Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that all items in an order will ship in a single package. Our inventory is held in processing centers across the United States. While we strive to combine packages as much as possible, we cannot guarantee product availability by location.

Unfortunately, we cannot change your shipping address from Domestic to International.

If you would like to change your shipping address from Domestic to International you will need to cancel your order and take your item(s) through check-out again.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

If you need to change the shipping information you entered, Contact Us as soon as possible. There is a limited period during which we can make these changes. To expedite your request, please select Address Correction in the Subject section of the form. If your order has not yet been shipped, we will be happy to make this change for you.

We cannot be held responsible for items that pass through Customs and require additional payment. We have zero control in Customs fees but in most cases our customers never get charged, especially for low-value packages. However, it's technically possible, unfortunately it's out of our hands. We are not able to refund based on a customer being charged a Customs tax or duty fee on a package coming into your country – it's the right of your local government to charge this if they choose.

We cannot be held responsible for shipping charges or deliveries that do not originate with our company. Once our shipment has been delivered to the destination address you provided with your order, our shipping responsibility is complete.

Our items are stored in processing centers across the United States. While we strive to combine packages as much as possible, we cannot guarantee product availability by location so your order may ship from multiple locations.

Your replacement order will not appear in your ThriftBooks order history. Please contact Customer Service here for any order or tracking details.

Each item will incur a separate shipping fee for orders shipping internationally. We strive to offer the best international shipping rates and cannot combine these fees based on volume.

Our Domestic orders ship via OSM to be tendered to the USPS distribution hub nearest you for final delivery. Unfortunately, we do not control the transportation of the package or the route chosen by the delivery company. If your order does not seem to be going directly to you, there can be a few reasons for this. It is not uncommon for a package to leave your delivery area to be sorted and returned back to your area for final delivery.

Your book is picked up by OSM from our processing center to be tendered to the USPS distribution hub nearest you for final delivery. OSM takes this book to their nearest sort facility, which will often be in a different state than the package was shipped from. After your order is sorted, it is then transported to USPS who also sorts the package before taking it to your local post office.

Very Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in excellent condition. Pages are intact and are not marred by notes or highlighting, but may contain a neat previous owner name. The spine remains undamaged.

Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact. The spine may show signs of wear. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions.

Acceptable: A readable copy. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact (the dust cover may be missing). Pages can include considerable notes--in pen or highlighter--but the notes cannot obscure the text.

Discover the perfect Collectible book for your home library or to send as a gift to a booklover in your life.

"First Edition Thus" means it is the first appearance in this format. These are typically reprints or alternate formats but not considered the "true first.". "Thus" can also cover various reprints and revisions, as long as they are the first edition of the book to be published in that format.

We price our books according to current market demand. For some out-of-print or otherwise hard to find or desirable books, this can result in the current listing price being higher than the original retail price of the book when it was first released. In such cases, we usually have the best price available anywhere on the internet. We do not offer price matching or negotiate prices at this time.

All collectible books are shipped in secure boxes to ensure they are not damaged in the shipping process.

There is no way to recover your cart other than to search for the titles and add them to your cart again.

• “Temporarily Unavailable” titles are for both NEW and USED books that we have no visibility into when the title will become available again. You can add a “Temporarily Unavailable” title to your Wish List and we will notify you as soon as we have an available copy.

• “Pre-Orders” are NEW books that have not yet reached their publication date. ThriftBooks allows you to purchase pre-orders once a title is 8 weeks or less from its publication date.

You can purchase any qualifying backorder from ThriftBooks just as you do any other item on our site. A title is considered a qualifying backorder if our distributors show they have that title on order from the publisher. The length of time it takes is dependent on the time it takes the publisher to make titles available to our distributors.

If the item is not restocked at the end of 90 days, we will cancel your backorder and issue a refund.

Once the title is restocked, it will ship to you via U.S. Standard shipping.

Backordering is currently not available for international orders.

Absolutely! Backorders earn points at your current Rewards level, just like any other title.

If your gift is not what you were hoping for, please

When a gift giver has completed the purchase of an item(s) from your list, ThriftBooks will send you an email once the item(s) has shipped informing you your gift is on its way, who made the purchase, and what item(s) to expect.

When you create a shared Wish List you can add how many of any item you want. When a gift giver has purchased from your list, we’ll update the “Needs/Has” numbers for everyone with a link to your list.

At this time, any list you share with a ship-to address added will allow gift givers to see your name and address so they can have items shipped directly to you.

Select “List Settings”, scroll to the bottom and select “Delete List”. Once a list has been deleted, it cannot be restored.

By default, all lists are set to private. You can change the privacy settings under “List Settings”.

• Private: only you can see the list.

• Shared: Anyone with access to the list (via a link or URL) can view it and purchase items from it. Adding a ship-to address will share the address you add with anyone who has a link to your list.

Please Note:

• Only list owners can make changes to lists

• Gift givers can see your name and address so they can ship gifts directly to you

• You can update your list at any time

If you add an out-of-stock item to your Wish List, you will receive an automated email notifying you when that item is re-stocked and available for sale. Items in high demand can sell quickly. If an item is no longer available when you click through to see it, we’ll leave it on your Wish List and send you another email when it’s back in stock.

If the item on your Wish List is available but the price has increased, this may mean that another customer purchased the available item already and the only available copies of the item are only available as a new item, rather than used. Prices were current when the email was created and are subject to change based on availability.

You can choose to receive a weekly summary email showing all the items on your Wish List that are currently in stock, or an Instant Notification email the moment we receive a new copy. Each item on your list can have individual notification preferences.

Effective July 1, 2022, the state of Colorado imposed a retail delivery fee on all deliveries by motor vehicle to a location in Colorado, including residences, with at least one item of tangible personal property subject to state sales or use tax. The fee is made up of six different fees:

Community Access Retail Delivery Fee
Clean Fleet Retail Delivery Fee
Clean Transit Retail Delivery Fee
General Retail Delivery Fee
Bridge and Tunnel Retail Delivery Fee
Air Pollution Mitigation Retail Delivery Fee

The fee appears on your receipt. Each order is considered a single “retail delivery” regardless of how many shipments are needed to deliver the items purchased. We are required by law to collect this fee and pass it along to the state of Colorado.

We accept Visa, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, Maestro, Diner's Club, PayPal, American Express, Apple Pay, Venmo, and Google Pay.

We do not accept personal checks, money orders, Bitcoin or Purchase Orders. Any checks or money orders received in the mail will be shredded and disposed of properly.

Pay Later allows you to split your purchases of $30 or more into 4 interest-free payments.

1. Add your items to your cart — just make sure the cart total is $30 or more.

2. Choose the “Pay Later” button.

3. A popup window will be displayed (be sure you have popups enabled). Sign in to Pay Later with PayPal and follow the prompts.

Pay Later will route you back to the ThriftBooks Order Review page to confirm your order and complete checkout.

ThriftBooks’ idea was to offer the best prices on the Internet regardless of the total number of items purchased. Because our prices are already so low, we do not offer additional discounts on larger orders. However, we do offer FREE shipping on standard US orders of $15 or more, as well as special offers and promotions for ReadingRewards members. Sign up to receive our emails to be notified of current deals.

Current ThriftBooks coupons, discounts, and special offers can be viewed here.

Because most cases can be prevented by the buyer, we charge a $2.00 restocking fee for each item returned to us.*

Below are the reasons why a package would be “Returned to Sender.”

• * Unclaimed – restocking fee charged
  

• * No Such Address – restocking fee charged
  

• * Address Incomplete – restocking fee charged
  

• * Moved/Unknown – restocking fee charged
  

• * No Such Post Office –full refund (how is that your fault?)
  

• * Refused – restocking fee charged
  

All packages returned to us come with one of the reasons checked off by the mail courier on a separate form.

* Restocking fee for items sent via Express Shipping is $5.00. Restocking fee for Canada and UK orders is $5.00, and $7.00 for the rest of the world.

In mid-2018, the US law governing whether a state could collect sales tax on purchases made from internet retailers, such as ThriftBooks, changed. In the past ThriftBooks was only compelled to collect tax for a state in which we have a processing center or other physical presence. The new law now permits all states to charge sales tax regardless of whether we have a presence in that state or not.

ThriftBooks is complying with these changes as each state makes them in order to continue selling books to customers no matter where they live. Taxes will be applied to your order as applicable at checkout based on your shipping address.

If you are tax exempt, please send a PDF copy of your Tax Exempt form to CSHelp@thriftbooks.com. Once we have your sales tax form saved to your account, you will not be charged sales tax on your future orders.

As a US-based seller, all currency on our site is listed in US Dollars (USD).

If you are outside of the US, your credit card statement may show a different total amount based on the exchange rate.

Unfortunately, there is no way to add more items to an order that has been submitted and paid for.

However, you can always start a new order. We have no limit to the number of orders you may place.

Unfortunately, we cannot substitute one title for a different title on our end. If you would like to substitute an item in your order, you will have to restart the check-out process.
