User Reviews

Reviewers praise ThriftBooks for its vast, affordable catalog and fast shipping, plus useful features like choosing book condition and a buyback option. However, they frequently report misrepresented conditions, slow or damaged shipments, app instability after updates, and inconsistent customer service. The app is attractive for budget-minded readers and seekers of niche titles, but reliability and quality control remain recurring concerns.

Pros

Large, diverse inventory including hard-to-find, out-of-print, and rare titles.
Very affordable prices and overall good value for used books.
Ability to choose the book's condition and rely on condition descriptions.
Buyback/sell feature with competitive offers.
Fast, reliable shipping and delivery (often quicker than estimated).

Cons

Condition descriptions often not accurate, with books arriving in worse condition than listed.
Shipping can be slow, and some orders arrive damaged or with library markings that affect condition.
App instability after updates; crashes or access issues can block use.
Customer service responsiveness can be difficult or unhelpful at times.
Quality control inconsistencies, including mislabeling or poor handling slipping through listings.

Love the service. Bought so many books, however upon opening the app now, it asks me to update to version 26. I am running an older version. I do not want to update. Is there really a need for you to force this to users who don’t want to? To buy books? Really? I hate when companies force this. Won’t be using for a while I guess. Please make usable / compatible to older iOS version users.

I can’t say enough about the customer service. They really are awesome. I have asked them about many over and above and they’ve never answered no. I have been ordering from them for years. All my friends and family have seen lots of books and I’ve never been sent anything not close to perfect. And it’s great to get some very hard to find books too. Thank you for being a source for this
