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.

Recent reviews

I ordered several books last week. Out of the 6 I bought, 3 were not as described. One of them was over $17 and it came with no dust jacket and had stamps on the pages. This was absolutely not as described. Another one said it was in good condition and showed the book with a nice dust jacket, however it arrived with the dust jacket torn torn up and I could tell it had been like this for a long while, this was not done in shipping. The customer service has been good with them replacing the books immediately. It is the lying sellers that are the problem.

I’ve been using the ThriftBooks app for about two months now, and I LOVE it! I’ve had zero issues with the app itself. ThriftBooks is amazing. I love that I get free book rewards so often (and I just wish I could use it as $7 towards any book, instead of trying to find a book that costs less than $7!). I love that I can make a wish list and it alerts me when a book becomes available. I love being able to choose the condition of the book that I want. I love that when I was sent the wrong book one time (similar title, wrong author), it was super easy to return it for a refund. Couple of things to remember: 1) your idea of “good” or “acceptable” might not match a particular book seller’s idea. If it doesn’t meet your expectations, send it back! 2) Sometimes the used books are library copies and will come with spine labels/other library markings. 3) ThriftBooks really likes to put barcode stickers on the spine, which are sometimes hard to remove. 4) Books are typically shipped in a bag, through USPS, so they might get banged up in transit. ThriftBooks is GREAT for finding old, out-of-print, or rare books, but don’t expect to find books in pristine condition—these are typically beaten up and perfect for readers, not collectors! I haven’t tried selling books through ThriftBooks yet, but I’m sure once my shelves are overflowing, that’ll be the next step!

This app is amazing! I love it an I am a big book girly☺️I love how cheep the books are and how easy it is to order them and how fast they arrive after ordering! But recently they changed their apps age rating to 18+ and now I cannot access this app anymore :( is there any way for this to get fixed??
