Poorly managed"
Freezes constantly. You have to re-sign in every. Single. Time. You want to add books to sell. You get 86¢ for a brand new hardback book with jacket, even half price books gives more than that. No update for the last 9 months and it shows.
-- Mary E Moo, 2024-12-11

### *---- "Add is never ending ,"
How do I stop ad I deleted app and it still comes
-- hardhat537, 2024-12-10

### ***-- "No back button"
There’s no longer a back button on any screens (at least on iPhone 12) and navigation has turned into a massive pain.
-- highuintas, 2024-12-10

### ***-- "Its ok i suppose"
The app its self is most helpful for tracking orders and receiving rewards, but the app is prone to crashing/ signing you out and rarely ever has what you are looking for in a large stock amount so order quickly
-- Mia_909, 2024-12-09

### *---- "Overpriced Disgusting Books"
Their new book prices are ridiculous. New books can be purchased cheaper on Amazon or almost any bookstore. Their used books are nasty and I horrible shape. I’ve received a book that stank of stale cigarette, 2 books with extensive water damage, a handful with covers I didn’t order, hardback books don’t come with dust over half the time, and a book damaged because it was stiff in packing too small. They used to be a good place to buy books. They are complete trash now. Dumpster dive behind Goodwill for better quality books.
-- RobertSean, 2024-12-09

### ****- "Recently have trouble loading"
I’ve used this app regularly for years. Recently I’ve found it to be glitchy and unreliable. This week I can’t get pages to load - it freezes with that “buffering/loading” circle swirling and swirling. I’ve deleted and reinstalled twice with no luck. What’s going on?
