Thrift Books buyer be ware

[Muskox]

I am fighting with Thrift Books, they are a major online used book store with millions of volumes.

They do not do a good job shipping books, and I am on 3rd rare book that was destroyed in shipment in two months.

Buyer be ware!

We had a big order, and some of it is still coming in piece meal.

Most of everything I bought was packed horribly. and there is a ton of damage. I filed my claim and it was rejected.

DO NOT DO BUSIENSS WITH THRIFT BOOKS!

I must say I have bought dozens of books from them through eBay. Good luck so far, but wish they did pack better.

I’ve always had good luck with them.

If Thrift Books is anything like ABE Books business model, you're just pissing in the wind.

I could be the seller, anyone could be the seller. One seller is bad, another is good. It's just an ebay-like bookstore filled with hundreds of thousands of independent used booksellers. If you order 50 items they simply covered the marketing and the payment processing, the shipping is by 50 independent dealers with a variety of shipping skills and shipping services contracted.

It is probably the same company.

Thanks, I feel the same way. I was just hoping to alert others to the BS.

I bought 3 different Hans Kruuk hyena books, and 2 of them were packaged where another book ripped the back pages off, because they were not protected from one another.

Then the dust jacket of the newest Boddignton book got ripped apart by another book.

One of the Hyena books was $85 as it is very rare, even in paperback form.

Sorry about that. I’ve had good luck with them for some reason.

I ordered the new Weatherby coffee table book from Weatherby in Sheridan. It was packaged like it was the Hope Diamond. Wrapped in multiple layers of paper lovingly.

Thrift keeps taking my money for the Jack O'Connor Sheep book and then refunding it and then telling me it is stock.
