They won’t actually pay you for your books
They took a lot of my books and then never sent the money to PayPal.
Easy, quick, convenient. RECOMMEND!
I received my books much quicker than the estimated time, and was so pleased by the ease of ordering! I also received slips on how to sell books back to the site, which I definitely plan on taking advantage of. Easy, quick, convenient. I'd recommend this site to everyone
Excellent service as always!!!!
Wonderful Service
The company kept me up to date about my order. The follow through was outstanding.
Thank you!

One of the books was in great condition! However, the other book was drawn all over the front and back, the back cover was wrinkled, and the spine of the book was messed up!
You sent me the wrong book.
You sent me the wrong book.
Some one marked it wrong. I'm unable to print the return label. And can't get near a Post Office.
So what do I do now ? Just eat it ?
Incorrect and misleading descriptions
3 out of the 4 books ordered were SEVERELY damaged. Incorrect and misleading descriptions. The hardcovers were all water stained and ripping apart, the pages torn and folded. I will never order from this site again.

I never thought that the "book" was a cheap and poorly made print. It would have been much easier and cheaper to print it from my house because what you sold me is a totally joke!

I ordered three books eight days ago and have received only one. I am aware that your forms say 5-10 days. However, I've never had this happen with Thrift Books before. The two I have not received are: "HER
Again," bio of Meryl Street and "The Singularity is Nearer" by Ray Kurzweil. I am hoping they are not lost.
